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

Finally found my old pocket watch in a well overdue cleanup.






Looking back I can't believe I was 13 when I bought this.

Nothing special, but it served me well all though Uni. Lots of watches since...

Looks like a nice old daily carry watch. Is that a 17-jewel Swiss movement?

I wish I had the brains to have acquired pocket watches when I was 13. They were practically being given away back in those days.

I too wish I had the brains then I do now. Come to that, I could use a lot more now!

GREAT watches guys! I've been wearing this 1941 Bauhaus Longines of late. It's a little guy, 30mm. UPDATE: Here's a wrist shot I just took with my vintage Whippet in the background...

and some glam shots

NICE pilot Talbot! It this a Time Factors watch? Speedbird III? I've been wanting one but just never pulled the trigger. One day GREAT looking watch!

^^^^^A beautiful piece, wear it well!

While not quite Vintage I'd been looking for an IWC MkXI for a while. Wound up getting this instead:


A well built homage watch.

Very nice looking watch. As you can see from my post further up, I'm a big fan of simple "clean" faces on watches - like your.

Thanks Fading Fast! Bauhaus is my new favorite! Before this design I LOVED and still do the streamling deco of the 30's. Gruen Curvex's are my all time favorite vintage watch. I especially LOVE the long ones 50mm and 52mm. They are BEAUTIES!

Something else I found in my recent clean up. Needs a stem and crown sadly. Maybe one day....

Beautiful - I have the exact same watch! It was my grandfather's dress watch.

Here's a 1951 Bulova Allerton model I found in the graveyard.

After putting it on life support and giving it a lot of TLC it came back to life.

Wearing my '38 Waltham with a Crescent St cal 870 movement in a 50mm gold filled case. The case is just as curved as a Greun Curvex but with a normal round movement. Still an impressive watch! Here she is with my 50's Whippet in the background

Here's some nicer photos.
