Nice looking watch(es) and I agree about the change from dress watches, which I still wear when I actually go into work.

Having had some reservations about the sizes of Seiko diver watches I’ve now acquired three.

I have found the new style silicon/polyurethane watch straps surprisingly light and comfortable.

 

yeah... its not a watch... its a Seth Thomas regulator #17 from about 120 years ago.

I was cleaning out my parents house and my brothers didn't want it..... go figure!

fuggin thing is solid oak and weighs a ton! I had to put a 4" screw into the wall to hang it... making sure I hit wood!

I think the house is tilting slightly to the north west now...

 

Love it but my wife would consign it to the man cave.

 

My wife long ago realized that its not punishment to send me out to a cave filled with tools and motorcycles...

Besides, some of the clocks are hers!

 

Great Clock!
But I absolutely admire your pocket watch presentation!

 

that was a birthday gift from Mrs. Fritz... she had a student cabinet maker turn it out in solid cherry...

than all I had to do was be sure it was full!

 

OK.....don't laugh, just arrived today, really surprised me.
It shows way above it's weight class.

 

Nice numerals, but the 12 looks poorly centred, to me. Would drive me nuts.

 

Omega Memomatic with 618 end pieces and a messed up bracelet. This Memo would qualify for the $500 and under club. Case is way over polished and will need to be restored. I think when it is done it will be a solid watch.

 

I've been looking for a couple or three Grey pebble grain bands.
I replaced the worn undersized grey pebble grain band of my Ingraham Tower with a black pebble grain because I couldn't find a grey one.
A grey band would also look mighty nice on my older art deco styled Pobeda watches.

 

On the way to me.
Never seen before a so cassed Valjoux 7734 watch.

I think that's an optical illusion caused by the shape (font?) chosen for the numbers.

 

Nice, the square lume boxes are interesting.

 

this is new to me and from 1992

 

The smoke tube is not mine..

 

Like the open 8

 

Arrived this morning

 

Me too....look at the front side of the 1and the back side of the 2, they appear centered. Weird font though, I'll agree with that.
I do like the watch very nice daily driver.

Nice!

I love the look of that dial and the MST movement.

Looks like maybe a cal. 297 or 371 depending on size...?

 

I’m pretty new to this amazing watch passion.
My wife called it already a sickness but in the meantime she’s wearing one of my watch
Saturanday I purchased this completely coherent and serviced admiralty from a friend.
