Thanks for showing these.. I just picked up one like yours the other day.. Just need to get a replacement movement to get it going again as it has obviously been wet inside..

[lordflagpolecrabtree]

More to follow.....................

[cartshed]

thunbsup.gif Great stuff Dani. Particularly like the Sportsmatic's, you've got me itching to get one soon.

[Groundhog66]

Love the 7619, very tasty piece right there.

[donciccio]

Fantastic!! cheering-clapping-smiley-emoticon

[startsomething]

Great and diverse selection of some very interesting pieces!

Apart from the fact that I cannot bring my self to like gold plated pieces we have very similar tastes ;-) I particularly like the 6106 and 6206s!

Congrats and enjoy ;-)

Best,
Hermann

I like your dogged focus for dress watches on leather, some nice examples there Dani.

For the record the 7005-8190 I gave you  is pretty way out but 100% original.

thunbsup.gifThanks Mike. Duly edited !


I prefer leather straps to bracelets, and since most of the watches I buy seem to have naff or damaged bracelets, I change them where I can. Having said that, I have some that I have left as is because they simply don't look right on leather, and I have some that I would put bracelets on if I could.

[lordflagpolecrabtree]

Just realised it's a year ago since I first started this post.

Since then I have bought or obtained 40 more watches. I've got it baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad !

[scallopdiver]

Thanks a bloody lot........ thats another 2 on the shopping list lol.  Never knew about the Sealion, love diving with these fella's.
