My arm, that is.
My wife said: "Don't fortet SPF!"
I thought, without coffee in my bloodstream, "yeah, Stupid and Permanently Foolish, I know."
After coffee, and a couple of hours in the sun, I remembered what her abbreviation stands for...
Since a couple of years I don't like the new models. The balance of Rolex watches, the wanna-be vintage watches. But,... JLC made a very nice effort with the Deep Sea Chronograph. I really like what Jaeger did with this design. It is very old-skool without a logo on the crown. Also great is doesn't have a date.
This will probably become one of my favorite watches.
I've been looking at a lot of watch photography lately and it's gotten me inspired to experiment with my own beaters- Also gives me a great excuse to play with my new Fuji X-T1 and Fuji 60mm Macro :)
Seiko's humble but lovely "beater". Don't like the term myself, I prefer tool watch.

Late 70s quartz watch by Junghans with the second generation Junghans quartz movement: the 667 (version .20). I'd say '76-'78 period (should be printed inside but could not find it so far).
Not a Max Bill and not a Astro / Astra Quartz but still decent, fresh, large (!) and a work horse. Some love for early quartzes ;)

Citizen Nighthawk on a Maratac NATO strap. I love this watch more than I can say, quartz movement or no!
It has a inner rotating E6B slide rule bezel that allows you to calculate all sorts of things on the fly, like fuel consumption, mileage, etc, however I usually end up using it to calculate the tip. It's also solar powered, so in theory it should be a very long time before the battery needs to be replaced. The lume on it also makes it easy to read in low-light conditions and it stays fairly bright for hours on end.
