First arrival of 2015.... 2577, cal. 354. I love waffles, me.

 

I took a jump........again.
I hope these are as true as they looked to me. It will be a week or two before I see them in person.

 

Your killing me here.........Great watch!

 

This Longines just arrived.

That looks wonderful, I think I should stay offscreen for a while or I will risk feeling the wraith of my wife....

 

Well the Zenith came in on Saturday; here's a better shot of the dial. It seems to be ticking right along. Not bad for 1961,

 

Well not exactly bought today but picked up from my Christmas holiday in Canada and taken straight to my retired watchmaker who tells me it looks to have been recently serviced, is running excellently and doesn't require anything doing to it (currently running -7 secs a day)........happy days!

It's a 1952 Cal 354 'Jumbo' bumper and I believe this to be an original dial with correct fonts for that time, but please comment if you think differently!!

 

Do I spot a humanised lug ?

 

Just back from her first service in 60 years; as in first service, ever.

 

My late Christmas present to myself. Don't know why but I have had an uncontrollable urge to purchase a silver pocket watch for the last week and think that this one should clean up OK. Probably won't see for about ten days.

 

Mmm, looking at me, only just human..

 

A good thing Santa might be resting so he might overlook what a bad boy I have been !
My first Mark Speedmaster. Cal 861 mk II to be precise.
I must admit I have not done my homework too well before making a freak bid on this, but could not see too much wrong with it? Some wear but I hope it may come out rather nice with a proper clean and service (and realigning the tachy scale).
BTW I have a grace period on this purchase so if anyone sees something wrong please do let me know!

 

Looks like one of Alan Pardew's new fan club to me.
