Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

Now reactivated Pa's gold-coloured Casio (AQ 229), too. It's more battered than the silver, but still seem to work.

Here in the US early this morning was the switch to Daylight Savings Standard Time. (We turn our clocks back an hour and then in March we turn our clocks forward one hour.) I turned clocks in the house back an hour and went to turn my watches back an hour.


Over the US Covid shutdown and subsequent work adjustments, I found myself wearing casual watches everyday. I acquired a modified Seiko and a Filson Field Watch (Shinola) for my everyday hard use watches. The Tag Huer watch has been a wrist timepiece for decades. My "dressier watch" has mostly been living in the safe.

They are time accurate this morning.

Cheers, Eric -

Some days I hate how intrusive my Apple watch is so once in a while I break out the old Analogs. Seiko from 1995. My 18th birthday present. A little shake and it jumps to life again.

I spent some time Saturday cleaning this new acquisition.

Mid 1990’s Seamaster “Electric Blue” on Omega mesh bracelet. My oldest piece, and one of my favorites.

Here’s my vintage pocket watches. A French closed face and a Hamilton Railway Special that were my great grand fathers and an Illinois Special that is like one my grand father carried as a conductor on the rail road.

Vintage rolex with a new custom leather strap on order. Found the strap tailor on social media. Excellent communication and looks like great quality leather. Will not match my jackets per se but I like mixing shades of brown.

@-Ariel-
"Paloma"?

Not "Paloma" but rather "Raketa" being the English transliteration from the Cyrillic.

Yes, means "rocket". And the movement.
