Stunning. Is that bracelet original to the watch? If so, that is even more rare.

An 18k Hamilton collection would be hard to surpass.

My wife's 18k T-101 says hi, although looks boring next to your Astramatic.

Agreed. Hard to say no to an 18K Ventura...

The bracelet is not original. I ordered a couple 11/16” custom leather bands from TUNS but this period correct expanding band was the best fit in my opinion.

Nice T-101 👍

My hunt continues for an 18k Hartman and a K-100.

That's a dangerous amount of bling, I'd say ;-)

Totally Graceland. A stunning piece!

Hahahaha! I'm gonna have to use that, "totally graceland". Does the matching white gold diamond one complete the package?

Absolutely 😀

In all seriousness, though: When I look at a solid gold Ventura - diamonds or not, doesn't matter - I feel transported in time and space, and for a moment, I think I'm Elvis getting a new toy. The man sure liked his watches! There must be quite a few articles floating about (with the Hamilton Ventura, Lord Elgin Direct Reading, some Omega love as well). IIRC he also gifted a lot of watches to close friends.

One more for the 18K club, K-150.

Kind of an oddball with the stainless steel back and this is the only one I recall seeing with the full stamping still intact.

His and hers, solid 14k white gold Sir Echo models. Got the lady version for my wife recently - it’s a Sherwood A variant with a walnut wooden dial.

Loving this thread. Two recent pick ups. Pacermatic (Pacer A) and a "custom" GE Breakthru 60 14K award watch. Approximately 800 and 400 made respectively. Not everyone's taste but these started my love of vintage 😁

Another recent acquisition - a mid-50s Stormking II in 14k yellow gold. Regretted selling one to a fellow OF member a little while ago and was lucky to find another in such great condition.

Yeah you did. I can understand your regret, this is gorgeous and lives next to my accumatic I got at a local antique center.

I have two so far. A few times I thought of letting them go to raise funds for other incomers, but she stopped me doing so. I am glad she did.

Chrono H-31 with 80 hr power reserve, the most accurate auto (or mechanical) timepiece I ever had. It was spot on a few weeks ago during my brutal accuracy test on the wrist continuously for 3 days:



And his little cousin Khaki Field Mechanical Date H-50 which is also very accurate and fun to wear:
