I'm guessing Late 1960s? Looks great for 50 odd years old. I think it's a hand winder, how long does it stay going after you wind it?If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

1965, about 2 days between winds...I normally only wear it for 1 day at a time though0 -

I have a one watch in, one watch out policy. I recently sold my Omega Seamaster on the rubber strap, and have replaced it with this Datejust 1603 from 1976 that I found on Adverts. I have it on various straps at the moment, including a madly expensive, but pretty damned cool and comfortable Bulang & Son bund, as I await the arrival of a jubilee hopefully next week. It's a beautiful watch, silver dial, and serviced a couple of years ago.

Reckoned a padded tan pigskin strap looked wrong for this so won an auction last week for a black genuine lizard strap. Under a tenner all in. Can't go wrong
Also thought I'd do some research into the model it was and found out it is a "Coronation V".
All of 225 bucks in 1950. Cheap at half the price. Actually in 1950 the average months wages was around 250 dollars so not chump change either.
Longines advertise their "Evidenza" model as the one that Humphrey Bogart wore in Casablanca and other flics, but in my humble no way is it the Evidenza, totally different curved tonneau shape, but much more likely a "Coronation".

Seiko Recraft SSC669, which I had picked up a couple of years back, and then which I completely neglected as I could never find a suitable strap to match it.
I wouldn't be the biggest fan of most NATO straps due to their size, but found this one yesterday in a box and I think it pairs with the watch quite well.

It's not quite an IWC today
but a far more accurate timepiece in reality.
Obligatory!
And now I'm not selling this anymore :pac:
Ended up withdrawing it from adverts yesterday as I just fell into liking it again after wearing it for a while...
And!
Mrs Banie commented on how cool it is!
I think I'm in there :P0 -

Yeah, I'm just gonna use mine as a G-Shock alternative. Cool watch alright.0 -

Digging through the attic doing a tidy up. As you don't. I found my very first ever watch. Gifted to me by my grandparents for Christmas when I would have been six. Haven't see it in years.
I've grown. Not much mind. Makes much of the antimagnetics going on. Just another cheap Swiss no name brand that the cheap quartz digitals killed off. Wound it up and away it ran. Must be 40 years later.
Pin pallet movement. Ticks like it means it. One jewel. One. And looks like it's been assembled by someone with evil intent and four thumbs. Actually has great amplitude and seems to be running bang on time.
Still that's genesis. It's even wire lugged and requires a one piece strap. Start as you mean to go on I suppose. Next watch I got was another pin pallet "divers" watch by mortima. And I picked that one out. Cos Jacques Cousteau. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
