I wear a Timex, so I don't have the conundrum of choosing between a watch and buying Parkers.

I went hunting today with a sweet little straight grip CHE 20ga. I never did look at my watch

Default Watch or Gun???

Is it really a choice.

Just get both and be done with it.

I didn't know they still made Timex watches. I thought they were out of business.

As a Parker owner who has always wanted a Submariner......check Bob's used Rolex's on the web and you can look at many Rolex's and Sub's on any given day. Many jewelers buy their used watches from him. Point is, you see the watches, prices and feel much better, you can always buy a Rolex. Then go to your man cave and pick up your favorite Parker and you forget all about the Rolex for awhile. When you have the best in shotguns, it is only natural that you want a Rolex but a woman who tolerates our guns, muddy boots, etc. and would even consider buying us a Rolex is a treasure in itself so you my friend are one of the luckiest men in the world! Enjoy!

I have a Seiko dive watch some where around here but was heavy and only used it when in the water, I like a pocket watch, they are sort of like a Parker in a way, Gary

If I had been asked the question posed, Parker would be the reply. Time for me is simple - the sun is up or the sun is down. Never needed a watch. Cheers, Jack

Never wore a watch. Worked on the ocean around the clock and could tell night from day by looking out the port light. Time did not matter, just the day count. Carvel
