It seems that many of us who appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into a fine firearm also appreciate a fine watch as well. I searched THR but I didn't find a "Guns & Watches" thread. So let's start one up! Show 'em if you got 'em!

I just bought a Boschett Reef Ranger dive watch from www.Boschett-Timepieces.com and I love how the stainless steel and orange face on the watch matches the stainless steel and front sight on my S&W 686:

I retired my Doxa SUB300T Professional because it became too valuable to wear everyday. But I am so used to its large orange dial that I needed to find a proper replacement. The Boschett is 316L surgical steel with a sapphire crystal and a Swiss 2824-2 Automatic movement.

Here's my Doxa with Dirk Pitt's choice in armament:

For Saturday evenings out:

I suppose I could post a pic of a Timex and a Glock. They both pretty much go by the "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking" theme. :p
 
Great idea. I remember in maybe 6th grade, I was completely obsessed with time and how clocks worked. I don't have them anymore but I used to have a Movado Faceto and some kind of Rolex. I can't recall the model, but it had diamonds all around the face, and on the band.

(They were both gifts. I'm broke :p)

I'll snap a few photos once I get home though.
 
Nothing fancy.

Casio and Sig Sauer P238? Casio and Sig Sauer SP2022? Casio and XD45?

I have my father's old Accutron .... the kind with the tuning fork moment .... could take a picture of that with a Uberti Colt 1860 Army ... he he he.
Sadly the Accutron doesn't work .... second hand does but hour & minute hands are stuck. :-(

Hey!... Clive Cussler ... Dirk Pitt & Iceberg. Good novel. The book Raise the Titanic got me into his works back when it came out in hardcover. Great book .... really sadly uninspired, lame movie.
 
I am too much of a tightwad to spend big money on a watch. Guns are another matter, so give me my 20 year old Pulsar or a Casio and some nice firearm hardware instead.
 
I'll get some pictures at some point in the future, but my combo is an Omega Seamaster (2531.80; yup good ol' reliable 1120 movement) and a Walther P99 AS in 9mm.

I'm thinking a Sig Sauer P226 or HK USP as my next gun and either a Planet Ocean 2200.51 or one of the new Ploprof's (and old one would be nice too).
