Does Anyone Here Like Watches?

I like watches just as much as leather jackets! ;)

Here's a modded Invicta homage to the 1953 Rolex that I wear and gets more compliments than most any other watch in my collection.

Love the top hat sapphire!

Some of the neatest watches these days are not mechanical. Love the self winders but the newer movements are worthy of soem seroious porn as well. I'll start a thread on "tool" watches. That should cover all the military watches new and old ;)

I wind my autos when they come into rotation (cogs, gears and springs do it for me)

I wish I had the wrist (not to mention pilot's license) for a watch like that. I've never been crazy about Breitling bezels, but it really works in this case. Does the tiny quartz watch on the strap just act as a second timezone? Let's see a shot of that bad boy on wrist!
The small watch is a UTC module, never made for the Blackbird, I adapted it. Yes a second time zone.

We are hijacking your sales thread....

If a toolwatch thread is started I will post a wristshot (once I manage to get it from it's storage).

This from a meet up of my pals The Duxford 10 many years ago.

Haha, no worries about that. All of those watches sold over two years ago. I honestly forgot that this thread even existed.

You've got some beauties there. Do I count four Aerospace models? I've always wanted a tough ani-digi watch, but can never seem to find one that suits my tiny wrists (and the ones that I can find seem to have been created in design hell).

Not all mine. There where 10 of us in those days, now sadly seven. That was what we wore to our first get together in Duxford. (Yes some wore a couple, others more....).
B1s are great, however an aerospace is a favoured choice of our man in the RAF who has less neanderthal wrists. Some stick to collecting Breitling, most have balanced collections. Tools all of us.......
