Just won this on the fleabay

thinking a nice blue/red nato strap and it's a decent everyday wearer

A few of mine. Just got the 1940 Ebel pilots watch back from a service with new mainspring. It's the one at the top right.

Lovely collection! Hope you don't mind sharing some info?

What is the top left quartz? Looks like a MWC or CWC...

Also, the Omega central with the blue Nato? Really nice...

Was looking at the cost of fully perpetual & pseudo-perp calendar watch. I doubt I'd ever wear a gold watch but I'm fascinated by the inner workings that go towards making such a piece- especially as the cost is pretty high. If you want a good looking one here's one going for £130k:

Stowa, Laco, Archimede... There's loads about!

Hamilton, too.

It's a CWC quartz which was issued to someone in the army in 2006, so guess Afghanistan or maybe Iraq. It was £30 and I bought it for my Dad the other week.

The Omega on the grey/blue NATO strap is a WW2 RAF issued 6B/159 which basically means "flying equipment" / "navigator's chronometer". They are still a good price, so you can find them occasionally for around the £250 mark, in original condition.

The Ebel was also issued as a 6B/159, as were various other watch brands like Longines.

The Hamilton on the right is a G.S Tropicalized. It's basically the same as the Hamilton 6B pilots watch from the late 60's, except it was supposedly issued to government personel who were working abroad in hot climates.

I like almost everything about that. It's, er... under-stated.

That is really very nice actually.

Shame I can't find a photo of that specific watch. The render is nice, but would've been nice to see the actual materials. Lots of photos online of the watch, but all subtly different (lacking the green dot at the top, or with a vertical line at 12 O'clock rather than triangle, etc).

MAT make some nice stuff, will have to check out their store next time I'm in Paris...

^^ V - check out Obris if you like that kind of look:
