I dont always wear a watch, but when I do I wear my only nice watch. That being a Eterna Kontiki Diver with a green dial. Doesnt fit my clothing at times which makes me just go without, but I do like to wear it

Nice! I’m a huge Eterna fan. Would love to see a picture of your watch!

I only have one "nice" watch and I wear it almost daily. It is a vintage automatic Omega De Ville, which I presume is from the 60s or 70s. I bought it because I couldn't afford a new Omega, and because I like the simpler look of older watches. That said, I do hope to one day own a modern Omega -- something not massive, but not as small as all vintage equivalents. While I like my vintage watch, the size makes it noticeable different from modern watches, and I don't always want the watch to be a statement piece.

That’s a beauty!

Thank you! I got it on the omega forum. Good community of folks over there and way more reliable than eBay. The watch world is touch to shop in with confidence.
I never joined the Omega forum, but I was on the Watchuseek forum for a long time. I’m still sort of on it, but my watch collecting is waning after over 30 years of collecting. I still have the Omega Seamaster my mother gave my father on his birthday in 1956, as well as a Speedy Pro I purchased new in 2000.
