Today I am trying out one of these DKNY quartz chronograph watches which I bought for a fiver in pretty good condition but with a couple of minor issues that don't prevent the watch from being worn and enjoyed. The watch is a bit unusual in that the gold-plated 38 mm case and bracelet are in "solid aluminium" with a strap buckle in stainless steel and this use of aluminium gives the watch a lightweight feel on the wrist which is rather good. The colour and texture of the gold tone case and strap are really nice; a delicate shade of rose gold and neither glossy or matt but a subtle sheen. The dial has a subtle sunburst texture and polished gold coloured markers and hands with lume on the hour and minute hands; it too is of a delicate rose gold colour, with the slim bezel enlivened by 54 small crystals that are not too blingy.
The watch has a commonly used quartz chronograph setup; chrono seconds and minutes registers plus a twenty-four hour register and date window. Water resistance is at 50 metres. This item is DKNY model NY-8324 and it is now just past its general availability time; I rather like it.

Martin the X33 is an ugly thing with a quartz movement not known for its accuracy but it is such a cool watch and not very common. The Aerospace is thin and very light you hardly know you are wearing it, superquartz movement accurate to a few seconds a year a tool watch but it also looks good as a dress watch. Only downside with the Aerospace is all the functions are controlled by the single small crown, it is clever but very fiddly. I like both of them but for different reasons but if I was to choose one it would be the X33
Never mind RG, I still like it...though I was more attracted to your gorgeous ring. Alright...stop sniggering in the back rows....I meant the one on her finger. Honestly...what are you lot like.....?
Dear @sabailand, many watches have passed by on this thread before I have managed to reply to your witty comment. Generally speaking, you are correct, and I wouldn't wear it in "polite society." However, we are in lockdown at the moment, so only Kristina is likely to see me wearing it, and every now and then I do fancy a little bit of bling - not too much, mind. :biggrin:
Here is the other watch I am wearing at the moment, for timing my exercise walks in the local countryside - far more sober and another charity shop bargain, bought in never used condition (pic from limitwatches.co.uk):

Was once seriously contemplating a Luminox but didnt pull the trigger, what do you think of them, they look and probably are a bit lightweight but that dosnt necessarily make them a bad watch.
