Tough watch!

No message body

... you made psfparis!! Hagwe! Abel

Hi A pair of contrasting watches on the theme of tough. Firstly my Seiko diver - what most people would consider a tough watch. The left field choice Yes a Futurematic - probably thought of this as still enjoying it on return from spa. Not what most would...  

JLC tough - strong movement maker, can last a lifetime, the Maison can service any movement they made!!! Tough watches!!!

There is a lot going on in that movement but I would also say it is a robust one.

Good shots 👍

Have a nice week end! Abel

And two great choices 😊

Tough as they come: and this one: They look even tougher in black and white. Regards Kev. ...  

I will work on getting a tough Tudor. Tough Watches!!

I like your style 👍

... I put mine through and still working beautifully as when brand new. Hagwe! Abel

...and I’ve no doubt the Tudor will stand the test of time as the Explorer has. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Regards Kev.

should be pretty tough . ...  

I don’t know what is tough. Tough Watches!!!

Looks like you have been taken by a Sasquatch 😱

the bracelet extends 🤔

Nice freeze

No message body

And here quite literally 😉

Given it survived Dubya Dubya 2. A little less tough now as it works a desk job. ...  

Would love to have that with me during tough times... Tough Watches!!!

Like your choice a lot 😊

...  

Strap will def hold up as well, 😁😁😁😁. Tough Watches!!

Good choice !

Wish you also a great weekend

This is a really cool shot and a great strap pairing 👌🏻👍🏻

Casio G-Shock 30th Anniversary ...  

That is indeed a tough one, one literally built to handle “teeth.” G-shocks will survive anything..... Tough Watches!!!

Danes are the best! What a sweetheart!

And if you are not nice we’ll tell her your wrist is definitely not tough 😂👍🏻

Loving Sicily right now! ...  

Enjoy your trip please..

Realtime pic, after the swim and clean... ...  

Nice pictures 👍

This is certainly a watch that will handle a lot 👍🏻

...  

Who else can say their Rolex is space ready and reliable?? One does need robustness, even in 0 gravity, 😉😉😉 True tough gem right there Dear Ed. Tough Watches!!!!

Excellent 👍

Great shot 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

... for a strong coffee once a day ? Yesterday .... ... today ... ... tomorrow ? ...  

I don’t know the make of the other one, but it seems up for the task. Tough Watches!!!!

This one was issued in 97 and is numbered 300, the very last of the 97 batch

That’s a job for CWC 👌

Vickers hardness rating of 2400Hv and water resistant to 2000m... the titanium alloy was so hard iWC spent more producing these than they charged... ...  

Hardness with deep depth rating, tough one alright. Tough Watches!!!

Looking forward to outcome in this very difficult category!!

Such a “tough” choice, 😭😭😭😭😭.

?

Wears a tad large on my wrist however... but overall superbly crafted piece!

Good one !

Hard to beat those specs

🙏🙏

Water resistant (to 25% deeper than what is quoted/referenced). Saltwater resistant. Temperature resistant (negative 20 to 60 Celsius). Scratch resistant (2200Hv). I call it “Ze German’ ...  

Ze German it is.... Tough Watches!!!!

They have made some great watches.

Great shots and a very cool piece 👍🏻

Tested for 3 hours at -30 degrees Celsius by the folks at DNV GL (“Ze Germans”)😁😁😁 Love this thing

I'd be dead before I found out! I did change the bracelet though. ...  

Literally built like a tank, so tough... Tough Watches!!!!

never fail to surprise me with their toughness and character. This old boy spent a couple of decades going up and down the Karakoram, the Pamirs, the Himalaya and the Hindu Kush and never even asked for a service. And I really enjoyed its company then and... 

So cool....

actually try and locate all my old photographs, mostly in analog form. So few in digital. Just lazy!

There goes my watch budget!

It doesn’t came to my mind another material item that can stand beside you almost you’re entire life and still ticking,maybe that’s the reason we love and appreciate them so much

Not stand the test of time either... hahah

Barely have money for next week,but like Sly says “If you want to have a good time ,then you need to buy a good watch “

Thank you! It has been interesting and fun! I agree, the Subs and SD's and Explorers are virtually indestructible. Never have to worry about them..

Fantastic watch with many a story 😊

Titanium grade 5 ,1000m WR operational chronograph ...  

While I am in no doubt that is one tough watch, it is just so damn nice that I would not want to be tough on it, and that damn articulated rubber bracelet! Damn lovely, and tough. Tough Watches!!!!

I was prepared with couple of NATO straps for this watch,but the bracelet it is to good and nice looking to be changed

Looking forward to JLC doing something comparably innovative again 😊👌🏻👍🏻

Perfect tough piece for travels, especially involving water... SD Harbor... Here wristed, rock climbing with my daughter in San Luis Obispo earlier this year. Last year fishing in ID HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...  

