That’s very nice, I was eyeballing them when on holiday.

Im after something with a bit of colour, I have a pelagos and black seamaster that are very similar and I think the ceramic seamaster will go.

What size is it btw?

1st outing of the new season for this boyo. Hope the weather improves while we're en route

It's an A17320, 46mm, but doesn't wear that big

Perfect size for me

Wow, I got an Indur quartz for my18th birthday. Still have it eleventy hundred years later. It is worn to hell, but largely intact.

Don't think I've ever seen another in the wild.

dave_o_brien · 17-01-2023 03:17PM

I shouldn't have, but...

My latest. Seiko solar chronograph recraft.

Took a chance on this one, glad I did.

H_Lime · 18-01-2023 12:37AM

Worked out well.

Deep Thought · 20-01-2023 06:48PM

Have to say.. cheap as chips ( well €199) and a cracking watch

traco · 20-01-2023 07:07PM

I like that but then I'm biased. What's the logo say, I can't make it out.

Heading into the big smoke so broke out the almost identical big gun to the above!!

Ha. It looks like whoever is sitting down just kicked the dog over.

Timex

PAN AM ?

Deep Thought · 20-01-2023 09:21PM

Ha.. didn't see that... Yes Pan Am

Deep Thought · 20-01-2023 09:22PM

Lovely. love the Big Pilot ... But without the sub dials

2 recent Swiss Automatic daily beater acquisitions:

A Hamilton Khaki Scuba Automatic Syroco Special Edition: The build quality on this is excellent for the price as is the lume. Very comfortable on the wrist at 40mm.

And second, a Luminox Automatic Constellation: I’m not sure how much i like the dial on this watch and the build quality doesn’t feel great for a watch with a RRP of around 1k but I couldn’t help picking it up for the self illuminating Tritium which really is a killer feature for anyone who does a lot of nighttime activity. Will be looking to pick up something a bit better made with Tritium in the future, maybe by Ball.

Looking at a Longines chrono/calendar combo for the next purchase… https://www.longines.com/en-us/watch-the-longines-master-collection-l2-673-4-78-6

The longines Master range does have some really cracking pieces IMO. The only advice I'd offer if you decide to pick one up? Is buy it 2nd hand, they really take a dip Vs new and there's good value to be had 2nd IMO.

fulladapipes · 23-01-2023 04:44PM

This landed today. Omega Seamaster 166.067 from 1971. It has some form of vaguely sparkly dial. Polished 35.5mm front with matt sides, which is unusual. The quick date setting is done by pulling out the crown, which then springs back in. Each pull out moves the date forward. Needs a better strap.

Dipping my toes in the vintage waters.

Wibbs · 23-01-2023 09:59PM

You know it makes sense. 😁

Nice BTW. The 70's had some oddball crown functions, so that doesn't surprise me.

Handily and thankfully the vintage market has deflated a lot since the mad peaks a few years ago. Many dealers don't seem to have realised this, but private sellers have or increasingly are. I noted this difference on chrono24 in a few areas. Dealers wanting X, private sellers wanting noticeably less. There was always a difference, but it's widened by some margin.

samurai save the ocean great white shark ...

T-Maxx · 24-01-2023 12:03AM

That date already changing?

tmg · 24-01-2023 12:10AM

yep

Ryath · 24-01-2023 12:20AM

Seems early, Turtle was lying on my desk all day since I swapped to the Citizen for work this morning, even now at 23:20 date still hasn't budged. Never mind it's 12 hours ahead! 😂 Checking setting it starts at 10:45 too.

My grand Seiko snowflake is the same , the date starts changing over well before midnight so it’s not just the cheaper seikos .

Thats lovely, very smart. The Omegas from that era are very classy watch and while 50 years old don't really show it in some of their designs.

I just bought my first vintage on Friday so it should arrive tomorrow I guess. Not as flash a seamaster though but we all have to start somewhere.

dave_o_brien · 24-01-2023 10:12AM

Just trying this on a rubber strap - opinions?!

There was quite a price difference between dealers and private sellers. I ended up finding something in the middle, that has been serviced.

So, despite having a box full of 20mm straps, I have an 18mm watch, a 19mm watch and a 21mm watch.

If you are Dublin based I have a rubber 21mm set of straps I won't use...

I am indeed. It's for a Pelagos 39, but it already comes with a black rubber strap. Thanks anyway - very generous.
