Doesn’t need to be luxury to be loved! I think this ones a beauty!

 

My 2nd Tudor. What an amazing piece.

 

An early Seiko Weekdater. This watch is truly much more than the sum of its parts. Lovely case, hidden crown, italicized Seikomatic, and the unique day placement - all combined with the restrained elegance that the Japanese do so well.

 

I love the name “Weekdater”. Nerdy and refined at the same time.

Congratulations, it's very beautiful

 

Got this last week from another OF member. I call this a pre-purchase because I bought it before it was posted, you wonder how??

Well, that is a long story and I am not telling. This is my first Enicar, I just like the simpleness of this vintage item, reminds me of times when things were not complicated. I love this one and this is not a flipper but a keeper for me. Thanks, dougiedude.

 

Darn, that is fantastic! Has anyone dibsed it?
Dibs! (But not too soon as I’m way dibsed out!).

 

and DIBS.

 

Can’t wait for this little one to arrive....

 

My latest arrival Apollo 17 45th - Can’t wait to get it sized.

 

I had always wanted a pocket watch, even before I wanted any swiss watch. I bought an Illinois 12S Art Deco Pocket watch with sunburst dial and in excellent running condition per seller from eBay. I am excited and cant wait for it to get delivered.

 

Loving this thing

 

When I see things like this I want a pocket watch! It needs to be a "MURICAN!" pocket watch. Damn nice and congrats!

 

Wow, thanks.. I am excited and your approval means a lot

 

what a beauty?!

 

My newest (and least expensive ever, I believe) arrival... the Timex Marlin re-issue. Much smaller (34mm) than I’d normally go for, but I think it’s cool that Timex is getting back into mechanical watches and I wanted to experience one in the metal.

TLDR - nice quality for the price, but as @Larry S intimated in his post, the strap is, well... not good. Bonus points awarded for drilled lugs, though

 

I have no idea how or where to buy these things without getting my pocket picked.

 

A couple folks yes, but your dibs is duly noted as well. And don't worry, this one isn't leaving my collection for a long time.

 

Well with the slight title change I suppose I can put this here. New arrival, but not a purchase. This one is a gift from my wonderful girl friend. Technically a Chistmas/Hanukkah gift, but was delayed for a few reasons. The wait was definitely worth it. Great size, beautiful dial and a joy on the wrist.


She told me it was ordered over the holidays and reached out to the wonderful folks at Stowa and switched it to a manual wind vs auto(I’ve become a sucker for manuals since my Nomos club). And the finishing doesn’t disappoint
