Post pics of your watches Part II

Love a 3133, me!

Very nice, and a lovely model.

I've had a few, including a Blue Angels Chrono, a dressy one with a metallic, icy white dial and Roman numerals, and a Sturmanski.

I have a soft spot for these.

Good build quality, solid, long lasting movement, and general timelessness about the design.

All you need, really.

Looking great on that and likely more wearable as they say. Super looking watch.

143 pre dip.

@Pablo_Flox Very nice!

Spotting a bit of a theme here, can't quite put my finger on it…

😁

A question for those who have a little bit of restoration experience. It's not work I'll be doing myself but, on 50s & 60s era watches with oxidisation or dial mottling.

I'm assuming that this is usually a failure of the varnish? Is it a case of going slow with peg wood and rodico to clean it up? Or must a solvent be used?

The pic below as an example:

Any seemingly clean bracelet that's worn oozes an amazing cloud of human gunk the second the switch is tripped in an u/s cleaner. My kids call it "asmr", in my day we'd call it trippy:)

They're a great piece of kit alright. The amount of times it's sorted blocked jets and passageways from my carbs over the yrs! Saved me much hassle.

Its not mine, just an example of what I'm eyeballing on the hunt for a birthday present. I am a member over there, but have yet to post. No excuse no I guess ;)

That's lovely, I'm not a fan of that strap, though.
My young lad has made it known that he wants a vintage omega as his 21st birthday present.
He's got his eye on a few, he started off wanting a Constellation piepan but, the search has expanded to Bumper Seamasters & Geneve.
The main want, is a 36mm case, decent condition dial and most importantly, dagger indices.
I've a few alerts set up on watch recon and Chrono24 but pickings are either in need of huge work, pricey or at the very least redials.

always wanted one of these and have to say it’s stunning

Just a quick thank you for this suggestion LD. I've been a member over there a while but hadn't posted. Took your advice and posted re what he wanted and the advice over there has been great.

Most welcome.

Hung out there for a while and got some essential wisdom before purchasing my Speedie Mark II.

There is the usual mix of sediment, middle swimmers, and cream at the top, but generally, the knowledge is excellent.

Glad you got a decent steer.

Now, you know the rules — much pictures, many description! 😁

Lovely MM. I find they wear great on a good quality mesh too!

I got stuck behind a crash today on the A82 in Scotland, so what else to do but take photos of your watch. This is an Omega nato I bought passing through Switzerland a month ago. Uber-comfort.

Picked up another Breitling today, 44mm but wears fairly small

DDS comes to anything outside of an ordinary day. Building an heirloom.
