路NOS early '90s Casio Speed Trainer, this was my first ever watch, back when a wierd casio digital was the must have accessory at school. I needed a digital watch for rallying, so I bought a NOS:
Why Not?
What other brand of watches do you wear?
Why Not?

路Thanks! The Jaeger-LeCoultre does get a decent amount of attention from watch nerds.... it's the Deep Sea Chronograph "Vintage":

I could go on and on about it but all I'll say is, it makes me happy 馃榿
That's what it is made for. Enjoy it!

路Here's an overview of my relatively stable collection, these timepieces don't undergo the buyer's remorse / flipping saga.
Mostly Tag Heuer, and Carreras in particular.
Not shown are a couple of Vostok Komandirskie which I don't wear, only for fun, random Casios, and many, many Swatch 馃榾

路Very nice collection! What is the 3-hand omega in the top row? How do you get on with the 2000 multigraph?

As @imagwai mentioned, it is indeed a Railmaster.
This is the 39mm version, a NOS I found on chrono24 in Italy.
I once foolishly bought the XXL version, a whopping 49.2mm which eventually I never wore and flipped for a Carrera.
The multigraph, well, is a fun challenge. You have to spin the crown x number of times to get to a function. Tricky, and painful 馃榾

路It's a nice, polyvalent watch with a respectable pedigree.
I personally consider it next to the Carrera and the Zenith el Primero among the nicest chronographs available.

路To be truthful, I once considered the Portugesier.
But to compare it to a Speedmaster is a bit unfair considering the price gap.
But, I would go for an el Primero against it.

Many NOS vintage ones, many Chronos, and among them the old Irony skeleton automatic.

路Other than my two TAG's which have been great watches, I've got an Omega Bond SMP and a Timex Expedition Scout. I actually like the Timex - it's a great watch for the price and has held up very well on my fishing trips.
My dad gave me his Omega SMP as a "gift" back in July. It was running about a minute fast per day, so I bit the bullet and had a full service done on the watch and received it back a couple of months ago. It's running well now, averaging just over +2 spd. Here's a shot of the Omega:

路Original favorite - Seiko A829. "Astronaut". Now semi-retired but still working 100%. Thought about refurbishing but I like the wear and tear. It's been with me for 30+ years.
