Three girls in the house and each of them collect mens watches, usually mine 🙁

I wonder who influenced them into doing that....

I have a couple of men's watches (Bulova Astronaut, Rotary L189 chronograph, Rolex Cellini) but mostly I collect women's watches that are miniature versions of men's watches (SM 120 566.0007, ladies C-case Constellation, ladies Seawolf, Hamilton 986A). I tend to like watches in the 28-34mm range so even vintage Omegas are a bit big most of the time.
Pictures?

My wife says she’s not a collector. She wears a midsize Rolex most of the time. After buying a $5.00 box of watch parts I found this bunch. She wants me to fix the Hamilton and the Vanburen.

This one may not be in the best condition but the model - SEAMASTER COSMIC ref.566018 -seems to fit the bill what do you think ? I find it pretty cool.

Nice! I'll see if the seller relists. Frankly, I've been in single minded pursuit of a Doxa Sub 200 Coralline, and I'm not paying the $6k some idiot wants for one on C24

If you’re looking for lady size (36mm) they’ve gone up a lot but 6k is insane— about 10 times what they cost on auction!

Edit/ add: strange the watch is suddenly unavailable, I had not noticed the listing ending so soon..... 😕 could it be a lurker happened to like it? Hmmmmm.....

Seriously. But I've only seen a black dial in the last couple months (aside from the idiot). I'm ok being patient, they're just thin on the ground

You’ll find it, I’ve seen a number of the Coraline ones over the past couple of years.

My wife agreed to wear one of my Speedies to see First Man, her feedback was “it’s very heavy” and she removed it as soon as we got home. So my wife will definitely not meet this criteria anytime soon.


I got my daughter a quartz Chrono from a vintage shop some time ago, she wears it off an on but seems she is following her mother and won’t be a watch collector anytime soon either... not for lack of me trying.
