·I own two vintage pieces - a Universal Geneve Polerouter and an Omega Seamaster.
The Polerouter 20365-10 (circa 1963) has a gold-capped case, a silver dial with a ribbed circular pattern, and the famous 218-9 Microtor movement. The case is in pretty good condition with some scratches that are noticeable under direct light. There are also a few chips in the gold but none are deep enough to reveal the underlying base metal. I've only had this watch for a couple of days but I'm absolutely smitten ... I can't get over how thin and elegant it is.
The Seamaster 168.024 (circa 1970) has the classic 166.010 stainless steel case but contains a 564 caliber movement usually found in Constellations. The dial was once silver but has patina-ed to a light champagne color. Overall, the piece is in excellent condition and is stunning on the beads of rice bracelet. It runs at about +10 seconds per day, which isn't bad for a 50-year old watch.

·Wearing this one today (picture taken from the WRUW thread).
Movement serial points to 1962. Ref. 6298 Cal. 550 14k gold capped American cased Seamaster.
Was a gift to my grandfather from my grandmother for his 40th birthday in 1967.
Was gifted to me by him late last year.
Full story on it here...

·I hope I'm not the only one who didn't know about this Seiko, what is the story behind it?
Found it in a 2nd hand store at the edge of Waikiki. Owner of the store said an elderly lady was cleaning house and it was in a bunch of clothing. I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it and fell immediately in love.
It came on a leather belt for skinny waists. Sadly my gut won’t let me use it as a belt buckle, so I just use it on a nato.
Below is the a cool write up about this 1950s (?) golf belt buckle and the only reference I could find.
Hope you like it.
Aloha,
