I've dug out my old Seiko automatic generating system/kinetic.

Wearing this again ... except now I've upgraded it by changing the capacitor for a rechargeable Li-Ion battery as per the instructions here.
This is one of the early Kinetics that only ran for about 3 days on a full charge, which is a PITA unless you wear it every day to recharge it.
Now it will last months or years, which puts it on a par with Eco-Drive watches in some ways. I hadn't realised how far Kinetics have progressed.

40mm w/o the crown.

Raymond Weil Othello. I never have much reason to wear this one, I change the battery, put it away, then take it out years later with the battery dead!
At least I had the sense to buy a batch of batteries cheap online.

Pardon, but is that a men's watch?

Pardon, but is that a men's watch?

It is when I'm wearing it!
These Othellos were the same diameter for men and women (30mm), so it's hard to be certain. All the "diamonds" might suggest it's a ladies' style but I think it makes a good dress watch with the right outfit, like a dinner jacket. Not something I wear often.

This new (to me) guy. Just a test run but probably selling it. Too small. Shame. Gorgeous watch, nicely refinished.

Well I certainly made a mistake coming in here. I definitely made an extreme mistake going back 50 pages...

I'll be joining you guys soon...... *waves bye to his money*

Nice shoes Joel.

 

[Krona Kruiser]

Nice shoes indeed!
Here's my Tissot out for the day.

 

[Eeyore]

Tissot is love and hate for me. I've had a few, but in the end I sold all of them again. Still, I think they are very nice watches!

That's exactly my experience with Hamilton watches.
