Nice watch.  I've played with that one a few times at the store and like the white, grey and blue dials.  Hard to decide which color is better when you see them all in person.

I ended up listing some items and would entertain HC pricing, but no trades unfortunately:

yeah, they are a lot of fun, but looking to try something else... perhaps the Omega 8508..

This one is my favourite, a 40 years old 23 jewels automatic Seiko. Non Stop, no service, and some electrical discharges...

My father had that same watch. 

Maybe slightly different face, but same case. 

It's still in Customs in Chicago

Actually it moved out of Customs yesterday morning and it left Champaign at 4:40 this morning.

Noice!  I've actually been wearing my Suuto Core (black) again the last few weeks and remembering why I bought it in the first place. 

I got rid of my stupid activity tracking watch and I've been rotating through my Zenith El Primero, Breitling Emergency and Suunto Ambit 2 on a daily basis. Each one is different but I think I probably like tha Ambit the best.

I wish the Elementum line wasn't so expensive.

Yeah. I want the D9TX dive watch but I haven't gone diving in a decade or more. It's just very cool.

This thread makes me want a nice new warch, but I'd break/damage it at work real fast.

Seiko SARX015

Thanks Reks and Posty. Still need to adjust the date and band.

It is really nice. The craftsmanship is very good and I love it's overall simplicity. Excellent suggestion sir.

Classy!

I picked up this black Luminox Colormark up last week with a partial trade of a couple of Eco-Drive perpetual calendar chronographs.  It's the steel version with screw down crown and case-back.

 

I'm down to one titanium Eco-Drive perpetual calendar now, but I wear my Luminox 1842 Field Chronograph more anyway.  I love the tritium gas tubes for night viewing (thought about buying Marc's Ball swiss auto for that reason).  

 

So, now I have a black Colormark to go with my previous white one (below). They're very comfortable, but I did replace the rubber strap with another Luminox strap that fits me a little better.

 

 

 

 

This is a watch thread, right?  As I have mentioned, I grew up in the antique business.  My father left behind a lot of stuff.  I found this today while cleaning:

 

 

Dunno a thing about it.

Dunno anything other than it looks beautiful.

Agree on the looks

 

google via http://elginwatches.org/help/serial_number_info.html would make it c. 1908

 

if you can get the serial number off the movement you can use http://elginwatches.org/databases/elgin_sn_intro.html

It seems people obsess over these things http://elginwatches.org/index.html like headphones ...

I dont know if it will be any help, but the odd dial just below the 12'oclock position (from 40 to 0) appears to be a winding indicator.

Fob watches are cool.  Now get a monocle.

Waistcoat, gold chain, Top Hat, gloves and (sword) cane not included.

With some considerable care, I got the thing open.  More photos later.

Great aunt's pocket watch. We had it repaired a few years ago along with my great grandmother's mantle clock
