Good call Kev - I wear a pair of MK pants every day.Love me a good whistle as much as a decent pair of utility pants when in the brush with the dogs. I'm a carhartt double knee fan forever but these Mountain Khakis Alpine Utility pants are the kicker with class. They also make a feild pant that holds up over time with chainsaw in hand.

I don't know about you, but if I were from San Antonio, I'd stick with something warmerI am a Prana Stretch Zion guy now, pants and shorts. Super durable, more comfortable than my old MKs, and have a useful pocket on the left hip. You can wear them with a belt or without.
This is my favorite clothing I own. Period. I wanted to put them on this thread, but all the Rolex posts discouraged me. You should have a pair...its on my 100 things I can't do without list.I don't know about you, but if I were from San Antonio, I'd stick with something warmer

Yes! Great for hiking! Super comfortable, and I find them warm enough except in the coldest temps < 38 or so.I wish I could echo the MK love, but every pair I owned back in the mid-2000s quickly fell apart.

All of which is totally immaterial to me. Especially the thermometer. One aspect of a Rolex is it is self winding and simple in what it does - in my case provide the time in two time zones.I feel that this might be my last post on this forum, surely the Admins are going to kick my ass off for this...and to my credit, I did try to bite my tongue, but I failed.
The Rolex watch is not the VERY BEST watch. It might be a pretty piece of jewelry, but the best watch? Come on...yall don't really believe that do you? At its best, it can tell time; and look great doing it.
If you want to stay true to the intention of this thread, the best watch is a G-Shock Master of G Series. Not only does it tell time, it sets the time by itself using the atomic clock. It charges the battery using solar, and it can sit in hibernation mode for almost 2 years before needing a charge. It has a compass. It has a thermometer. It has a barometer. An LED back light. Water resistant to 200m. And on and on and on...

My TAG ticks louder than the TimexAnd I do also like my $30 timex, but it ticks and that bothers me.
Mine is 36 years old and serviced 3 times. It tells me when necessary by really loosing time. The Geneva folks do make it run / look nice though.As far as the best watch, a Rolex sport model can run reliably and accurately for sometimes decades without servicing (they say you should do it every 5 years but I think that’s nuts). Patek or whatever is going to be “nicer” and a G-shock may take more abuse, but a Rolex is going to take a beating and keep functioning while looking ok with pretty much everything from a suit to overalls.

Actually one of my favorite watching that I have seen in person is my friend and neighbor’s quartz TAG. He got it from his father when he was young and he has worn in every day since (35 years?). The interesting part is that he is in construction/remodeling/rebuilding old cars (has had rovers, but really a porsche guy primarily). It looks like it has been through WW3. The bezel is almost entirely worn away. I need to get a picture next time I see him.My TAG ticks louder than the Timex
