Secondhand. Decided the Tudor rose and curved script was more attractive than new in house movement... 😵‍💫

Here's a period advertisement:

I've seen a couple of these special boxes in eBay in the past. Now, I need to pay attention.

Another "project watch". Sterile dial Excelsior Park mid 1940s EP4.
A pile of TLC and it might turn out great?

OK. I am now out for service and following your lead. I went for an Ostrich leg band from Combat. Hopefully in about 3 months I can show it off. 👍

Bought last week but finally arrived in my hands.

Ref 149.0062

This has been on my wish list for a while, so glad I have finally got myself one! Finally a part of the cool kids club with this pie pan, now I just need my speedy to be a full fledged member.

Always thought a Bundeswehr should be the first Heuer I bought but earlier today I got this one delivered by Fed Ex:

A NOS Heuer Autavia 1163 V from 1972, it is a fullset as shown below:

Wish I bought a carton of Viceroy in the 70's, sent in the end flap an $88 and got a 1163 V in return, instead I had to pay far more for it now 😁

But think of what you saved on surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for lung cancer. You should buy another watch!

Hello! I've just ordered a Vostok Amphibia watch, found them here: https://vostokamphibia.com And they are soon to come. My friend has been using this watch for a long time, and I like them a lot too. I always wore a Casio G-Shock, and now decided to try a Vostok watch. I really like the design of this watch, a real men's look. My friend has been using them for so long, so I'm not worried about their reliability. Good luck to all!
