Post pics of your watches ***Please NO QUOTING PHOTOS***

I don't normally wear this but it's the work Christmas party tonight and so I wanted something that would sit comfortably under a shirt cuff. I normally wear a watch that's on the larger side and have forgotten just how small it is at 37mm. For me it looks lost on the wrist. However it's nice to have it on again and it's perfect for the occasion.

It's all realtive though right? Give that a few weeks wrist time and when you go back to the larger one, it'll seem ridiculous.

The lesson I've learned is that no watch is actually as big looking, or smalling looking as you might think.

This arrived yesterday. A Soviet era manual wind. Start is the brand, or Ctapt, and the watch is likely from sometime in the 50's....

If you pop the back off, the movements in these are usually stamped with the quarter and year of manufacture.

Love all of those! My tame horologist restored a Pogue recently, and sold it for a very strong proceed, no problem.

Very popular at the moment.

Seeing the 5 earlier prompted me to wear 1 of my 2. Need to wear more often!!! Does anyone hear get attached to a watch? Have one from a divorce and marriage!!!!!

Speaking of Pogues, I've got one of these:


It is a Sorna automatic chrono. Swiss made, but in a supreme irony, it is a copy of a Seiko Pogue.

It runs an EB8420 pin pallet chrono movement, which was the cheapest, roughest mechanical chrono movement from the 60s.

Unfortunately, the movement is borked, but I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap donor to bring it back to life.

Mine are for my children. Might have one more big splash later on in life for a job or something like that.

It is a moonwatch

Eff it. After 13 years drooling over it I have gone and ordered it.

I will more than likely wake up screaming during the night with buyer's remorse.

I have been torn between that exact watch and a cartier tank for some time.

Semantics :P
But yeah, and tbh there are a couple of the Bulova lunar models that I prefer to the Omega.

JLC are one of those brands that have a lot of models that I like.

I found the right strap for my start watch. Too large, but with a squeeze it fits

It's up on adverts already, so that review might be very short.

That JLC is a beauty. You've done the right thing !

Yeah, it's up for sale already! It's nice, but not exactly what I wanted. I prefer the cocktail time, and I prefer the date window. I just happened to get a good deal on it. I'll wear it for the moment. But first Presage watch I had, really like the quality.

I made a bollocks of embedding the photo, it didn't even upload right

The dial is a touch busy for me. I like the idea of the power reserve but I'm not much of a fan of the execution of it.

Good luck with the sale.

Yeah, i agree. I like the idea of a power reserve, but I'd rather not have it to get a cleaner dial.

The stars aligned me for in South Africa last week and I pulled the trigger on my first expensive (to me!) watch. Omega Seamaster Diver 300m.

Between AD Discount and Tax rebate when leaving South Africa, its cost me about 3500 euro. At that price I couldnt leave it behind.

Was worried about the size, but its actually really comfortable to wear and looks simply stunning IMHO. Really pleased with it. The box is a work of art....

Very nice. Blue fitted rubber will look the business on that!

Lots of nato options also.
