·Now that’s an interesting question!! My oldest watch is an 18k small pocket watch - Omega of course. Original box and the watch dates to the 1910s. Running perfectly 😀
That, my friend, is a beautiful watch! Makes me want to start looking for one exactly like it.

·Lots of neat watches. Mine is a 1902 Rockford Model 10. The dial and crystal need some love but otherwise in pretty good shape. It runs but needs a service.
The story behind it is that a gentleman traded it to my grandfather in exchange for gasoline during the Great Depression because he didn't have any money. So, it's been in the family for about 90 years.

Great story behind that watch. What a beautiful movement too

Watches aren't that important these days I guess. But this watch keeps time and keeps its stories too.

·Here’s mine, it’s also my newest acquisition.
1945 30T2 SC
P.S I believe those hands are incorrect for this model though what do you think?

IMO there are several options of hands for early cal. 30 mm watches in combination with this kind of dial:
leaf hands
pontife hands
plume (=feather) hands
You have plume hands and the correct lenght makes me think they are correct.

I would expect to see the second hand to be in line with the second track on this dial... I have also never seen this particular case ref 2324 with plume hands, only leaf hands, although I am sure I have not seen everything. That said, every one I have seen (all with leaf hands) have a second hand in line with the second track. So I am sure at the very least that is incorrect.
