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

[Jay]

No way! I have that EXACT same Bulova watch on the right. It came from my step-grandfather or something like that (He died in the 60's)

 

[Harp]

Wrist wear

Normally a third-generation Hamilton until its crystal cracked;
now a gifted Gruen Precision with a diamond noon spot.

 

[carebear]

IIRC, the reason I didn't wear it anymore wasn't the mobile 'phone originally, but that the crown hurt me. (We're wearing watches on the inner side of the wrist in my family.)

That's a good practice, less chance of a stray glint for the snipers.

My 1935 Waltham and my Rolex (Thanks, Zach R!), click for big pictures:



I still haven't gotten around to having the minute hand on the Waltham reattached.

Yeah, until recently that was my daily wearer.

Right now I switch between a Citizen Ecodrive(brown leather band) and a Seiko Automatic(Diver's 200) SS with a dark grey face.

 

[Terry Lennox]

maybe we should have a what do you want on your wrist thread too...

I could list about 20 or so....

I think I like good watches almost as much as I like fedoras.

 

[The Reno Kid]

Here's what I normally wear.

Unfortunately, I broke the crystal a couple of weeks ago and haven't gotten it replaced yet.

A ten year old (new vintage) Tag Hauer dive watch that I love and wear everyday. I did order a few vintage watches a few weeks ago, and am looking forward to receiving them.

I agree, I could list at least ten vintage and some new watches that I crave. Not to start it, but Rolex makes the most amazing platinum and diamond face, cord strap vintage watch that is incredible, and totally unaffordable, but a gal can dream!

Paddy,

Nice watch.

I'd like to find a left-handed 40mm Panerai but I'm not having much luck. I think most of the lefty watches are 44mm/47mm.

[Terry Lennox]

Barry,

why not just have a watchsmith rotate your watch face to be upside down?

Then you have a left handed watch.

 

[Dalexs]

Usually some model of Timex...
(he says after discovering the hard way that his former Timex dive watch was no longer water proof... )

 

[John in Covina]

Buy a watch Mister? Then you'd know it's no time to be in this Neighborhood!

I have an OD Green on Black ten year old Timex that has both analog and digital on the face for the I don't care what happens to it watch.

I have a Stainless steel Wegner Swiss watch that plain and easy to read.

I have a Chronograph style Marine Star Bulova that is pretty cool.

I have a Bulova Milenium Minute Repeater that is a fun watch.

I have my Tourney Gold Case pocket watch which I got in the late 70's at Macy's in the Massapequa Sunrise Mall on Long Island. It still works and keeps great time.

I have a Bulova from the 50's that was Dad's. It has got a rectangular face similar to a Hamilton Tank Watch. Needs a good fixing and a nice brown leather band.

Brought to you in BULOVA TIME!

Velkommen Spitfire

Velkommen Spitfire. Det er vist mig som er den 3'ie k??benhavner.

On my wrist i wear a Rolex Submariner which i bought new in 1982 when sailing in the merchant navy (having no expenses to speak of and paying almost no tax i had money to spare back then).

 

[Braxton36]

1939 Rolex on the days I don't carry an 1890's Waltham pocketwatch.
