I'm dreaming of a JLC

you should wear it more unless it is in danger of being damaged in some way. life itself is a special occasion, no?

I wear my Speedy all the time - It's a good watch - why not? There's no point in having nice things if you don't enjoy them.

i have an omega , the olympic albatross one that needs repairing as one of the hands flops down when it wants to and re waterproofing, i might see what they say a basic service would cost

The second hand on my Geneve does that. Let me know what they quote, as I need to get it fixed.

I wear one of these... not while riding though

the portuguese ones are nice! love them.

ive got a baume et mercier capeland. loved it back then but prefer watches with big clean simple watch faces now (like that ^ old seamaster up there).

i never wear a watch whilst riding. find it annoying

everyday use is my €30 watch. 4yrs on, still going strong

Timely thread though as I'm going to buy a vintage rolex from my birth year this week. Anyone know a good shop? I was going to go here:

French watch FTW!! (late 40s)

Loic

Hey did we meet at East drinks after the Tweed ride? I'm sure you showed me this. I think you clocked (geddit) my 1930s Mappin. Will post a pic soon. Not having owned a mechanical watch before any tips on winding? Not sure when/how much really.

austin kaye on the strand have been there for a long time. paperwork and serial numbers are key because if you have one that is registered stolen and you ever take it in to be serviced you might arrive in a taxi and leave in a police car watchless. also the fakes are very good and again you might leave watchless.

i have a nixon 'time teller' (literally, that's what it's called) it wasn't expensive but it has massive sentimental damage. despite the fact that it's falling apart and now looks stupid i can't bare to send it off to get fixed because i'm worried they'll loose it.

it was recently featured in the sunday times style magazine 'hot or not' list. in the hot section, clearly.

got this for my 21st

does the job, looks better in the flesh.

this is the watch i want

Dream watch JAcque Cousteau Seamaster

I wear el cheapo casios day to day.

I've got a small number of US military issue Hamiltons, Marathons and a Stocker & Yale which I'd like to add to, funds permitting.

Nice collection here: http://www.50717.com/

yeah, this one here got me interested in doing one,

Nice, that's what I want but the newer version with a red second finger and with a steel strap too

I've got this:

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Quartz. It's a very nice watch. It's the first watch of this quality I've ever owned and is definitely worth the investment in my opinion. I look forward to making further additions to my collection.

i know they're slightly nouveau, but i have a thing for rolexes. my dream rolex:

i stopped wearing my rolex cuz i kept mashing it up while cycling and having to get it repolished. clock on phone, innit.

I have a soft spot for Nixon watches, and silly LED ones from Tokyo Flash.

This is mine.

This is my 1920's half hunter

i recently got a rotary from my gran for my 18th
nothing special (apart from being a gift) but i love it

fucked up the pic :P

be careful going over those bumps, could unsettle the balance spring, overhauling aint cheap

It tends to come out on special occasions.

As do I.

I have a Patek Phillippe in my drawer at home but never wear it...

You are no longer my son.
I was once picking up a package from Patek and the store monkey was showing a customer a watch costing £500,000. Never a suicide bomber about when you need one.

a fine selection of digital and analogue

fixed.
just read the background to comex issued rolexes - very interesting. i've known about the sea dwellers but not ones with comex branding on them. thanks