Marine, and, terrestrial battles... Glad you could share your very lovely pictures with us, love the fish pic!! Tough Watches!!!

... cute daughter in San Luis Obispo!! Thank you for sharing these shots with us! Hagwe! Abel

Seiko is the perfect choice for adventure. Have a great weekend 🥂

And great shots of it, too 😊

The Rolex has been with me for 52 years now, since it was new. The crystal has been replaced numerous times, and the bracelet as well. It has survived everything I can hit it with. The movement has never failed. Rado #1 has been around for 22 years. It's ...  

Re Rolex - 52 years!! Wow wow wow, some people on this forum are not even that age, a true testament to a tough watch. Rado # 1 - I know of them for their ceramics, when you say “scratch proof,” my guess is that this watch is ceramic. Glad to see one not ... 

The Air King is from another world.

That Air King seems to be godly, speaking honestly, 😉

Too bad we don’t see more of them. Very cool ones, the third being my favorite 👌🏻👍🏻

Ok, tough watch. For the last 5+ years, this has been my daily. It has been on every trip I’ve taken, many far away places, many many time zones away. And some closer. It’s always in the bag. It’s been in oceans, lakes and rivers. It’s gone up mountains s...  

I remember having them as a navigation device. However, to go with you to many continents, bodies of waters, and even competitions, among other things? If that doesn’t define “tough,” well, then, maybe I don’t speaka de English Tough Watches!!!!

... you and your beloved ones are doing well too. Keep safe my friend! Best, Abel

The perfect choice for your lifestyle.

But not nearly as cool as the stories 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

This GS past the test at the ski resort This Hublot is my most weared during trips as I perceive it as rugged with rubber strap and ceramic bezel ...  

The GS at least can handle the cold, that says it’s maybe more than perception tough, 😉. Ahh the coveted Hublot ceramic bezel, I saw a series of pictures where a key was scratched on the bezel and then the key metal shavings were wiped off, that’s a serio... 

We should see more of these watches.

I think they did a dial with clothes fabric once... Someone’s “cup of tea’l somewhere.

But most GSs have at least 100m WR and can handle a lot more than the owners subject them to (or themselves). Two cool choices 👌🏻

... tough enough to accompany their owner to climb mountains, dive in the sea, exploring deserts or jungles or practicing the most demanding activities or sports. Here a few examples below. Thank you for your hosting this week end dear Ted! And thanks for...  

Ahh another coveted Navy Seals, such a missed line, such a rare tough watch!! Love the diff straps you have for it. The Explorer needs no introduction for being tough, you can take that thing anywhere.😉 That IWC looks like it’s ready for a cross country s... 

.. the JLC Compressor NSA. Also - as expected BTW - appropriate „surroundings“.. Wishing you a great remainder of the WE ! Best, hs.

... and the shots y submitted. I also wish you a very nice and safe week end! Please receive my best cordial regards, Abel

It defines exploration and is certainly the watch for a gentleman on a tough mission. Your bronze Panerai with the blue disk is one of my favourites. Kind regards The Captain

This week I have to say the JLC is my favorite - so well done and you found some great straps for it, too 👌🏻👍🏻

Well.. All first three from my JLC stables: - Not really tough and rough, but I would say with enough sportive character. Amvox 1 Aston Martin Master Compressor Memovox Amvox 2 Chrono IMHO.. Nice little JLC sportive threesome collage. Hope you like it a b...  

Both Amvoxs can always be made tough by the Maison! If anything happens to them, that’s true beauty of JLC, they can work on any movement they made!! That Master Compressor Memovox is not only tough, it will remind you its tough, with a nice alarm, during... 

Thx again & Best for your WE ! hs.

Wish I had picked some up when they were more widely available, tough and collectible, for sure, 😉😉.

Great choices my dear friend, a pleasure to view your great shots. Hagwe! Abel

Best, hs

For this WristScan theme 👍

I should have posted the MCM, too - in fact it’s a truly versatile piece that can handle a lot 👌🏻👍🏻

Hi Ted and friends ! In tough times we need tough watches ... Tough enough for commanding a nuclear sub ... Tough enough for special missions ... Tough enough for the North Pole... Tough enough for Exploration .... Tough enough for a Harrier Pilot ... Tou...  

Quite the exposition of tough horology there. The Lemania is def tough enough to withstand an attack from a sub. The Seiko looks darn ready for a rain forest mission, with machete in hand, watch out for those wild animals.. That PAM and the snow was freez... 

