    Just googled the explorer - looks very nice; especially on a lumpy bracelet. Pretty happy with this one; as it's a nice change from my usual divers/chronos, but still nice and casual. If I had a choice, I'd prefer a sterile dial though.

    Yeah, bracelet is great, I think the dial on yours is very nice, together with the titanium, I think it will make a great casual weekend watch.

    Seiko Kinetic that arrived in the post yesterday.
    In fair cosmetic condition but not a bad price at €50 delivered. Doesn't really suit me though so might be relegated to the watch box.

    The continuing saga of a strap for my Quartz Girard Perregaux...

    First fitted it on a Nato that matched the dial. Looked well funky and new, though not classic.

    Then sourced a lizard in brown, added on the original GP buckle and while it looked elegant it kinda looked old and dated or something. Hard to explain.

    Thought about a stainless steel bracelet, but didn't want to put a generic on it and what original GP ones came up were always 20mm, not the 18mm I need and they were always mad money. Well to me anyway at double what I paid for the watch...

    Then found an original one still attached to the watch as it was sold, though the movement wasn't working. It had sat on the Bay for months not sold. I suspect because the seller misspelled the name. So I sent in the cheekiest offer evah. I was morto clicking send. :o:) He accepted! :) Quick fiddle with springbars and sizing(I have a stupidly tiny wrist) and...

    2zyhkio.jpg

    Changes the vibe of the watch entirely. Keeps it funky without being dated. Doesn't pinch my hairy wrists either. :)

    As a side order I also got the same model though with a pale vellum dial and dead movement, made in the same month. Here on the brown strap.

    2d26hcl.jpg

    Very diff vibe to it.

    I stripped the movement down. The mechanical works are tip top(the date changer is an issue on these I gather). When I put it back together every so often the second hand would move, one or two seconds, sometimes more. This would suggest the quartz is OK(that's usually what goes), so either the control chip or the stepping motor. Probably the chip as the stepping motor in these is a work of art and solidity.

    The bracelet looks lovely - the dial on the broken watch looks really nice too. Do you think you'll be able to be it repaired?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    Thanks M. :) Yea the broken one is in good condition otherwise. Even the movement is in great condition. Even has the little rubber battery isolators that are usually lost and its original rubber seals too. Fixing it? I dunno M, I've tried the usual breakdown and clean and no joy, so I reckon I need a parts donor. The quartz crystal seems OK as now it does run for a few seconds. It's usually this that goes apparently so if I see a non working one going cheap it might be worth a punt to nick the other parts.

    I have to say compared to other early 70's quartz' that in my amateur way I've fiddled with the GP's come apart and go back together very easily and are nicely modular. The Omega's are a right pain in the bottom with more delicate and more fiddly parts and backlash nonsense on the seconds hand. Finishing is better though. The Lips are worse again, a bloody nightmare TBH. Very loose internals. Extracting the crown can easily have the keyless works drop into the bowels of the thing(teeny bit of blutac can help here) and what backlash control there is is minimal. Even setting the time on one will have the seconds hand jumping around like it's got St Vitus dance.

    In these early days GP got it very right. They set the standard for all analogue quartz that followed in layout and crystal frequency and IMHO their quality, particularly of the stepper motor was well ahead of most if not all and still is in many ways. Never mind the teflon bearings that never need oiling. Mad to think they had all that in prototype form in 1970 and in production in 1971. Barely a year after Seiko brought the first quartz watch to production and market and the Seiko cost the same as a family car of the time and was made in tiny numbers. The Swiss rivals of the time were all overcomplicated and very pricey and delicate with it.


    TL;DR? If you get into the early quartz stuff, source spares as well. Preferably working and stick em in an antistatic bag sans battery in a safe place for future reference.



    PS what's weird about these is some like my examples have tritium lume, but they don't have any markers to say that like a small T that was legally mandated at the time.

    Absolutely lovely, particularly the cream dial/brown lizard (?) combo. I put up photos a few weeks ago of a GP ww.tc I'd bought at auction. It had an ill fitting strap and I've found it impossible to get an extra long strap in 22/16 size. Ultimately I've had to commission a new one from a shop (Jean Rousseau) near me in London. It's an interesting experience sorting through the actual animal skins and picking the particular section of material for the actual watch. Bit takes a few weeks for it to be made but I'll post a few photos when I get it.

    Yep lizard alright. TBH it looks too elegant or something on me M, it looks like I've nicked it. :D Actually it looks quite "feminine" compared to the blue dial and I reckon would look good on a woman's wrist. Though it's bigger than it looks. Close to 40mm across.

    It had an ill fitting strap and I've found it impossible to get an extra long strap in 22/16 size.
    Extra long? You live in opposite land to me. :) Well a six inch wrist makes my life as a WIS difficult, though it does have the advantage that the smaller vintage stuff looks normal on me. Bargains! :D New stuff not so much. I put on a Suunto once, leaned heavily to the left and needed physiotherapy afterwards. A Panerai would land me in traction. :D

    Oh yea that sounds very interesting. Ive been tempted to get a custom strap before. I got one once, a custom NATO made by Jurgens of Germany from old Bund leather pilots jackets. Was V nice I have to say. Will be cool to see the results of your process.

    Some fascinating watches and stories.

    Keep up the good work!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,506 ✭✭✭✭Marcusm


    Having posted photos of my recent acquisitions, I splashed out about £15 on a watch box. I thought a 12 spacer would be more than enough but I think I'll have to buy another one at some stage. 2 of the watches - the smaller ones are not really mine.

