Watch Ya Wearing

[donkennison]

Got this vintage Zodiac on the Bay a few weeks back. It looks like it was never worn. Even the box is in perfect shape. I love watches more than razors :lol:

[Cmaster03]

Strange to me how many people consider the black and gray as the Bond strap, when it's actually the one you show here. A hat tip to you sir.

Thanks-- I agree 100%. Before Blue-Ray and High Def, I can understand...but now it is pretty obvious the Connery strap was a little more complex than just gray and black. More interesting visually, too, I think.

I like it. :thumbup1:

[Chady]

My guess would be seconds for the upper right clock.

Using my CSI ENHANCE skills doesn't seem to work quite like on TV. But I guess it could also be a really, really small date indicator, but I doubt it.

This one just came back from the watchmaker. New mainspring, oiling and servicing. It's good for another 60 years. Gruen Precision Autowind.

I know most folks don't care for Movado but I'm adamant that whatever I wear has a clean and simple design. No offense to the diver/submariner/chrono guys. I just can't hack wearing a busy watch. So the Museum Watch style or that Stowa are perfect for me.
Rado, they are the best. I own the Florence model, and the mens Cerix. They are scratch proof, water proof, and always look brand new. They DO NOT MARK!!!!

I got one soon after they came out and there seemed to be a brief price anomoly on Amazon - I paid about $300 for a Ti case and black rubber strap which is what I wanted. The more recent ones look a bit cluttered IMO - lots of hash marks on the bezel.

It's a decent watch, nice and light. The rubber can get a bit sticky in hot weather.

Wearing this new addition, it arrived in the post this morning. It needs a little work but I will have it done soon enough. A little project for me...

It is on the Nato only as a temporary measure. I think I will find a nice brown leather bund strap for it.

1930's or early 40's.

That's a beauty - do the pushers operate the red hand as a chrono?

[Triumph Coupe]

That's a beauty - do the pushers operate the red hand as a chrono?

It is a very early and very crude movement. The pushers actually stop the whole movement and restart it. I think that these were quite a common type of movement as they could be marketed as having a chronograph function whilst remaining cheap.

It is certainly a very interesting watch.

No, wait, it is not exactly like mine. Mine has a fluted bezel.

The last time I had mine serviced, it was over $300. I have heard that it is about $600, now. And, that is if no major problems are found.

If you have any interest, Rolex might be able to replace the acrylic crystal with a sapphire crystal, which is more resistant to scratches. Nice watch, nonetheless :thumbup1:

The beautiful thing about plexiglass, apart from it's inherent warmth, is the fact that when it gets a little scratched you can polish the scratches out with a little polywatch. Easy to do and makes a plexiglass look lie brand new again.

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l274/Cybrok/DSC05522.jpg

First the Seiko. I really like that watch. The one I wear the most. I bought titanium because of steel allergies, so far no irritation whatsoever.

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l274/Cybrok/DSC05524.jpg

Second a submariner hommage. I know next to nothing about this watch. I bought it second hand on watchuseek, it's sterile, have no idea of the movement. Mounted it on a bund (german army I think, the one with the long code on the back) because of the previously mentionned allergies. I got this one as a field watch, but it's so nice I wear it in the city too.

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l274/Cybrok/DSC05526.jpg

And finally my good old swiss army watch. A little uncomfortable on the wrist though.

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l274/Cybrok/DSC05527.jpg

Seriously I had this watch for about 5 years because I couldn't afford a titanium watch. Served me well but I don't really use it anymore. Yes it's one hour late because I didn't wear it since I changed time zone. I changed the battery once in 5 years.

Vintage Benrus Electronic Citation. This is a recent acquisition that will be going to the watchmaker for service and a new crystal. This is a really cool watch. It uses a battery to power a mechanical movement.

I love Kobolds. I also like your band. Is it 24mm?

Yes, 24mm lugs. I use a wood block padded with rubber mat, and a Velcro strap to secure the watch when doing strap changes, so that everything is controlled and steady, as in a jeweller's shop. And there isn't one single scratch from all of my strap changes.

This watch is also the absolute bomb on Nato and Zulu (my fav) straps.

Clyde, what a wonderful watch! Are you sure about the dating? I am no watch expert but I believe that this was one of the first Suttons made. It has the elongated lugs and a flatter crown. I believe that this is a mid 1930's watch. No matter, this is a great collector watch. I hope you really enjoy it.

Rich, I think you're right. The crown is flush which appears to be an earlier feature.

Andrew, thanks for the GREAT link! Much obliged, Sir.

Edit- Just checked, and according to serial and the Hamilton dating charts, the watch dates to 1938. :thumbsup:

Thanks... Oakley did a great job with it. Certainly get's a lot of chatter. Thinking about getting one of the Holeshot's that they have. Good for a "beater".
My G-shock is my abuse watch. Have been hammering that watch for the better part of 5 years without a hitch. Never needs a battery...keeps great time...and takes a lot of abuse.:thumbup1:

Greatly outclassed by the other watches here, but this is my daily beater.

Simple (VERY) but it works. The crystal (plastic) is currently held in with medical grade skin glue.

Thanks... it was a gift from my father when my parents split up. I was way too young to wear or appreciate it (few 10 year olds need a large automatic chronograph).
