I'm a cheap date. Mine is a WW2 forward infantry Bulova. I do love old military watches. Not so much into the aviator types, though. I need to wind it daily which I pride myself in remembering.

I'll be the oddball..I have never worn a watch as I have never found the need. I have this thing I have to carry around called a cell phone that does everything a watch does. Am I missing something? Is it a fashion thing? Enlighten me please
I’m on the waitlist for a couple different Rolexes but who knows how long those will take.
But ya. Some watches come with the knobs on the left. I forget why. Maybe its a right handed watch? Lol. Idk.
bomber pilots used to have to time their drops since there was no gps.. that and no pressure in the cabin makes it cold AF so the chronograph buttons are on the left side of the watch to be able to use your right thumb while wearing gloves.

Yes, you're missing everything.
A mechanical watch is complicated and impressive, a cell phone will always be just a cell phone.
High end mechanical watches tend to go up in value, where your cell phone will probably be obsolete and worthless next year.
A nice mechanical watch says you have style, panache and appreciate the finer things, your cell phone is boring, common and just about every homeless person has one. lol

Y'all don't laugh. Or at least don't point at me while you laugh.
This is my daily. The wife (then girlfriend) gave it to me in 1988 and I've worn it since then.
