Very niuce busmatt.
Is that a private label vintage pocket watch?
If so I'd be interested to know whether you've identified the manufacturer, with details of course!
That's a very nice movement as well, thanks for postingYes, it’s a Ladrador, an early brand of Omega, retailed by Allworthy brothers

Nothing surprising about a railroad standard Waltham of grade "Vanguard" keeping excellent time!
This is the only vintage piece in my rotation, I usually wear it with suits. I think it's from the late '70s, I found it in a pawn shop about ten years ago and the guy working the counter sold it to me for $10 under the agreement that I wouldn't bring it back if it didn't run or wouldn't keep time (it was marked $65). I paid $5 for a jeweler to put a battery in and it's kept perfect time ever since. I think I got a bargain.
I've got a mid-2000s rectangular Buluva that is 30mm wide, and this Seiko is noticably smaller, but I'm not sure exactly how wide it is (26mm, maybe).
Pretty sure that Seiko is from the late 1980's or early 1990's. I had one but I can't remember when I got it. 93 I think.
