Neat little Zodiac

 

Seamaster 168.022 cal 563. I'm a sucker for orange second hands.

 

Picked up a nice Longines Flagship and Delma chronograph at a regional event plus a Constellation needing some TLC.

 

Nice sharp flagship relief! What's the movement within?

 

Thanks! - cal 340

 

16750!

 

I just love the applied dial and the patina-goldenish markers! And the whole watch is in a great condition too!

 

I really like this one.

Was it sold as shown, or is this a display sample to show off the movement?

 

Something from the short list arrived today... in this.

 

This little piece of 40's loveliness:

There, I've gone and jinxed it. Couldn't help myself, had to share it!

If anyone have a spare screw for the movement (on top of the serial no), I'd happily take it

 

Received this Saturday and should have a Tissot visodate by the end of the week hopefully.

 

Just arrived - a nice unpolished RG 291, with what appears to be the original gold plated springbars!

Voila... the G383 "Poker Chip." Will give it its own thread one day.

 

That is nice

Love the "SWITZERLAND" at the bottom!

 

Love this! Such a strange yet beautiful dial.

 

Purchased yesterday. It's not a watch but it's for one of my watches (my beloved Seiko 6309-7049 that I purchased new almost 30 years ago). I purchased a new Seiko DAL1BP rubber strap for my 6309 from seiyajapan.com.

After fairly extensive research, I learned that the original strap (GL831) that came with my 6309-7049 is no longer produced...and that buying a NOS (rare and expensive) or lightly used one can have its risks due to the strap failing as a result of drying out because of its age. Since I plan to actually use the strap on my 6309-7049, I decided to go with the currently produced Seiko DAL1BP...I learned that's what most of the 6309 freaks do so that sounds good to me...since I'm sort of a 6309 freak myself.

Regardless, I'm patiently waiting for the DAL1BP's arrival and look forward to installing it on my 6309-7049.

NOTE: The original GL831 that came on my 6309-7049 cracked within 2-3 years of ownership...I have no idea where it is...probably at the bottom of the Indian Ocean or something since I had a habit of "float testing" busted stuff on cruise (deployment) while on active duty in the Navy.

The Seiko DAL1BP strap that was ordered yesterday...$38 shipped...

 

Got a little carried away and picked up a beautiful Skyfall Aqua Terra today...Should be here thursday, but I'll be away. Obligatory 'new to me' pics due next week.

 

Last set of tools and straps - the store selling the Eulits does have international postage at $4AUD a piece, which is a real bargain if you're a small/mid size watch person. Won't be touching anything else now until I can establish my budget again
