1920s Vulcain pocket watch, made into a wrist watch... quite nicely as it happens
What are you saying here? Is that actually an old pocket watch re-purposed, or a new watch based upon an old pocket watch design?
I have something similar - mine's a late 1800s H Moser pocket watch and as yours has a porcelain dial. The Moser though is a chronograph similar to this:

No point taking a Rolex to Turkey, so my sentimental TAG has had a nice run out for the past week or so. Pit stop back at home Friday before heading to Mexico, so it’ll probably be going back in the safe.

TAG and yacht wristshot? A fresh take on an old classic. Thumbs up from me.

Very nice indeed, and a top quality movement. Wore mine all weekend and it did not miss a beat. Seemed to keep really good time too, which I confess to being surprised at.

Anymore shots of this?

Does it come in silver with the same bezel?
Sorry no more pics at mo....something else has taken up residence on my wrist.

Afaik this is the only monster with a blue bezel none available with a silver case.

You'd be into mod territory if that's the look your after.

This arrived today and am looking forward to having the brown leather 'pilot' strap I bought for it fitted.

Was a bit worried that a 44mm watch may look a bit big on my 'lady wrists' but I'm pleasently surprised at the fit and love the feel if it. smile

Looks like a TC-9 Lunarscope.

And another of those wrists that looks like it belongs to Vincent D'Onofrio in Men In Black...

Don't know much about them but they have some nice looking watches.

Bronze TC-9 lunarscope, ST19 movement to keep price reasonable. My only minor gripe is that the off-white lumed hands don't always stand out against the dial at a quick glance.

bazza.

that bezel marker looks a bit mashed
Just found my that the bezel insert is the same size as my 73 red sub which I happen to have a spare Rolex one for

Always loved the blue bezel Monsters. Never bought one, to my chagrin.

There was a blue bezel/steel case limited edition; I think that pre-empted the PVD case Prospex versions like yours:

I like that but not really into the gold hands and crown.

Been wearing this for a while now.
I need to find a decent strap for it - any ideas?

I was just thinking that the strap suits the watch.

It's more a case of it being a poor quality strap.

I think they look good on brown leather.
