·2493-6 from around 1950. This is a so-called jumbo, approx 36.3 mm x 46.5 mm. First foray outside of Speedmasters for me. Lightweight in comparison but not far sizewise from a lug to lug standpoint

·I had to use my time and ressouces wisely, so I just bought a Constellation Ref.168017 for the modest sum of 5 toilet Rolls. Here next to his brother.

·Finally arrived. Movado Datron HS360 18K. Full disclosure, I'd originally planned to sell the bracelet as it would have recouped the entire price of the watch. But even though it's too bling for me, think it may be original and would feel feel bad consigning it to scrap.

·Hello,
I’ll respond here at the risk of getting criticized over the wrong location. If I’ve gotten the wrong tread I apologize.
This could start off with ‘What are you drinking today,’ which for me, at the moment, would be a very nice Pinot Noir from Washington. ((Oregon’s are usually better.) I live in Seattle) )) So, after my third glass here it is.
I was advised to not purchase this item. I did anyway. I love the silver and gold and can live with a little polish. This will be left to my grandson who is currently four years old and is very excited about getting my watches, though he doesn’t associate that with me being dead. I’ll be dead, so what do I care, AS long as I love the watch, which I do. I have about thirty watches and this one feels perfect - while wearing, when looking at it. On my wrist it feels l absolutely perfect.
So, I guess my point is maybe listen to Desmond (check OF on Constellations). Times change and those influencing your opinion now may not direct you to what you are interested in. What do you like. If it isn’t the perfect item that is really ok. Use the wonderful OF to help you decide if the item is what you desire.
Feel free to flame me.

As long as you didn't decide to purchase because of your 3rd glass of wine, I think you're ok! Buy It Now can be a dangerous thing late in the night on Ebay.

·Got this Eterna tre tacche recently, marked ”Malmsjö” on the dial which was a swedish retailer and marked ”import” on the bottom instead of swiss.
32.5mm excluding crown which is perfectly wearable!

··Sunburst dial fanJust taken a gamble on eBay on this 1970 6602-8050. Possibly going a little stir crazy self-distancing (not self-isolating) here in London.

·While I am generally of the opinion that watches should be round I found this one pretty hard to resist. I love the Deco styling and the number orientation being designed to go opposite the case. The price for a ‘serviced’ watch closed the deal. Plus, it’s my birth year -1951.
Everyone stay safe during this virus business. We don’t want the kids to get our watches any sooner than necessary. 😀

·This one will be my new chronograph, a somewhat different replacement for my Speedie which is about to be put up for sale. A much heavier and sturdier watch, bigger, thicker and with some battle scars. Actually I am buying it back, has been gone for about a years time. With 200m wr it’s rough and tough and I love it!

·Purchased a bit over a month ago, my new to me (and virtually unworn) Constellation 168.017 gold cap over stainless steel. I posted the same pics in another thread, but wanted to share here as well!
Just back from the spa, where she received a full service, with the only replacement parts being a new case back gasket and mainspring. All other parts, are as found. My watchmaker is confident that he was the first to open her up and certainly the first to service.
Simply put, she is a spectacular example, and just about perfect, I have a new strap on the way to preserve the original, so soon she will be seeing action in WRUW.
