Anyone keen on watches?

[Roy S]

I am very fortunate to have these three watches. Picture 2 my Michael Phelps Planet Ocean Omega Seamaster Automatic, Picture 3 my Quartz Omega Deville (A watch that is not really befitting of the name Omega as its not a mechanical movement for which Omega are rightly regarded as amongst the finest manufacturers of movement watches in the world) lastly but by no means least, pic 4 my father's Omega Geneve circa 1973, mechanical movement a Christmas present from my late mother and with me while I arrange having it serviced and cleaned. (Although to be fair it keeps pretty much perfect time, despite to my knowledge having only been serviced once its lifetime!)

Some nice pieces.

I have a Planet Ocean (& you've given me a perfect excuse for another gratuitous wrist shot )

That Молния looks like something from the '50s.

Lovely - all you need in a watch.

Only the dial is old (70 years?) the rest of the watch is fairly new, custom build with a Seagull ST36 mechanical movement.

Seagull -would that be the Chinese company that also made cameras (twin lens reflex designs)?

It seems there are two Chinese manufacturers called Seagull. One makes watch movements (in fact quarter of the global output! ), the other cameras: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagull_Camera.

If it’s losing or gaining half a minute a day by the end of the week it’ll either be three and a half minutes slow or fast. No biggy in my book, I don’t even wear the same watch for a week. If it hasn’t lost or gained any time (which I suspect will be the case) don’t panic Captain Mainwaring.

Over about 4/5 days watch appears to have gained 1 minute, so is within manufacturing specs of -+ 15-25 secs per day.

What brand is that? Looks like Omega?

They didn’t have a Mickey Mouse watch so I got a Deadpool one [emoji4]
