My digital work watch today.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ef5ee102ab.jpg
Don’t have a digital, thinking Casio has the market covered?
Like everyone back in the day, had an F91W and the calculator watch (From Mums catalogue :)) wonder if there’s a modern equivalent?
Watches are fun, have a few spendy ones but enjoy whatever makes you feel good on the day, for whatever reason.
Rolex at the last Baselworld showed the latest GMT, and the QC was terrible.
Fuck that Guy.
Today a Bison, this one’s No.24 apparently

That's a meaty bugger, looks like it could survive a direct hit from a tank. You can't have anything much bigger, surely?Quote:

I also had a massive Parnis (matron) but recently sold it

That's got the TW Steel look to it, I've never owned either make but they are a proper size. You'd know you were wearing it :)Quote:

Being a little hungover this morning I needed something solemn

That's an interesting design, quite stylish.Quote:

Bloody hell! That's a monster, another one that looks indestructible. I've never seen raised minute markers like that, I guess the whole pip lumes?Quote:

(Not brilliant actually - it’s no Seiko - well, apart from the movement)
It looks like it was designed to be easily readable from all angles.Quote:

A big thumbs up for that one. As you say, it's a proper bit of class.Quote:

Just have to check my itinerary to make sure I'm not going anywhere dodgy. At least this one's quite understated, not like the TT Submariners that shout 'mug me!'.Quote:

13 quid for an automatic watch Grant (some might say you can see why lol) but you can't get a decent strap for that & 2 out of 3 sub dials actually do something (& the strap's leather) don't know how they do it.Quote:

All the way from Russia

That looks like a recent version, I've an older Amphibia from a number of years ago....

According to the paperwork that came with it it was originally purchased in November last year, it was on a poor quality black plastic strap, I've replaced this with a sage green silicone strap which, I think, suits it well.Quote:

Looks good Grant. A really interesting collection. If I may say, a gentleman's collection.Quote:

Even has its original papers and service papers in lid.
Bought like pretty much all of mine In America.
Value hard to say but it's 130 years old and still works https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...418eae7749.jpg
Have a Bambino Gen 2. Looking at an Orient upgrade. Probably go for an Orient Star SAF02004Whttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...faa32530de.jpg
Nice one Grant.Quote:

always liked square watches even though they let dust in, or used to.
Missed one out of the box.. Found it now and catalogued it.
It's a nice very pretty Hampden.
Think it was only one I got outwith usa. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fc6309cec2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3144686570.jpg
Lovely pocket watches there Grant. I have a couple, which I wear fairly regularly in the winter with a three-piece suit when I need to be smart for work. Will get some pics of my watches sometime.