    Thought maybe you'd like to see my collection. I'm not a flipper and my buying is sporadic. My recent acquisitions probably cost about as much as nearly all the other watches combined.

    I can attach the photo but not sure how to make it appear other than as a URL. Usual apologies for the poor photo quality.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 666 ✭✭✭fulladapipes


    Having just acquired a new (for me, really second-hand) Omega, I can say I think your collection is pretty impressive. Particularly like the GP (bottom row, second from left): looks like some type of world timer?

    Yes a GP ww.tc which I bought at auction in late June; if you look back a few pages, you'll see a much better photo of it. It was a bargain and I'm waiting on a custom strap for it.

    A MontBlanc Nikolaj Meisterstuck in platinum and green malachite. I got it for a 1/3rd of retail price maybe 10 years ago. I saw one sell second hand recently for £800. I don't use it that much these days, it used to be a daily use pen.

    ]gold type right, silver top left, maybe gold bottom right, but I'd look like I'd stolen it. :D[/SIZE]

    The one on top right is a 34mm 1961 Omega Seamaster which I think would wear well on your small wrists.

    The SS Aqua Terra on top left is a 41.5mm and I think might wear a little large on you. The JLC is also very thick due to the alarm bell inside it.

    The second one I thought you'd wear is the 1984 DJ on the bottom left.

    Those two are the ones that aren't mine to wear.

    You'll. never get it right; the only one I paid full price for was the Seamaster which cost me £1,050 in 1999.

    Practicalities, wartime pilots need(ed) watches with large dials so that they are easily visible. If you think 47mm is big, take a look at my Railmaster DSL, it's 49.2mm. Only wearable by humongous monsters like me.

    Its a massive watch! At 47mm you can see in the pics, its the width of my wrist!
    Probably a little oversized, but i like it. Steinharts are an amazing timepiece. I have two others, both of which are 44mm which is a nice size. The quality of these however is amazing. Plenty of bang for the buck? as they say?
    The Nav B uhr 47mm (pictured) has a power reserve from a full wind of 48 hours, which is pretty amazing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,258 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    I had a 47mm Russian pilot watch - can't remember the brand. It was a big watch but grand to wear, apart the large crown that dug into the top of my hand.

    Damnit, now I want to buy a pilot watch again.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 666 ✭✭✭fulladapipes


    That Magrette above is similar to the new IWC Aquatimer, but possibly even nicer. And a lot cheaper too.

    In Germany the other day, I bought this from the guys at chrono-lounge. They're based in a small town (think Tuam and divide by two, but add sunshine), and have only an office. Nice guys though, and willing to negotiate. I've also ordered the crocodile strap from them at a price that would make you realise just how much profit mainstream shops are making on all this...

    So far, so very pleased with it. Fits well for a 44mm, and great lume. Also has the date function that I really (really) wanted, which ironically I had set to the wrong date for the first two days I had it.

    Sorry, should have said, it's a Speedmaster 9300 co-axial chronograph...but you already knew that...

    Its a bit of a Fiesta compared to some of the Ferraris on here! :D

    Casio claimed that I broke the winder on the Edi-face, even though it was in warranty they wanted 55 pounds to fix something which was obviously faulty, so I have a perfect Edi-face with a broken winder :(

    ANYWAY, this is the new buy.

    I'm slowing warming up to watches, and as an ex-scientist, I want to understand what I'm getting into. In the meantime, I vary between two "fashion" watches that I like for their clean dials, and masculine features. Hopefully, I plan to have made a serious purchase in the next year, along these lines.

    A Kate Spade Brooklyn Chronograph. Paid approx $120 at an outlet. RRP circa $300

    A Tous Drive Aluminio. Purchased for about $250 retail in the US.

    Been away from the forum for a while and also haven't bought anything new in nearly 2 years. I was supposed to pick up a Dornbluth 99.1 2 years ago but had to cancel that.

    This is not going to be everyone's cup of tea with the yellow but I'm very happy with it. I had my eye on it for a few years and got it with a 25% discount as the Aquatimer lineup is changing so had to pick it up.

    You joking, right? The yellow along with the orange one, are the best looking IWC divers IMO. Unfortunately, the orange one comes in chronograph version only, so the yellow would be my pick as well, while the new ones are trully hideous.

    Many thanks for the recommendation guys, Ive been very very chuffed with it - so much so, herself is letting me wear it right away (supposed to be a wedding present :pac:)

    Very happy with the strap (colour is a good bit lighter in person), and the case size is grand on wrist imo - thanks again Zagato for letting me try yours for size :)

    Yep the strap change mech licensed from Cartier is very cool. I'll look into getting a rubber strap for it also. Great to get it with the bracelet as it's apparently very expensive on it's own.

    Yeah definitely, the yellow and black is my favourite from the diver range from IWC.

    I tried on 3 of the new Aquatimers yesterday and I don't like them. The price is gone up also, they were asking for 5k for the entry level Aquatimer.

    Honestly haven't a clue.

    The dial is totally sterile and there are no identifying marks on the movement. From reviewing images of different movements it seems to use a AS984 which taking the style into consideration dates it to the 40's.

    Lugs are drilled through and from the faint marks on the caseback it looks to have been on a NATO at some point in the past.

    It's one of my favorites, I just wish I knew what it was!
