Stephanie O'NeilYour most unique faceted crystal wristwatch
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!

Phil DellingerStephanie,
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.

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

Ken WyattI 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
)
