These black waffle constellations have proved super hard to track down for me. Especially with a decent dial - so many redials. This one just came in the mail.

Nice! I have seen simular boxes that contained movement training kits馃憤

Wow that crown is almost perfect. Beautiful watch!

My first 60's chronograph. Something tells me it won't be my last.


These Clebar are quite nice, and still somewhat under the radar. @watchdaddy1 also has a knack of turning them up.

I've never had one of these before... and I've been thinking all the way home that I overpaid for it. Taken these few photos, I've decided that no, I haven't. I'm really quite happy with everything about this ...

Indeed. In fact, it was his collection of Clebars that finally pushed me over the edge to look for one.

I finally snagged one that I've been after for a while...if you're a lover of vintage chronographs and haven't looked into Movado, do yourself a favor and start reading! Fascinating brand that unfortunately lost it's way in Quartz Crisis (but produced extremely high quality watches up until then).
Nice looking watch. Is that a valjoux 72 movement?

insomnia + long week at work + ebay =



a cheapish, but frozen 166.010 : seller says honestly it doesn't work; something may be wrong in the date mechanism?. I wanted a seamaster chronometer for some years, somehow I never found the right one at the right price. I hope this will turn OK in the end, I should have it in a week.

(and now I will have to find a signed buckle or a BoR to go with it...)

Well I鈥檓 not the greatest fan of quartz watches but couldn鈥檛 resist this one . Not because of its price , less than 拢750 , not because it鈥檚 an Omega Seamaster, not because it鈥檚 been serviced in the last 6 months nor it鈥檚 box and papers or it鈥檚 great 835 braclet but because it鈥檚 one of the original JB SM鈥檚, fab blue dial, great lume, hands , thin and a bit of cinema and watch history!

This just in today, from a farmhouse near Holbeton, though not from a farmer. 馃槈
