Classic!

Mars_AttacksMy older brother just picked these up for me this morning at the pawn shop.
They need a little TLC, but rest assured they will be beautiful soon.

I'll post the one I'm picking up later.
Wow that is so cool, 109 years. Is it broken or just needs a tune up?

Runs fast & erratically. Just needs a service.

r0guePretty cool Marsy! Looking forward to the results. Hope you can salvage the vintage (Teju?) lizard straps.

r0gueForgive my beating to death my
new-to-me Smiths. But I thought the pic was kinda cool in that the heat blue of the hands shows well in this lighting, and also cool in perspective.

That Seamaster reminds me of my Tag Heuer Carrera. Twins almost.

Don't, it's a great looking watch! I would be tempted, but I really want something for a 20mm strap.

Mars_AttacksMy watches my older brother got me came in today and there was a BONUS in the group!
The Longines runs PERFECT!!!! I think these are pre-WWII. I won't know until I get a crystal tool and open them as the movements come out the front.
And the unexpected BONUS!!!!!
A 1974 Bulova 228 Big Block!

My dad has his Hamilton Pulsar, which was a similar watch. He also has his dad's which was in gold. I don't know if they still work.

Mars_AttacksThe Omega turned out to be 18kt solid gold. BONUS DOUBLE SCORE!!!!!
It's getting a professional service, case polish and a new strap. The dial and hands will keep their well earned patina. I will proudly wear it.
