My first decent watch, purchased new while in a layover on Singapore back in 1992. For years, I kicked myself for getting a quartz watch and not an automatic, but I quite like it now.

That's cool, interestingly enough I have a similar story, I also bought a Tag 200m professional chrono, quartz (back then I didn't know the difference🙄) during a layover in Singapore but in '94. It was also my first decent watch and it was 22 years before I brought another, and it's a keeper. Its at a watchmaker for a battery change, I'll post when I get it back.

Inspired by @Walrus's nice pickup yesterday, enjoying the King Seiko 5626-7041 - keeping PERFECT time after winding and setting 24 hours ago.

The iconic Deep Blue by Favre-Leuba From 1965 - Calibre FL1152. What’s your favorite attribute? Sector dial, arrow hands, round date between 4 & 5, bakelite bezel, grey dial with applied logo, 38mm size? All the great vintage cue’s wrapped-up in one killer piece!

It's a MuDu Monday where I am diving into straightening up a cluttered shed that we only installed 45 days ago.

My first vintage watch, the text and markers have a more vivid color, my iPhone kind of muted the colors.

Very cool watch…and welcome to the forum…..

My pal has the same Turn-o.

Inherited from his Grandfather, serviced by my watchmakers in '08 and '17. Not sure if I've seen another similar 'til now.

I made this in 10 minutes last summer while the original bracelet was in the shop for an extra link. I never wore it but will have it in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

Mine is a 1960 built ref.1625

Different hands and indices to your friend's watch.

I've owned this for about 5 years now.
