One of these, for me and my daughter:


Of course, forget about our getting in it at the same time 'cuz she's a teenager 馃檮...

Might even need to get another!

Preparing for a European cruise, want to bring the DSLR but a bit paranoid about it being nicked:
49EE06DB-FAC2-42E5-9F66-AF51D961FD21_zpsqp8gewhj.jpg

Each of the zippers can be locked down, and the material (including the straps) is build with wire to prevent cutting into the pockets. Plenty of space for other things, including a water bottle. Will give it a try next month!

Just bought this Army (ref. 3139) with chronometer movement. Needs a bit of TLC though (balance staff at least, full service, crystal, crown/case tube), so will take at least a month before it's done. Gorgeous dial and hands, though.

Seller's pics.

Just curious Adam, what's the size on that one? We have seen lots of discussion about Rolex models made just for the Cdn and UK market around WWII, which are in the range of 30-33 mm ("boy size"). This one looks bigger, but it may be the shape of the case.

And uh, DIBS! I really like that look!

Yes, it's about 31-32mm, I think. Same as a bubbleback (though not as thick). But the cushion shape gives it a larger surface area.

Nothing as fancy as what you guys buy, but my first chronograph and it's in good shape.

That's a beautiful dial and a great reference / solid movement.

There's no room for #humblebragging in Omegaforums!


Lol just kidding.

This Mido just came in. These tough little buggers (30.5mm) fascinate me!

Lotsa patina; which ain't no surprise, as there's plenty of radium on this little dial [emoji33] (565 c.p.s.)!

I nearly bought the same watch yesterday. Mido is seriously undervalued and a great way to get into an FB case. Congrats on the acquisition!

Omega Speedmaster birth year watch 145.022 with the 321 movement. Simply put, this such a cool vintage mid 60's manual wind timepiece...

Are you sure it's an .022? And are you sure it's a 321?

Because if it's both, something's wrong.
