Yeah I've had two Ironys, one with a dark blue face and silver hands, the other with a black face and yellow dials. My daily Swatch is a few pages back, very light silver, plain face, with a black/brown stripe painted down the straps and over the face, made to look like it was painted with a slightly dry brush. It looks filthy in the pic but mine is clean.

well done morgasm hope it brings you have lots of fun moments wearing it.
this reminds me of my promise to put up pics of my latest find.age not known. i showed it to someone today whom i was informed knew a thing or two about watches and they said they thought it was genuine. yippee.
i think it will look alot better with a leather strap.

it's after 1937 before then breitlings said something else on the face...montbrillant, though I wouldn say much later as the number 4 is so stylised. though I think in the 50's they changed the font..so maybe late forries early fifties.

@wingedangel yeah i thought it was late forties early fifties. it was amongst a selection of other watches a seller of nick nacks had. he had bits of everything. bought it quite late in the morning which is why i thought that other more knowledgeable watch buyers might have spotted it.
the 'are you sitting down' price was £10.00 from spitalfields. last night i borrowed a shark skin strap from my tissot and it looks lovely i'll post a picture later.
spitalfields market is a good place to look i think. there was a seller there yesterday that had a table full of very interesting and tasty pieces.
unrelated to watches - there was a beautiful engine turned hallmarked silver dunhill pen that i didnt buy. -
Very, very good find.
Sadly, the Omega I bought still has a second hand that refuses to stay put. Who does the best Omega servicing? dmczone gave me the name of a place but they seemed to not want to fix it again for me. I'm looking for some other options.
Also - been meaning to post this latest acquisition - 60's era Soviet military watch from Molnija.

Your new piece is "teh sex" though. Very nice to see it last night. I really dig the old Soviet watches for some reason - I'm a Cold War era kid is probably why. The face is mahoosive (43mm) and part of the charm.
Cheers for the recommendation morgasm. Will give them a bell and mention you punted me their way.

I have a question for the experts, I have an old casio with metal case, and I wnat to put and NATO style strap, but I'm worried that the pins will brake and I will lose the watch

AW10s and 12s are gorgeous. That or a Swatch Original is in my mind the perfect everyday watch. I posted my Swatch but it got slated so I guess they're not popular on here...
