Well, the time has come and I have taken my first pics of watches, namely wristwatches. (Shame on me as I should post my first pic of a pocket watch since I am the pocket watch moderator, right? )

I love unique faceted crystaled wristwatches. I have two in my wristwatch collection I think are unusual. I have to admit it's why I purchased both watches! Take a look!

What is your most unique faceted crystaled wristwatch? Show a pic!

Stephanie,

Congratulations on posting your first pictures!!

They look absolutely great!

My ww crystals are "Plain Jane" and not nearly as nice as the ones you have shared here with us.

Post more pictures when you can.

Stephanie, I think I called this a Longines, when we discussed it before. It is, obviously, a Lord Elgin.

The crystal is divided into four main facets.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for posting and sharing your very interesting faceted crystal Lord Elgin! Very different Tom.

Would anyone else like to post a unique faceted crystal wristwatch?

I just watched the film starring Kevin Costner and cos of this thread I watch the watches
I think K/C is wearing a multi-faceted tank
Is it anything other that a "pot boiler" (UK for ordinary )

A *diamond* crystal! 9mm by 7 mm..we figure about a carat. prefect clarity..
