Post pics of your watches Part II

Bought in a Seiko 5 bundle, 4 watches, two working, two not, but I knew that.
This was one of the non working, that actually works fine. From 1955 iirc. Edit, mixed up, from Aug 1968, so 55 years old
Not a great time keeper, more than likely badly needs a service, entry from glass side only so I haven't seen the insides.
Anyone any thoughts on whether it would be worth getting serviced? I think it would as while I originally really wasn't sure on the design, it's getting a surprising amount of wrist time and I now quite like it.
Came with a bracelet, but a little battered, and much to small for my wrist. That strap was my first purchase in that style and used it to try out the watch, that's was quite a while back, and I think I'll stick with it.

Issued 1943 ReichsLuftfahrtMinisterium RLM Wagner today. Maybe I should have worn it last weekend... Level upon level of ironies all over the place.

On way home after another trip to the Birmingham watch fair. Didn't end up getting anything this time around but great to meet up with some of the regulars and chat with new people.
Here's some of the spots (Wibbs would of enjoyed it today! 😉)
Was asking for £4,900 for it.
This was the highlight of the day!
Longines " Tuna Can" from I believe around the 1940s. Extremely cool watch! Here's more details about it https://finest-hour.co.uk/product/longines-c-o-s-d-tuna-can-british-military-wristwatch-c-1945/
Would of loved to take it home with me, but for £8.500 sadly it wasn't going to be 😁 Great feel to the case, you could tell it was made to be worn hard!
Also spotted this Omega Memomatic that was missing parts
Thinking of a possible future project but not for the £890 he wanted.
Hope everyone is doing well.

I surprised myself that I bought this watch. I got it for the movement - Peseux 7001 hand wind with Glycudur balance and Incabloc shock. It keeps spot on time out of the box.
It has curved sapphire crystal and the strap is actually pretty nice, shiny patent leather faux croc. I'm getting over the goofy retro art nouveau numbers and tourneau case shape. The recessed subdial is nicely done with a tourneau outline.
It's getting hard to find reasonably priced hand wind watches, especially other than eta 280x or China/Japan, and the Peseaux 7001 has been used in such as Nomos, Omega, Stowa. At $404 US new with manufacturers warranty I'm happy even if it's something oddball that I wouldn't normally buy. It's a Tissot heritage Porto.

I tried one of these on in Greece recently and loved it so I picked one up second-hand for a good price as waiting for the fabric strap to arrive before posting a pic. It's an Erika's Original MN Strap.
Nice to have the bracelet for work events but it will be on the fabric strap most of the time.
No more watches for me that's me done..

Not a new watch but a new watch box. I have been deliberating over buying this for literally years, couldn’t make my mind up if I liked the burr finish or not, then he started to make one with a normal walnut finish and I decided I preferred the burr. Very happy with it and now wish I had done it when I originally came across them.

The latest addition to the daily rotation, a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 - the automatic alternative to the original quartz version.
Like i find with all things from the house of Swatch at entry level mechanical pricing points, it is excellent bang for a very modest amount of buck. My only gripe is the lume is so sparingly applied as to be useless, other than that, very pleased with it for the price.
