Fancy coloured strap is actually made out of carp skin.

That's one of the smartest vintage watches you have shown us, love the two colour dial.

What counts as 'oversize'?

Gorgeous strap too.

Another Omikron today. ST96 inside, great dial with simple trick: brushed horizontal stripe making it visually playfull. Chromed 36 mm case, original crown, acrylic crystal.

This one has engraved caseback around embossed elephant which was companies logo after 60-ie. It was presented as retirement gift in 80ies in now bosnian city that was once part of the same state.

Interestingly, it was gift just 3 years before war started over here, spliting state into separate countries and leaving blood trail for generations to come and pushing whole countries that emerged in chaos of modern capitalism and globalism

So much history in just few doodles on caseback...

As this was an limited edition they placed a relief of the Venus fly trap on the crown.
(hope I never have to find a replacement crown)...

Great dial!


I have been wearing something a bit more modern today.

7t32 Seiko with blue dial.

^^^2 great watches today gents. I agree that Onyx dial is exquisite and lovely Seiko too.

Another Omikron. Safari Automatic. Again colourful dial. ETA 2789-1 inside, with both day and date Quickset,36 mm chromed case.and again elephant on caseback. It would be a great watch for election in USA

Nice Volna!

Thanks! I’ve had it sitting at the bottom of a drawer for a few years and decided to put it on a new strap after the recent post on here about collecting Russian watches

Gmorning. Darwil, Felsa 4007 with stuck date wheel at 12th. One of the joys of Vintage watches, you never know when they will malfunction.
