Very affordable and decently made leather watch roll, custom-made from Etsy. Quite happy with it, esp the slightly distressed leather look

 

This was so cheap I couldn't pass it up, also completely immaculate and untouched. The raised indices are beautiful in the flesh.
a little bit of a shame about the corrosion on the hands lume loss and a bit of radium burn ... but hey, it is 50 or more years old...

now I just need a new strap as the one that came with it (possibly original) is cracked and if I use it It will fall apart.

 

Very nice dial @laughing_cavlier !

 

I'm a little hesitant to put the bracelet back on this as I wouldn't want to damage the lugs. I'm thinking, only thinking, about selling the bracelet.

 

Bet you get a few people thinking of Sending you a PM.

 

I'm always a little embarrassed to post here. This is a tough crowd to follow:

These just in, fresh from the USPS:


The Seiko will be a new daily beater and the Wittnauer is a project watch.

I've recently fallen under the Longines spell; this is my first:


I'm mystified why I just had to have this Chronostop but I just had to have it.

 

Beautiful, I have one of these and I must say it is one of my favourite chronographs.

 

Great score @laughing_cavlier but IMHO radium burn is a great character addition, but again that's just me. Enjoy

 

A risk ? with an image like this yes but that's what life is all about. Not to many bawbees involved so worth a punt imho
Manual wind from the fifties ?

 

Thanks @1685 To be honest you can't see the radium burn in normal conditions, only on the photos. It really doesn't bother me, was just pointing it out , I am enjoying it as I type

 

Trying out some new straps on some old watches...

 

Nothing


@Northernman would not part with anything just teased me....

 

Sorry can't like this post at all, how could he?

 

This strap for my Seiko Prospex (Blue Monster

 

A new watch box dating from around 1890.........

 

But it's empty

 

I had to sell the watches to afford to buy it

 

Condition....
That one must have been kept a safe for most its life. Do you know it's history?
Congrats

 

Makes me wanna dynamite the door and ride off with the contents in a stagecoach
Seriously though that is c-o-o-l!
