I just paid over the score for this:



It's a 1962 one which means it is (a) rare, and (b) the same age as me.

That, sir, is fking Excellent.

Thanks for the replies. Useful to know. Wonder if I can get a Rolex in to the country as "Gift".

The Wife's Omega de Ville pitched up this morning and it's everything the seller said it would be. She's delighted with it.

Saw this on his site that I have a hankering for http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEIKO-AUTOMATIC-CHRONOGRAPH-...

It is rather.

I could have got one with hands that didn't need relumed or replaced and an original bracelet for about 3/4 of the price, but (a) it was made in 1967, and (b) I prefer wearing straps.

I hope it comes soon.

Feck all incoming - spent far too much on watches last year.

Me, too. Had 2 working watches in December 2008. Now have about 20. I'm getting a pair of pet octopii to keep my diver watches fully wound up.

Well, I'm pretty sure I can blame this thread ... I haven't bought a watch for ages, but then got Neil at chronomaster's update mail and had to have the cheapy regulator, so will have that shortly. Sounds like it'll need to go straight off for some TLC though.

This year for me it'll probably end up being one of these :

[FrankHovis]

Nowt incoming at the mo. I'm still trying to decide on the next one and have narrowed it down to around 30 watches

[CmdrBond]

Have a Black Monster waiting at the Post Office for me, will be going to get that tomorrow and a very nice quite dressy rose gold bezelled Casio Edifice coming from Hong Kong - watch the WristShot thread in the coming days and weeks to see them.

I think my current plan is to hold off, or possibly sell a few cheapos, and just get an IWC XVI.

Those retro Omegas look so good! Classic shape, clean dial - very classy. Love them.

I fed my vintage Seiko habit over Christmas and new year, compared to most other stuff on this forum the whole lot together wouldn't add up to a cheap watch, but I like them!

First up is a 1967 (birth year) Bellmatic





Then we have a nice, large Seiko 5 from 1971




Then a lovely 1968 Seikomatic



And finally a 1966 Seikomatic.....

It's just arrived (pics to follow) but I've just taken delivery of an Omega Constellation Chronometer, a tuning fork one!
Early '80s vintage... and it's lovely. Humming away like a bee!

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms chrono.

Can't wait.
