Nice exercise... however I did not expect to feel so real/close is not zombie apocalypse, but people coughing and sneezing around you nowadays make me as scary as I was when I was a kid and was watching Michael Jackson Thriller video... I would take this guy. As Boris The Blade (Snatch fan here) was saying, heavy is reliable... with this I can definitely protect myself and my family (from zer Germ(ans)...sorry could not helped it) during quiet times I can work out with it, as much as I might have to move/run from coughing people will keep its capacitor charged up, i can read at night using its lume as a flash light, WR is not an issue and I can entertain myself by playing with the power reserve button and GMT hand

The most practical choice is my solar powered T touch. Tells the time and where I’m going (compass) how high I am, (altimeter) how long I’ve been there (chrono) when I should leave (timer) when the weathers changing (barometer) and when to be alerted (alarm) But most likely my 6105 apocalypse tested or my air boss for the shear joy of it. This is a really good choice. I don't own any watch like this currently, but I was actually going to add to my post that I would prefer a watch that also had a compass and altimeter. If you're going on a cross-country trek, it would be nice to have those functions on a watch as a backup just in case I lost my stand-alone compass.

I knew you'd have a highly technical watch ready to grab and go.

I will take this one... Need to get my moneys worth out of it.. If I had a MM300 it would be my first choice. As tough as you want it and probably still running ok in 20 years or more.

It's this one for me-
A Divex 500 that got a second lease on life after saltwater ingress. I had to swap out the dial because the original needs to be restored. (it's temporary, honest!)The most accurate, most comfortable and most bad-ass watch in my stable!

Maybe this one- Because it has the handy-dandy flip up magnifying glass, that can be used to start roaring fires. And that hole on the left side, whatever the hell that is for...

Hot Damn! More pics please. I find this fascinating. This is what it looked like when I got it (after the movement was swapped)
Sadly I couldn't keep that awesome dial alone and tried my hand at reluming...it did not go well! I'm having it restored later on.
