My wife's grandfather passed away recently and I was given first dibs on the chap's watches. These were both sat in a drawer. The rotary is worth buttons but it's clean and hand wound. The omega is pure 1970s marmite. It's keeping time nicely. I reckon the Camille Fournet alligator strap I've stuck it on is worth more the watch!
Wow they must be tiny pieces compared to mine Your picture did confuse me for a few minutes until I realized that's a photo/magazine
Picked it up yesterday, one of the first to land. I had ordered it the day before the Basel show as soon as I saw a photo of it. I don't normally do things like that
Absolutely loving it, the rubber strap just doesn't feel like a 'normal' rubber strap, and the watch is extremely comfortable to wear. Very subtle and sporty for a Rolex but with that same hewn from a solid chunk of metal feel.
Glad your watches aren't 'tiny' and I must say, nice as any new watch is, there's always something so much more about an old watch with 'history'. Enjoy wearing them.

I did wonder if you may have been after it Andy; it'd go well in your collection.
Yeah - definitely interested in getting one eventually Luke, stacks of character with the 3H dial. Maybe something for the future.
Having had my collection expand vastly, with not many going, I do need to slim down the collection before buying anything else...
Hope you're well.

One of these bad boys as they've finally launched the 2015 version!
So a few minutes ago PH decided to change my post to include a hyperlink to an Amazon DVD (Bad Boys 1&2!), instead of just the words 'bad boys'! Now it's back to how I wrote it, what the hell is going on?!LukeBird said:

As I've been recently hankering after watches I used to gaze longingly at in mother's catalogues in my early teens, Saturday's postie delivered a 1977 Seiko M158 "Pan-Am" with the lemon-drop crystal and the 3-code time zones. I bought a new glass for it just in case, but it's actually not as bad as the pics in the ad!
Very happy bunny now, and a nice compliment to the more recent Casio World Time.