Best, hs

Thank you for your kind message, I’m just defrosting after the North Pole shot 😉

... I specially like the Submariner Lemania. Great shots as usual my dear friend. Hagwe! Abel

The Lemania is an interesting watch. Have a great weekend 🥂

Great selection there, Captain Scarlet 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Thanks my friend !

If it breaks your not in financial ruins either so thats another plus. ...  

All the boxes are checked for this tough watch!!! Be careful with that saw!!!! 😬😬😬 Tough Watches!!!!

And as you say, it’s a lot easier to replace 😉

Hard knocks against scuba tanks, fins etc. This watch has seen a lot of action in the reefs around Sydney. ...  

I know it is a tough watch and all, but it is, damn - too good looking!!! Rolex reliability and robustness without the negative notoriety. And it can handle a “reef” or two? Splendid Sire! Tough Watches!!!!!

Your mokaran is the real beauty of the dive watches. I like it.

Not sure if ceramic can handle a “bang” against the reef though, 😉😉😉.

Just as long as no side knock against the scuba tanks and gotta be careful when diving in big groups cuz some divers just like to crowd and throw their gear around. I compliment the mokaran with my heart. Have a great week Ted.

I wished it had a 300m WR and were thinner. This has strengthened my resolve to get another diver when things get better.

PS: If I may ask, do you already have a direction, in which „your new kid“ will then be searched for ? Best, hs

Actually I got into diving because I read about the Submariner and was seduced by the allure of James Bond diving with it. Now, the submariner is no longer as toolish as it once was, becoming more blingy with the ceramic bezel and the beefed up case. The ... 

... and agree with you about your thoughts about its present ceramic rendition as a divers instrument. Computers have replaced them as much practical and complete instruments and the use of ceramic and bigger cases make them more suitable for desk divers ... 

Love that blue version 👌

It is really tough indeed. I fell in love with this blue version since it was released, but missed the opportunity to get the thinner ETA version.

You made my day..

...needs a tough watch like the Vostok Neptune! 😉 Still exhausted, Ron ...  

If it’s fit for motorcycle riding, it has to be tough!! Tough Watches!!!

You can relax now 🥴

I am still thinking of an Amphibia 😊

Submitted for your approval: Among the watches with long and storied histories of adventure and daring above and beneath the waves, the Seiko divers, especially the 6105 through SLA033 Turtles have been there and done that. “A List” actors have worn them ...  

Trusted by actors.. Trusted by locals who know “extreme” weather... This “turtle” will last!! Tough Watches!!

Tough watch for any mission ...  

Helicopter, 😉😉😉.

Uemura first and foremost 👌🏻

...  

The one with the leather strap that goes in the water and everywhere else, that thing is awesome!! Tough and durable!! That carbon one looks like it’s made of race car parts, going at high speeds, has to be tough, even at high speeds! Tough Watches!!!!

Perfect to do sports

. . . 'owner' of this Omega . . . [ Ca '43 Ω ref UK 2292 / cal 30T2SC] . . . was. Issued to either an RAF pilot or navigator, and likely worn in aerial combat. Art ...  

Darn tough if you ask me... Tough Watches!!!!

That fits the bill perfectly. It’s probably seen some serious action. Well played Art 👍

. . . firing 20 mm cannon shells, it's only fitting the current owner is practicing with 9 mm. ;-)

that bleeds acid and has two sets of jaws! (Images from Aliens caught by the website the Nerdist). My version of the watch, the SCED041, is not the same dial colors as the original, but still just as tough. Quartz movement, 100m of water resistance; this ...  

This one actually fights aliens!!! So tough, galaxy tough. Tough Watches!!!!

and a great wrist shot. Well played !

Cool choice!

...  

You brought high-end tough watches, that’s gutsy, 😉😉. Well RMs are seen worn on athletes during “play” , constantly, and can stand up to that no problem. Now the Patek, I remember reading about this one, super over engineered.... I love that. May be high ... 

I am super happy to see tough high end pieces used in their element, 😉. You know how to make colors pop in hour photos too. Touche.

With great watches for WristScan. Have a great weekend !

...  

Well played with this one ☝️

The end all be all watch... The quintessential toughness, love them for what they are. Touch Watches!

... but no new kids were "Hangin' tough!" ...  

kids were "Hangin' tough!" ROFL 🤣 but your Seiko is definitely on of my favourites !

The New Kids on the Block would def approve of this watch, tough, elegant, and ready to dance! Tough Watches!!!

...  

A guy who is tough enough to enjoy an acting career after rapping... Loves Rolex...

A very cool piece indeed - and similarly to the Explorer, the early iterations scales quite some mountains 👍🏻

Here are some of mine: ...  

Watches... The DOXA and the Seiko are my favorite.

I thank you for you service.
