Never really got on with it, tried it on 5 or 6 different straps, ultimately decided it was really too big for my wrist so I've stuck it on ebay.Quote:

timex is best for a full dress affair. first orient is quite different
Yes, definitely the Timex if you're wearing a DJ.
Went with the odd Orient. Happy New Watches

No pocket watches in your collection to go in the waistcoat Roy? I always like a pocket watch with a waistcoat. [emoji846]
(You scrub up well, by the way! ;) )

Used to browse the Navitimers in the expensive watch shops quite regularly when I got my first proper job. Never did buy one in the end. How old is this one?Quote:

Love that! I have a Dreyfus (?) skeleton that my wife bought me for my 40th which looks similar from the back, will have to take a picture or two.
Popped this one on today.
Nice Paris.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...73908a88b8.jpg
Dates from the late sixties , great looking watch and superb dial but old age and dodgy eye site makes it hard to read without glasses lolQuote:

early seventies calibre 12 same as the “Steve McQueen” Monaco which is on my list of watches to own ….. now fetching crazy money , the date is a unfortunately and very annoying something that’s got to be fixed as the date wheel is worn and needs replacing but they aren’t available anymore :rolleyes:Quote:

Me too! Loads of 60’s and 70’s muscle, maybe we need a new thread “Who’s keen on models of American Muscle”! [emoji846] Quite a few 1/18 scale too, and lots of Hot Wheels but not many redlines. [emoji846]
Can't recall exactly what's up there, I know there are lots of Corvettes & Mustangs.
That's a proper classic watch... Lovely!Quote:
