I've recently inherited a few vintage watches - they were sitting in a safe that had been unopened for at least three decades. One of them is pictured on the left, a Seamaster Calendar. As my old mobile pic doesn't do justice to the watch, I've found the exact same model advertised. Unfortunately my watch stops at exactly 10:30pm every night, in the morning manually assist it to change date to next day. It's accurate up to 10:20 pm. My question : I'm happy enough to wear it and know its "disability", but is it worth having it repaired.
There are a fair few Aussies around this place, I am sure someone will come and suggest a good watchmaker soon Would love to see a better photo of the watch, it looks like it is in pretty good shape!
Just wondering whether pictures in this forum are from a mobile or more professional ones, I have an old HTC that doesn't seem to focus.
Not wanting to repeat what my dad with his collection, am passing these on to my 3 kids, the other two are a Rolex Speedking winder and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Automatic, both fairly accurate. Fair enough division? would welcome comments. Never mind the straps, they're crappy.
Very nice pieces! From that picture all look in honest and original condition...not easy to find nowadays.
When I see them, they're all over the place. The eldest runs a successful (modestly global) business and is up for a challenge, why I thought passing on the Omega and its problem to him, he did mention he'd want a dressy watch - really think this could be spruced up. The girl gets the Speedking. The Oyster has some rust on the face rim, but just tentatively using a my thumbnail, looks like it comes off. Another question : it looks like women are starting to wear men's watches - true or false? Don't really want a lack of lady's watch hamper fair division. Would love to see them use these pieces in memory of their grandad.
