Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)
I know that a lot of (most) watches look silly if worn on a nato strap, but I really like this combination.

Thanks to the fixed bars I haven't got a lot of choice.

Today is my 1972 Seiko 6309-7040 "turtle" diver...

Picture from today, although the minute hand is obscuring the day/date window.

Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)
I've been too lazy to take new pics, and I thought it would be too boring for everyone to see the old photos again.
I've mainly been wearing the Omega Geneve with the white strap, the squiggle lugs Bulova, and one of my Longines.

Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)
OK, I finally took a fresh pic of the squiggle-lugged Bulova 23 today.

Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)
Thank you, but "squiggle lug" appears to be a common description for this model of Bulova 23 - I'd seen it a few times on vintage Bulova websites (myBulova and watchophilia) when I was researching Bulova 23 watches.gaf1958 wrote:Between the dial and those lugs, That's a beauty no doubt!
