The general watch talk discussion

Bit of vintage fun

 

[Ferret619]

Sigh, but wait, there more! [money to pour down the rabbit hole that is]



Not a fan of the look unfortunately



'Fat Boy', did somebody say 'Fat Boy' - well in that case tell me more

Oh wait, don't bother. Just read @Drubbing's post - will stick with my cheapie Seiko 5

Something like a seagull 1963 seems like it would be up your ally-

It’s an interesting watch with some terrific heritage.

 

[Ferret619]

But I like the look of this one.

Drop the leading ‘2’ and I think I would grab it

Invicta 8926-perhaps

So thoughts on this then, pre owned self winding

 

[58RW]

This is smart looking $140.00 or offer + free postage

 

[Ferret619]

Lots of random stuff on eBay, I have this coming for under $40

Hard to belive but the monster isn’t great for getting under shirt cuffs
And I’ve wanted to try a cheapie Seiko 5

Yes indeed.
I’ve also actually got my dads old watch, which itself is nothing special but he seemed to love it.

Another fun find.

Nice looking watch -

Non-original though and quartz

 

[Drubbing]

By non original, you mean Fake? I've not see a $180 Omega anywhere.

Buy shirts with French cuffs. Problem solved... although a Monster might not quite be the ideal watch in that situation...

Another fun find.

Swatches are hella collectible these days. There are a heap of vintage rare ones that if in mint condition, they go for about the same as an entry-level 'proper' Swiss with an auto movement. Insane.

Unfortunately I gammed the quick-adjust spring bar on my SZSC003, meaning it is not on the wrist. Hard to get 18mm single-shoulder springbars anywhere, let alone 18 x 1.3mm with a 0.7mm pivot. Might need to take the one off the SRP315 instead while I source some.

My Seiko to which I gave to my wife a few years ago cause I just don't wear a watch love the look of some just not into wearing them this is a 5 Bar.

I love my swatches, lots of fun stuff out there to try in their expansive range however, not the most refined however, in fact I had the above on my bedside table and my wife complained that it was too loud.

It finished up at $400+ dispite the modded case and non original crown...
