Looking forward to this arriving! Steel & Sedna gold 300. Blingy for a sports watch, but if I hate it I'll sell it.

Very happy with my first 105.012...
Just landed, CB case has suffered (sides...😲) but unpolished.... So... It compensates...😁
I just have to make replace the service pusher by the original one a nice OF member sold to me 👍👍👍...
This dial is really really fascinating...
I let you have a look!
Next pics in WRUW !...

I bought these today, lots of dross but some very good.
Considering the cost, about $3.50 for the lot, I can see a good return both in collecting satisfaction but also economically as several are very collectible brands.



Some I will service, Caravelle 21 j auto, Enicar ultrasonic auto, Citizen auto Tiger XXX 21 j, Hafis, Samar, Regent and Unicorn all working well but definatly need some TLC.

Received this one last week. Have actually owned the very same watch before… Now off to the watchmaker to get a new crown and gaskets.

A little $30 watch to add to the random ladies watches I’ll eventually give to my daughter one day.

Picked up the mesh bracelet (just arrived) to go with my Chronostop. I figured I'm already into the Chronostop for more than it's worth, might as well go all in and have the bracelet too.


(need better spring bars for the length adjustment)

For about a year I have had my eyes firmly fixed on a Glashütte Original SeaQ. First I was in love with the blue but then this spring, the reed green SeaQ was announced. After 3-4 trips to the AD trying it on, going home thinking about it, trying it on again, going home thinking... finally it happened.

So... yes, it “only” has 40 hours of power reserve, and yes, you can’t see the decorated movement but who cares 😁 This watch is absolutely unbelievably good. I am properly, old fashionly in love 🥰🥰

top left lug might be slightly bent, 0.2mm wider on the top lugs than bottom. Not the end of the world, I’ll just use a slightly beefier strap and spring bar.

I love these 165.041s, IMHO not only do they look larger on the wrist than you’d expect from the dimensions but they have a very contemporary appearance despite being fifty years old.

Finally managed to find some time to take some photos of this recent arrival of the Gallet Multichron 12 'Jim Clark' from fellow OFer @pdxleaf. Over the moon with this one!

My first PR.... Needs to go to the spa later this week, for a movement servicing and installation of an original plexi 😀

Never owned an Eterna before but this was reasonably priced (I think) and looked okay (I think) so I took the plunge.

This is the seller’s photo so I’m waiting for it to arrive to see whether it’s good or if it will trigger a bout of ‘buyer’s remorse’.
