Something similar to this li’l(cheap) beauty, is what I wore regularly, until around 1999 BC (Before Cell) phone 
I put my watch’s through the wringer, typically forgetting to take it off before doing some kind of mechanic work. Many time’s ended up washing it along with my hand’s in hand cleaner, to get the oil/grease out of the nook’s, and cranny’s.

Blessed to be sporting this. I’ve always had a £100 watch until I saved and bought a second hand tag which I loved. Until I got it wet and it turned out it hadn’t been sealed
. Breitling always had my eye but waaaay out of budget. Along comes the big 40 and what an amazing surprise!

Welcome to VC @OneJobJon 
Nice watch! Looks like that model came with oil pressure, volts, and water temperature gauges, too! Sorry, that’s the old ‘gear head’ in me 
Any problems navigating the place, @Grubby , @woftam , @Steampugs , or any one us will try to help!

I wear two watches, one for daywear which is a Seiko 5 automatic field watch in a beige colour with a beige NATO style strap and for evening and more formal wear I have a antique Victorian solid silver pocket watch that’s key wound with a fusee movement and on a Albert chain.
I will upload some pictures when I have more time as the in-laws have come to visit. 🫡

This probably doesn’t qualify for this thread, but what the Heck 
Grampa Heck kept this in his pocket, and after he passed, it was handed down to my Dad. I think he just stored it away. Then, when my Dad passed 8yrs. ago, it was given to me. I never had kids, so whoever raids my house when I kick the bucket, will have an old family heirloom in their hands. And, yes, it runs!

That’s a very nice piece Brian and very much worthy of this thread.
