Adam (Adam78) and I got together last week at a local Scottish pub for some good food, some camaraderie and some watch ogling, not necessarily in that order! Thought I'd share some of the photos with the forum as there were some very nice watches in attendance.

Adam was wearing his new Nomos Ahoi Atlantik Datum, with the in-house Zeta caliber...


Pictures do not do this watch justice, the movement on this is outstanding!


Adam also brought some spectacular pieces...

Omega Ranchero Ref. 2990-1 Cal. 267


A beautiful Omega TDMP Ref. 2606-4 Cal. 381

The gold cap still overlaps the inside of the lugs!!!



Rolex Bombé Ref. 6018 Cal. NA 630 24 jewels (rare gilt finish movement) 14K, circa 1952





Rolex Ref. 6085 14K with black dial



Tudor Submariner ref. 7016/0 circa 1968



Longines Ref. 7133-2, cal. 12.68 Z


I WILL own this soon...right Adam. I had it on my wrist and did not want to take it off.




Tissot Seastar, circa 1966



This is one of those watches that needs to be seen in the mettle, its just stunning!


Gotham Gothameter (Valjoux 72)



Gruen Pan American Navigator, circa 1945




Omega Seamaster Ref. 2577-1 Cal. 351


Omega Ref. 2338-2 Cal. 30 T2


Omega Ref. 2400-4 Cal. 30 T2 Suveran



Omega Ref. 2622-2 Cal. 265


Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox Ref. 3151 Cal. 489 (first generation) circa 1951



First time seeing one of these in the flesh, very cool watch. And the alarm is much louder than I thought it would be, especially when set flat on the table. Think I need to own one of these at some point!


Benrus Sky Chief

This was a personal request...I'd seen this before but asked Adam to bring it again. I cant get enough of this, love it.


Hamilton Otis reverso 1941






Rolex bubbleback Ref. 2764 with mirror track dial circa 1936



Rolex Oyster Ref. 6480 with chevron dial, circa 1958



And I did not come empty handed...had some of my most recent purchases along with a couple of old favorites...

Omega Seamaster Ref. 2767 Cal. 354 Black Waffle, circa 1955 on a new lizard strap


Eterna-Matic Cal. 1249T, circa 1950


Omega Seamaster Day-Date (Sparkle Dial) Ref. 168.032 Cal. 752, circa 1968



Longines All Guard Automatic Ref. 9006 Cal. 19AS, circa 1958


Adam tried this one on...


Omega Seamaster Automatic Black Guilt Dial Ref. 2635 Cal. 354, circa 1951


Omega Constellation Ref. 168.005 Cal. 561, circa 1964



Universal Geneve Polerouter Automatic Cal. 138SS Bumper, circa 1956



Omega Seamaster Automatic Linen Dial Ref. 14763 Cal. 562, circa 1961




And on my wrist I had my
Sinn 356 Flieger II Cal. 7750



Hope you enjoyed! And cheers from both Adam and I...

 

very nice, guys.

 

I'm having a hard time digesting that this amazing set of vintage watches involved only a two person GTG! Fantastic pictures.

 

First time I've ever found myself wishing I could like individual photos....

 

A very nice assortment of vintage timepieces.

 

Outstanding collections and photos!

Vintage aside (and there many lovely vintage watches there), this thread has got me thinking Nomos again. A lotta watch for the money!

 

Thankyou

That is all.

 

Stunning collection........the place also had perfect lighting for taking picture. Kudos.
As much fun as discussion in our forum, it is a GTG like this that will make us appreciate our hobby even more.

 

2 Guys, a pub and an incredible collection of horological delights. I thought there must have been 20 or 30 WIS's there.

Hijak, my pick, that lovely Sinn of yours... Yep, I'd be happy with that. Simply beautiful.

But then I do question why I always find myself drawn to Nomos.. Something about that styling. Perhaps it highlights the new age man in me, or is that simply wishful thinking... .. Regardless, they always strike my desire..

 

About once a week or so I'll garner a "nice watch" comment from a stranger as I casually look down and notice his dreadful Michael Kors timepiece. It must be nice to sit down with a fellow enthusiast who truly understands and appreciates what a "nice watch" really means. Great pictures and yeah, great watches. I'll be looking through these pictures a few times. Thanks for sharing.

 

great stuff, really liked tge Gotham and tge Gruen

 

Thanks Adam...the window seat was a key factor in how the pictures came out. A little natural daylight and my little point and shoot will do wonders!
I am very grateful to you Adam as I have learned much from you. I appreciate, as I'm sure others here do, you're excellent eye for vintage time pieces!

 

Thanks Yande, It was fun to get to see so many fine watches at one time...my only regret was that we didn't take a group shot of the whole bunch, next time I guess.

Again thanks...that Sinn was purchased from Al of Archer watches after a full service by him. I have it on my wrist as I type this and just love it, such nice detail and it keeps incredible time. I also have to comment on Adams Nomos...once again, pictures just don't do this piece justice! The camera can not capture the detail of the dial or the beauty of that in-house movement, it needs to be seen in person to truly appreciate its significance. Some of you are considering a Nomos, go look at one in the flesh and you will not be disappointed (or leave the store without one ).

 

One of these days Steve (Cicindela) will come down from Minnesota and join us with some of his incredible watches...wouldn't that be crazy!

 

I'm traveling to Germany next year and you bet I'm going to visit a watch store!

 

Nice post!
