That was Barry but I like it to, classic design.Quote:

It's very similar shape and style to my Gruen.Quote:

The collection (excluding the exotics that were still in the safe)

Is there a way to easily check the production date range for the Omega I said was a '67?
I know it was from around that date but it could be later.... I just like the sound of '67;)
What a collection, Roy. True enthusiast!

I'll have to take the back off to find out. When I replace the strap I'll get the jewelers to do it.
That would be the same Garrard as in Garrard turntables!Quote:

Pretty thing as well. Understated style
Very elegant piece. 38mm?
Gone with this today on a sand coloured silicone strap that I'm not sure suits it? I'm thinking I might treat it to a decent tan leather one.

All Titanium, weighs nothing, amazing (yet another over specified, oversized dive watch though.. yep, that's what I like!)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...87753015_b.jpg
Titanium. Make airframes out of that
A name from the past, cool little watch though. Bezel doesn't move but face lights up when you press the crown :)

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...990e1a80_b.jpg
good little watches the expeditions
How many black face/bezel dive watches does one bloke need? Never enough seems to be the answer.

Decided to treat myself to a 60th/Retirement present, from Louis Erard:

Looks nice.. big too
Very elegant piece. I've not seen that brand before.Quote:

Here's their website if you've not found it already:

BTW, my left wrist is quite small after I broke it badly about 30yrs ago.
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/KvQAA...1y-/s-l640.jpg
quite like this one. but again strap size will likely be an issue. always too short
This strap any use to you Grant?
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e8f89a69_b.jpg
that looks more my length.. wrist is over 9 inches but can swell a bit.. Where did u get that?
It was an alternative strap that came with a watch I sold. You're welcome to have it, just pm me your address.Quote:

Quite nice it is too. Pity strap is struggling yo go round my wrist, which is the usual, hence my using mostly pockets. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f431ed315f.jpg
It's not super high quality but looks okhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eb4d937973.jpg
Got a couple of that brand Grant, power reserve's not great but other than that they're very good.
Good to here. He wears then changes so wont bother him much I guess. He likes watches and autos, although most he has are those solar ones I think. He will like it I think. Just part of his xmas. always get him a lot of smaller things as he likes opening stuff...
My watches; nothing special but I like TW Steel. Their size suit my wrist and hand size ;)
1st watch is an Accurist my wife bought me for our first Christmas together back in Dec 2006; the black TW Steel (45mm) she bought me the Christmas of the year we married, 9 years ago yesterday in 2010 and the other 2 TW Steel watches (both 50mm) I bought last year, brand new but listed at silly times on eBay and managed to win both ;)

Purports to be a dive watch but isn't, like the colour though
