Because you've been married a long time, that's why......

 

Very true, a lucky guy

 

Heuer 7220

 

Was kidnapped by a squirrel last night...

 

A gift for the good lady, she always has wanted a micro pig just not sure this is what she had in mind

 

I bought mine this for Valentines Day. The pig, not the watch!

 

2 Reversos in 2 weeks. I lack self control. I will have to sell one eventually. But for now, I have 2 wrsists, right? =)

 

Now, that appears like heavy patina!

 

That´s the spirit!

 

Subtle, perhaps we may name him Kyle

 

Picked these up last night.


Hoping to find some long overdue time to sit back and open up MWO this weekend.

 

Hopefully will have this beast on Monday, at which point I think ill on trade it for another Omega, maybe a po or tade up to a Seamaster 300 master chronometer, or something vintage, like a 302trg...

 

Good Plan!!! Go for the SM 300 MCA.

 

Seriously tempting, but probably a bit beyond me at the mo, given my aquisistiveness over the last few months ...
Stunning watches though ... Almost like the perfect mesh of the vintage sm300 and a modern po ...

 

Arrived rather late in the evening, but the wait was worth it! many thanks @MMMD for the help!

 

I love it when they come in pairs! Both fresh arrivals of today.....
Omega 1945 WWW watch on the right, 1953 RAF pilots watch on the left.

 

OK, didn't exactly buy, but been away at our favourite Canadian watch maker for a while and so feels like a completely new set of watches:

First off, went away as a 3313B powered Speedmaster. Came back as a 3313C and is now a proper 3 level coaxial with as an added bonus hour and minute hands that match up and aren't 15 mins out as it came from Omega:



Second, a watch that was bought from an ex forum member as serviced, and so badly wasn't we wound up needing a new donor movement. The interesting patina that drove my purchase seems to come from a case that has so little water resistance Al has suggested I don't think about wearing it when it's humid. Question is, do I now hunt down a donor case - any advice? Its fingerprints on the current case, not scratches.



Next a Tudor that needed a service badly, and the repairs to a previous bodged case refinish even worse:



And finally another connie that I was worried wasn't quite right, but has had a full health check:



They all arrived from Canada in less than 18 hours ticking away merrily. Now I have the satisfaction of a display case that looks more balanced and the agony of deciding which watch to wear....

I swear I polished them five minutes before taking the photos. I have no idea how I got so much dust and fingerprints on them in the intervening period.
