1948, the year my Dad joined the railroad and bought one of these....

 

Moved to the black strap. I have the orange, black and stainless straps. It's like having three different watches

The OB changes my straps, but it might be time for me to buy a tool and do it myself.

 

Lovely Melbourne

 

Thanks. Valjoux 22 in a 36mm, 18k rose gold case. I don't know the exact year but would say it's from the 40's.

 

Wrong date, Right watch!

 

Seiko Landmaster mk1 from 1993 today

Back to this Eterna

 

Finally, some speedy on Tuesday

 

Speedy Tuesday:

 

Omega 2791

 

Limited AP Royal Oak Pictet&Cie

 

While the Speedmaster is serviced, again my Nivada Grenchen 'Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver'...but still not micro-wave!

 

Wauw what a beauty! As a slight train/railroad nerd I throughly enjoy railroad watches. We should have a railroad thread where we can discuss favourite locomotives etc

 

I didn't see that coming. You probably attend every gathering they have but are just too embarrassed to admit it Looks great though!!

 

That's fighting talk!!!


In other news, today I'm wearing a LeCoultre bumper automatic, enjoying the snowy landscape which is, somewhat uncharacteristically, gracing our country this early November.

 

Just arrived in Amsterdam for a session with marketeers to write "Walt Disney stories"

 

I did my civic duty! And got a nice reminder that Quartz watches exist for these situations; when you wake up extra early to vote before work and are too lazy to wind/set a mechanical watch.
