Solar Eclipse- Which Watch to Wear?
What watch will you wear while (to) enjoying the solar eclipse? Pictures please!

I will wear my Pepsi, the red bezel is beautiful like the sun. What will you wear?

Meh it's not a rare event. Just over the us. So no I don't care and it won't change the watch I wear.

Indeed. I can have Alfred ready the PJ and see it once every 18 months.

Since the moon will be blocking the sun and I don't have a sun watch I will wear the moon watch.

Here's what we saw at 2:36PM in Sylva, NC where we had 90 seconds to view the total eclipse. It was neat to see. Photo taken with Canon SLR, with solar filters in front of lense.
I wore my 2 Rolexes...
