That is a lovely, lovely piece.

Early 70s Franken...

Hong Kong skeleton movement runs like a champ for its age and pedigree, and the wacky plastic 'Elvis' case, well, it's just wacky...

I like it more then I probably should.

Seiko 5Y30 7000 RO

From 1989 (like me!). A hand me down from my father's collection.

1965 Smiths Astral

Omega De Ville from 1968

I dont think I have posed in this part of the forum before but hopefully I can put a few watches up here.

Vintage watches were for a long time my go to and I spent a lot of time looking for vintage watches and paying out to get them restored. I hated to see them go to waste and loved the idea of giving them new life. I sold most of them over the years I think personally I found it hard to live with some of them having engravings on the back it almost seemed like I was taking someone elses history.

Anyway, here are a few of mine.



IWC Cal 89

Got it serviced a few years ago, pretty much untouched dial and case, lovely size still very wearable and its on a CW strap. Not sure they still sell these straps I bought it quite a few years ago.

c.1971 Tissot Navigator with Lemania 1277 (aka Tissot 872 or Omega 860) movement. It's the moowatch movement minus the 12 hour register.

MkII Speedmaster from 1969
