Watches

So close. I'd eventually like to get a 1970 Speedy Pro for a birth year watch. Wear the 2014 Speedy Pro pretty much every day and the Apollo XI 40th Anniversary one occasionally.

Hey, that IS my birth year.

Buy my watch

I love Orient, but they get scratched so easily.

Just joined the drop as well, picked up the blue one. What strap are you gonna wear with it? That rubber is just too cheesy and has to go. I was thinking of either picking up a bracelet for it, or going with a mesh NATO. Undecided.

Or go bananas and get the Rolls Royce of strap tools, a $24 Bergeon.

Of course lots of the NATO strap retailers throw in a free spring bar tool. I just threw four or five of them away.

Semi related aside, if you plan on using a leather NATO, like the Gustin or a DeLuca, you'll want a nicer pair of spring bars than what come with most cheap straps.

Ok so i love Pulsar, its just something about the streamlines of many models that i like. So i was in crete last year and they had 50% off on one i liked, but i had to think and never got around to going back there. So now Im here again and lo and behold they still had the watch. I got it, and was so very happy, but at home when trying it the alarm hands were stuck (broken) so i had to go back today. They could not repair it....... so all I could do was to change to another watch gahh they only had like calvin cline or some other crap.

So i got a Tx watch wich is actually much to busy for me really but the overall colors of rosegold and brown face and brown gator strap will go great with brown leather jacket and work attire at the office.

I got a good deal for buying in a shop (about the price for a second hand one on ebay). Retail when they were sold some years ago was about 600euro. Yes they are discontinued.









So yes its a quartz, but its got sapphire lens with a serious anti-glare coating, 4 independant motors, some hours to record time, second timezone and a compass. Itll do until i can get a classic, and in the meantime i have many needles to fiddle with and figure out wich way my computer is facing at work

anecdotally i've heard nothing but good things about them. came close to grabbing during a sale but opted for other makers.

I've picked a few watches over the past year... A couple of Seikos and an Orient. Do you guys store yours in a watch box? If so, any recommendations on a nice box? Was thinking maybe something that could hold eight (give some space to grow my collection).

After poking around on various forums for a bit, I ended up ordering this watch box:

should work well for my needs.

Any recommendations on where to start looking for antique pocket watches? I've been checking eBay to get a price and selection reference point but there's a world of knowledge and details out there. I like a cleaner face, though some complications are nice if placement is thought out. Thanks for any suggestions.

Some frankenwatches are vintage. Not everyone could afford to repair the watch right and used other parts. Sometimes it's not the biggest of deal.

Personally I like Waltham.
