··Home For Wayward WatchesOne of two '57 Constellations I have which shares my birth year. Another instance of where the watch is holding up better than the owner.

·beautiful watches gentlemen!! 👍
As for me, a new arrival. 1913 Longines for the British market. It does exceed my age by quite a bit. 😉
Sold by Longines without name on the dial. Someone just suggested I call it “little Ben” as it apparently was retailed by Dent; the maker of Big Ben and of the Standard Clock at the Royal Observatory of Greenwich.

·I was born in the early 90s so the one vintage watch that would match my age almost perfectly would be a "Bond" Seamaster 300 with the wave dial. It is on my wishlist though. Goldeneye was the first 007 film I ever watched and I really really liked it as child.
Respect for all you people who have been collecting for decades. That is really cool.

·My Grandfather's Lanco. No idea of the production date but a watchmaker once told me it dated from the 1930s. Where he got that info from I have no idea but am pretty sure it predates me.
My Smiths Astral T105 with box and signed papers from 25th April 1959, pre dating me by 5 months.
Also have a Smiths 12-15 from the late 40s/early 50s but no photo to hand of that.

Baby Ben 😉
Thank you dear gentlemen, “baby Ben” suits me too !👍
It’s a privilege when a watch is not just nice looking and functuonal, but when it also leads to learning and discoveries in the history of horology - and this one certainly delivers on that front!
