What watch(es) do you wear with your Esterbrook?

I need a Black J that will look good with my patent leather dress slaps (flops).

I wear an 1883 Elgin (key-wind, key-set) regardless of which pens I carry. Sterling silver chain with a shepherd's-crook buttonhole attachment.

My trusty fossil. The best watch i've ever owned, I've never seen one that better captures my tastes.

I wear my 10 year old Armitron (a $30 Timex equivalent) with one spring bar pocket torn out and drilled through for a length of music wire, with a 25 year old stainless clasp band (the clasp on which is just about worn out). Sure wish I could afford something fancy -- maybe someday I can get my granddad's old railroad watch fixed...

I've got my Seiko quartz watch on (dunno what model, it's a dress watch). I would prefer a mechanical, but get tired of winding it every day. The copper Estie J would be the appropriate match for this.

The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it.

I still wear a watch most of the time - a $10 Casio from Walmart! I'll probably keep wearing it, but with a cell phone in my pocket I feel sort of silly with it. Someday, I'll likely sell a Breitlling Navitimer and GMT Rolex that sit idle and neglected.

"All men [sic] of whatsoever quality they be, who have done anything of excellence, or which may properly resemble excellence, ought, if they are persons of truth and honesty, to describe their life with their own hand; but they ought not to attempt so fine an enterprise till they have passed the age of forty. This duty occurs to my own mind, now that I am trevelling beyond the term of fifty-eight years, . . . I am now more free . . . . " Cellini

BC, that's a nicely done pic. The pen really seems to match the watch. Well done.

I have one watch, a Ladies Seiko 5. I wear it everyday, so no matter the pen that is its mate.

IMO, the Citizens Eco-Drive may be The Perfect watch.

 

Mine is the full titanium chronometer, never needs a battery or winding, accurate to 15 sec or less a month and you don't even have

to reset the calendar on leap years (perpetual calendar). Not to mention uber-robust.
