Odd couples..lets see your cheapest watch you wear and most expensive.

I don't wear it often, but I do wear it:



This one isn't the highest retail, but it is the most I've paid:

This one?





It's the DW-290 - a cranky, quirky minor cult of a watch from the 1990s. It shares a module with some early G-Shocks. Tom Cruise wore one in a Mission Impossible film.

As you'll see from the more revealing picture below, it's an odd, amorphous looking thing with fetching turquoise highlights.







You can have it, if you like - just PM me your address.

The DW-290 does indeed have a small but devoted cult following. I have never been much of a modder, but it turns out that the DW-290 ain't a bad "platform" for that.

A little nail polish remover and a NATO band gets you this:

If not the cheapest, it is certainly among them. Timex Expedition Rugged Wide Digital (Chrono Alarm Timer).



This was a gift, but I think it is the most expensive watch I have. The closest "competitor" would likely be an IWC Mark XV.

So it turns out that my least expensive (the $5 Timex)

is one of the collectable 70s Timex Mercury range, there's one on Etsy for £100 (which puts it well north of my median spend of about £25)
