Post pics of your watches Part II

The iwc is class but 5 times the price of a used stowa... I'm flip flopping on selling my manual wind stowa

Nice.. it’s 40mm? It’s a bit small for my peepers. There is a bronze steinhart on Chrono24 I was eying up

Not had this on rubber in ages. It’s a nice chunky rubber strap and deployant! Cows not terribly appreciative of the style I wear feeding them.

Not for the faint hearted when you have no spare screw alright.

I posted here a while ago about not understanding the love for Vacheron .Since handling that watch ,every time you post it I’m reminded of how wrong I was.

Pigs in a blanket.

Omega (1971); IWC (unknown but 1999-2006); and Tudor (2023).

The Pelagos is really good on many levels. It is 39mm and light, really light, and the hands and pips are so defined it is incredibly legible. The bezel is also lumed. I think it almost works better on a strap (like this Erika nato) than on the bracelet. The only things I have doubts about are it's uber-functionality and the titanium bracelet and case. The titanium is great for weight reduction but I miss the shine of a stainless steel case and bracelet (like on the Speedy I sold before Christmas).

Same. I am also looking to add it to the list of watches I regret buying.

Picked this up as a first foray into something vintage and also a birth year even if its a silly idea to want a watch for that reason. Anyway aside frm the year I wanted to suss out the size for me at 36mm.

Its an automatic Omega Geneve, basically their basic entry level line. Condition is OK with siome scratches on plexi or whatever it is. Might try and polish some of them out, you can see them in teh pics and one is casting a shadow on the dial. The dial itself looks to be in good condition. Case has a few marks also but not too bad. Overall it looks decent enough. 1012 automatic movement so nothing fancy but seems to be fairly robust and reliable. Strap isn't to my liking and it has an Omega buckle but I suspect chyynaa, no scratches and says acierinox and swiss stamped on it but seems wrong. Also too short and brown isn't for me.

I'll have a play with it, want to get it on a nice looking back strap so suggestions welcome. From there I'll wear it as a dress watch and see if vintage is for me. I'll get some high mag pics under a digital microscope for fun when I get a chance but I think it was OK for 450. When I get some high mag pics of dial and what not I'll post them.

I reckon I could get away with the 36mm but reckon its style dependent and a black strap may aligator style might give it a bit more weight?? Let me know thoughts on straps, don't want to spend a fortune but something decent.

18mm on the watch and 16mm on the buckle but no idea if thats relevent, suppose it only matters if I want to use the fake omega buckle

Glasshütte seem to really be pumping their Ad volume on insta. I am constantly getting served ads for their new SeaQ diver and it does seem quite a handsome watch.

Very pricey tho and tbh? If I was going to drop 10k plus on a diver? It'd have to be a Rolex.

Sure isn't he a chap of impeccable sartorial standards 😉 a look on C24 shows a slew of SeaQ available in US at a price that would make even paying Irish VAT on import worthwhile 🤔 I the discovered the SeaQ panorama date and now that's slowly becoming a "want" 🤣 maybe in green...

Mrs Banie is now, 2 weeks post her last scheduled chemo cycle (5weeks after infusion). Fngers crossed it's fully done, we'll find out on Thursday. Anyway as we've been fairly locked away over the course of her chemo to avoid infection risks.

We are heading out this evening for what is our usual pre-christmas treat. Her, the boy and I shall be heading in to the Jasmine palace buffet to gorge on Chinese, and sushi. I'll be wearing my Sinn destro and the boy will be wearing the Astro, as the dinky size of 60's watch will suit his lady hand 🤣 On a serious note, he is trying to sneak that watch off me and is constantly borrowing it! Nice to see it get the wear I think it deserves tho!

The plan for tonight is? To eat, drink and be merry...

Whilst keeping a close eye on the time 🤣

That Sinn Destro is bloody lovely, the left hand crown on your left arm sent my brain into confused spins 😂

Best of luck to the Mrs by the way 👍️

Yeah, love that Astronaut.

Just reading today there's been a limited edition re-issue with a Sellita auto movement, which just seems wrong to me.

Looks the part, though.

have you tried any of the erikas natos?

I have one on my moonswatch which might suit you if you didn't want to shell out full price for one

There are some really lovely 70's Seikos out there. Did you buy on Chrono?

Some great stuff on the last couple pages, this page especially, being that it's seikoey.

Speaking of

This one came together well, even though I had to use the dreaded dial dots. Always nice to have a seiko with perfect alignment, shame ya have to make it haha.

The second hand was a non goer so scavenged one from an old snk805 which proved to be a great solution with the splash of red matching the text.

Anyway, it's 34% lighter than a stainless willard as the whole deal is ti. Featherweight 116g incl bracelet. Wears like a dream.

Surprised!

Yea the grenade dial is a winner.

I have something specialer planned for my Tiskx to match my Tirtle.

That must be the scale your mate uses when he’s buying his stuff .My GS snowflake weighs 100grams on the braclet and thats all titanium.A steel sub is 150ish .
