Post pics of your watches Part II

IrishPlayer

Have wanted to print off some vintage Seiko catalog's/ Advertising and put them on the wall, finally got around to it today :)

Just went with one catalog for now, featuring two from my collection ( 4006-6020 and the gold 4005-7000, first two top row)

Also got this printed as a reminder of a great trip!

Thinking of getting this old advertising printed out next

Sorry S, only seeing this now, site is a mess.

I fkin love this watch. It is beautifully big and hefty, and so, so well put together. Everything is just so precise, from the lovely angular case to the tight 120 click bezel with a gorgeous matt ceramic coating. I haven't tested accuracy yet, but it doesn't seem to have lost anything since I put it on. My only regret is that they didn't supply an SS bracelet, as I'm still not sure I'm a fan of rubber, but overall it's the best buy I've made in a long time and is now my full-time daily.

Thanks very much.

I bought one yesterday.

A simple quartz Seiko today. Nothing remarkable about the watch but has sentimental value.

Beautiful. Have missed a few due to inaction on my part

Wasn't mad keen on the original Seiko rubber strap it came with, so have switched it over to a Bond NATO I had lying in a drawer.

And a cheapo Chinese strap arrived this week for my cheapo Casio, just to give it a more casual look than the supplied bracelet.

Where did you find that one?

Up in Athlone today visiting the In-laws. Had a lovely lunch in The Fatted Calf, really enjoyed that.

Then whilst the better half was shopping with her Mam and getting the victuals in 😉 I rediscovered the macro mode on my phone and had a little play.

Home and messing with a lightbox.

TF makes this look so easy!🤔

Bloody love this watch 😁

As I said earlier I'm just not a fan of rubber straps, just don't like the feel, so I ordered a 'beads of rice' type steel bracelet for the Leviathan from esprit-nato which arrived today. I'm suitably impressed;

I brought the Datejust for a spin on the M50.

This is something I used to do many years ago as a PhD student to supplement my meagre (£7,500) scholarship. I still keep my hand in every year doing a few trips (family business), even though my day job is far different.

Anybody name that camion?

(I've totally lost track of the watches forums since the new website - obviously I must need to sign up for notifications etc. again.)

Looks like you will be watching a good bit of time pass by on the rolex before you get anywhere in that traffic.

Depressing stuff!

It was last week and an accident at the N4/6 slip road delayed me for about 30 minutes. But yes, it's OK for a day/week/trip at a time, but glad I don't have to sit in Irish traffic for a living.

Not many truck drivers sporting a Rolex 😂

Nice camion. A Scania, what model?

I remember the traffic that day with an accident on the N4 exit ramp (southbound), thankfully I was travelling the other way and I made my way home via the backroads rather than sit in that!

Not many truck drivers sporting a Rolex is right...but some of the guys the lads deliver (plant and machinery) to most certainly do. Definitely a case of where's there's muck, there's brass.

It's a Scania S580. Left hand drive as bought in the Netherlands (as mucho €€€€ cheaper than right hand drive).

Last week it was something from the 1970s, this week we're heading back to the 1930s! 🙂

Still ticking quite well for a 2006 2531.8000, have been looking to add a new watch to the collection (of one) but with an upcoming wedding it's looking likely this will be my wedding watch. Must get a service and polish up for the big day.

Seamaster is a very solid wedding watch, wish my wedding watch was that good.

You'd join me in the dubious company illustrious group of wedding Seamaster wearers.

My humble collection (so far).

I enjoy this watch way more than I expected that I would! Photos don't do it justice.

It's a lovely one, and well worn 👍

Ah, I never meant to sound condescending towards it as a wedding watch, more purely that I've been following some vintage watch / grey market dealers on Instagram and they've putting up some nice tasty Calatrava's, OP's and such. Part of me was hoping to squeeze one of them into the wedding budget but considering nearly every cent is watched like a hawk I don't think I could get it passed the CFO 😀.

They are two class Hamiltons - both have been on my radar - both stellar (inter) choices

I really need to fix the date mechanism on this.
