Pure class.

I've gone a few years without buying a watch, and now I've bought my second within the space of a fortnight...

Always fancied a Seiko 5 for the collection. I also fancied a gold coloured watch. Sign of age I suppose but it would make a nice change from the usual stainless steel. Arrived today and I like it. Even got a display back.

That's one lovely watch there. Time you had it cleaned though. Look at the sludge on the links!

Absolutely right.

I wear it all the time hence the dirt & scratches.

Been wearing this the last couple of days. I really like it, but I'm always surprised each time I put it on by how large it is in both diameter and thickness.

Want to swap?

Struggling to find a reason to use my other watches at the moment...

I haven't worn this for a while - I got it for my 30th birthday - nearly 30 years ago!

A refreshing change from large steel sports watches. Hopefully you'll still be wearing it in another 30.

That's rather nice. What model is it?

[vixen1700]

Interesting, re the WT Author.

Just went onto their site and really like the 1934.



Cheers for posting. Yet another small brand to keep my eye on.

That's the Marine Klassik (as opposed to 'Original'). Normally an auto I specced it with manual wind 2804, Romans and glass back.

Wearing this today in honour of a lovely message of thanks from a real NASA Astronaut who left a nice comment on my video about battery change and resetting the X-33.

Part of my retro Heuer branded collection this week

Decided to give another Graham an outing.

I quite like that. Apart from the cigarette lighter stuck on the side, obviously.

Nice email.

So what’s the score with shuttle crew being “allowed to buy” one per mission? You’d think omega would be keen to be associated with nasa and giving them to people going into space? Or at least NASA buying them?

Maybe they can buy them at a big discount like Bremont do with their watches?
