Nice watch 馃榾

Hi everyone, Clement writing, I am finally joining this community. Thanks MaiLollo for the introduction.
Being newbie here, I'll show some pieces of my personal collection before hitting the sales section.

BTW, I'll show another nice Japanese connie in the next days.

Good to see you here Clement.
Thanks for the 168.0065. BTW I found the links locally. Hope to see you post often & enjoy the forum. Lots of great guys here w/ tons of knowledge.

Received a bog standard Orient tri star "crystal" just yesterday. No images to post yet.
The watch is a beauty and nicely designed and built. Dead on timing and a very well designed movement from all sources I've found.
If I'm correct these use a ball bearing system for smooth easy self winding with little arm movement.

Apparently Seiko owns Orient now and the family resemblance to older Seiko and Citizen watches is obvious.

Very reasonably priced. Unexpected value for the money.

Bought my second pocket watch today off of eBay for $43.73 馃榾.
The first one that I bought ( for $125 ) is so shiny and keeping time so well that I am doubting if thats a fake .
Here are the sellers pictures of my second pocket watch 馃榾.

Awaiting the arrival of two watches from the (now defunct) MSR group:

1) Vulcain Cricket, working but missing pusher, not too hard to remedy I hope. Cal MSR S2 (Vulcain 120). Late 60s/ 70s






2) Revue Thommen "Revue-Sport 50s" re-issue, with cal. MSR X1 (Revue GT82). From the 90s.

I seem to be hoarding small 40s watches these days. An IWC last week and from a slightly lesser brand this week. This Certina in untouched condition just need a new crystal

Wow I love this one. Used to have a very similar Longines "sei tacche" with a near identical dial. I seem to say this a lot, but I regret selling that one!
