That's lovely - congrats.

Thanks

Just posted a 'photo in the Wrist Check thread. To be honest as much as I like the look of older Seikos I've always worn something more up-to-date, this one however has left me wondering if the floodgates are about to open

"Must sell watches before I buy watches... must sell watches before I buy watches... "

Realised I had not worn my Dad’s old Smiths since Lockdown started ........ nearly 70 years old and still going strong!

I also have my Dad's watch. Not anything special. I must dig it out and take a pic.

They are special because they are our fathers watches

Absolutely. Here’s mine. It was a birthday present to my dad from my mum back in 1976. He then wore it to work on a building site for the next 20-odd years and it looked a bit of a state.

My parents had it serviced and reconditioned for my 30th birthday back in 2009 and it’s still keeping good time now.

I've managed to find a new Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Apollo 11 from an Omega boutique.
Very pleased.

Slightly larger than the standard (41mm) and I wasn't sure about the gold accents, but it looks much better in real life.

Anyone else have one?

Quick question on thread rules .....

Do I post in the "Incoming..what do you have?" thread if the watch is an x-mas present for my (non horological geek) brother?

If so .... Does this mean I've fallen off the non watch buying wagon? .... AGAIN

[gregd]

Safely collected. Bad pic, sorry!

Absolutely nothing special, but an O’Neill quartz diver brand new for approximately £35.

Comes with a fabric and a Milanese strap.

If they made an SC, MK or Tekken one, I'd have it in a heartbeat tbh
I'm a sucker for the SKX range and a splash of colour.

My Dad's was a 21st birthday present from his folks, back in 1961.

[Castrol for a knave]

A 1960 Bucherer.

The intention is to give it a tidy, not a full resto but a case polish, service and clean the dial. Not sure what movement it has but I suspect an ETA of some sort (2472?).

I like left field stuff, so the grown up collection will hopefully include a Ulysee of some sort, rather than the usual fayre.

i also have an Valjoux 7750 on the way, which I intend to use to build my own watch. This may not end well.

[The Big G]

A new one arrived for me a couple of months ago and I thought I’d show it here.

It’s an unusual Seamaster 60 with the F300 tuning fork movement. I really like that the movement is different and works reliably. You can hear it hum when it’s held to your ear!

For a watch that’s 40 years old, i think it still looks reasonably modern. I really like the look of some of the omegas from the 70’s along with an integrated bracelet, just need to add a few more to my collection as time goes on

You're one of the good guys T6, so I choose not to reply to your question on the grounds I may incriminate myself...
