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

TCP/IP

Here is my current fav daily watch. Love the thread by the way.

MiCr0

actually i posted a pic to the wrong watch - its actually one of these



any one suggest somewhere in dublin to get the strap resized?

MiCr0

cheers - i'd imagine this will be my last purchase for a while so i might just bring it to a shop.

i'm guessing this should be no more than 10/15 euro - or is this one of the crazy expensive things that only takes 2 minutes?

MiCr0

and here's it on arm

Brilliant! I always hankered after one of those.

I had this earlier one(still do, still works, but a bit battered)

Fabritzo

That's in pretty good nick, love the little button nobody could possibly use :P

Arrived into work this morning to this. Sorry for crappy pix, just taken with HTC HD2. Picked it up brand new from a jewellers in the UK (http://www.andrewmichaels.co.uk/) that ships to Ireland. They do Tag Heuer, Mont Blanc, Bell&Ross etc if anyone is looking for good deals.

It's one of my grail watches so very happy to get my hands on it!

Technical details about the watch here:

Alongside one of my daily beaters GX56-1A

The watch that was presented to my grandfather for 25 years of service in his job. When it came into my possesion and it was in a sad condition, but here it is serviced and with a polished crystal and new strap. It is a late 60's Longines Ultra-Chron cal431 high beat which runs at 36,000 bph. In it's day it was reckoned to be the most accurate watch, losing about 1 second per day.

Wibbs

Being a fan of vintage Longines niiiiiice. Very.

MrSparkle

Really need a new camera, phone pictures will have to do in above post.

Taking a break from buying watches for a while but hopefully can get either of these down the line:

TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 17 RS2 Chronograph
Rolex Daytona SS Black Dial

Maybe Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 if I win the lotto.

Just a quick question Mr Sparkle? How do you find you G-Shock GX? I've been thinking about getting one myself, bit of a G-Shock fan, how does it wear? Excellent collection by the way.

Thanks Corpo3030, it's an expensive hobby to have!

I really like wearing this one, I have to say though, it's massive(55,5 mm x 53,6 mm x 17,5 mm) and it can be a little annoying getting stuck putting on a coat. It's nice and lightweight though and I love the look of it. It's great wearing it around work as you don't even feel it on your wrist and I'm not worried about damaging it like my other watches.

I'd try it on first before you buy it if you can due to the size of it(I like the size of it, others might not). Some of the new extra large size G-Shocks are great, had a hard time choosing between http://www.g-shock.eu/euro/lineup/gd-100-1ber/ and http://www.g-shock.eu/euro/lineup/ga-100-1a4er/ and the GX56-1A. The all look great in the "flesh."
If you've any more questions let me know.

Not sure where in Ireland would have a big selection of them.

corpo3030

Thanks for the advice, you're right about finding a shop that actually has one in stock, I think it'll be amazon or ebay for this.

Here's a pic of my "seethrough" watch



other than by the visible "tic-toc" bit, I'm particularly fascinated by the different textures/materials on the watchface



btw ...the watch is white, it's just the light that was poor

Zagato

An Orient at last!

I have this one:



I got this 2yrs ago, keeps reasonably good time, and has a see through back. Could do with a fresh strap, but I can't find one that will definitel fit.

Ginger

So I added a couple of fine new watches to the collection lately

Firstly this Fossil



And then another one



And finally my new pride and joy a Torino Lamborghini Mesh watch with swiss movement



Currently have the leather strap for it, but will change to the metal one once they send me the links (its too small otherwise)

Blackpitts

so Santa came to town this xmas...

Wibbs

Santa came for me too, only the bastard forgot the new camera so apologies for the crap phone pics.

First up is an Alpina issued wristwatch for the WW2 German navy, the Kriegsmarine. 30mm, nickel plated brass case, fixed springbars. Got a nice little bargain on that one. Ignore the strap, t'was the only open ended 16mm I had. Will replace with honey leather coloured one.



Second. Well everyone seems to have a chrono of some nature in their collection, if not the whole collection itself, so figured I should have at least one, preferably handwound. I did think of the omega speedmaster, more precisely a 65 vintage one I had my eye on with the actual movement that went to the moon(unlike the later one that claimed same on the caseback). Then I thought meh, while a gorgeous watch they're also relatively common, still being made today and their value is pretty stable over time and unlikely to climb much, even for a "proper" 60's one. So I looked around and went back through my "keep an eye on" list and went for this one. It really helped the price was very good on an already (IMHO) criminally undervalued vintage issued watch. Even more so considering the name on the dial.



Heuer Bundeswehr from the 60's(very early serial). Issued to the Luftwaffe(German theme today:)) until the mid 80's. It was one of the designs Heuer took from Leonidas when the companies merged. Much influenced Sinn and Damasko later on. The former took over maintenance on these watches for the luftwaffe. Uses a modified Valjoux Calibre 23(230) to make it a flyback chronograph. Movement also hacks, IE it stops when the crown is pulled to set the time. Handwound. Movement held into case by 4 screws. Large watch too. 43mm minus crown/lugs.

Again sorry for the crap photos, will try to take better ones.

i love that omega

Wibbs

Ditto. I was so tempted to get an omega speedy recently, but couldnt find one of the original pre professional(pre 66) dialed ones. Well either they were mad money or of dubious birth. Gorge watch though. Weird it doesnt have a hacking movement though. They're among the best and easiest to read chronos ever made IMHO. No dates or moon phases or mad calculator gradations etc. You can actually read the time on them. It's one reason I never warmed to Brietlings(except for some nice early ones) and many of the TAG's. Never mind working out my remaining fuel and whether I have a shot with the swedish hostess, being able to read the time would be nice
