Watches... what watches you people wear?

  my ellesse (sp?) watch died recently... R.I.P. actually its not dead. but it is now languishing in my drybox... its still ticking but there is condensation on the watch face. dunno why. i went swimming with it and water somehow got into a watch that's rated for 200m depth
  
  when i was younger relied on my casio digital watches till JC. never got to wear a G-Shock. no offense but didn't like the sheer bulkiness of the watch. i can laugh at myself now when i tried to convince my dad to get me a G-Shock when it was the 'in' thing and was thankful for the failure.
  
  in JC, got a swatch watch... pretty standard for guys my age... now wearing my dad's carven watch as a temporary replacement. feel rather odd.. miss the clunkiness of my ellesse. well anyway what's a 'dress watch' anyway? my dad says the carven is a dress watch but i dun really get him.
  
  well guys and ladies how about thee? any interesting memoirs of the timepieces u owned?

  The design for Swatch watches are cool. But there are too many to collect already. I like them.

  Rolex? That's nice. so u can rightfully say u have "arrived". why dont wear it? normally high end watches like those 300++ models come with crystal glass which is virtually unstratchable so u need not worry abt stratching ur rolex
  
  rolex comes with a lifetime warranty if i am not wrong?
