Been wearing the Heuer 200 Metres professional automatic for the last few days.. had forgotten how much I liked and why I bought it from Bruce's Vintage Watches. iPhone 7 plus picture. I can see that the band needs a cleaning!

Thanks Jones! I love it my Planet Ocean. It does have a bit of patina, one might say.

My current humble watch collection includes my now-vintage Hamilton from junior high school (early 70’s), a nice new (this past Christmas) Hamilton Field Mechanical, a couple old Heuers from the ‘80’s, a drawer full of old but kinda cool Victorinox Swiss Army watches, and a few other funky Bulova Accutrons and Seikos. I bought a new Rolex Submariner way back in the mid-eighties but sold it (long story...). I am now completely infatuated with Speedmasters. Researching Speedies lead me to this fine forum! So much knowledge here - it’s really amazing...

I couldn’t agree more....

Look closer 😁

I give up! What’d I miss? The three letter word SUB refers to what, exactly?

I was making fun. The minute hand overlaps the GMT hand, hence the SUBmariner look.

I was going for this Omega NATO look


without spending over $200, so I bought this $12 from Borealis. Nice strap but maybe the grey is a bit too dark compared to the Omega.

Continuing on a theme ...

Wore the watch but didn't participate in Speedy Tuesday photographic festivities so we're having Speedy Wednesday.

Now for something completely different. 🙄



Grandfather’s Waltham that he wore to war in 1917, along with an early twenties Omega I picked up on eBay last year.

Maybe I will actually wear both of them today - they are so light and small.

Who needs some fancy GMT? I got it covered. 😀

Quick update: I picked one to wear today. I do have a special place in my heart for vintage enamel dialed wrist watches.
Amazing how similar they look. Great pieces, thanks for sharing!

Vague, to say the least!
