Inbound vintage Omega that I couldn't pass up. Vintage stuff tends to be small, but I can pull it off because I am.... small. Smile

Stickman's Casio got me sentimental about mine. I have one and will post photos of it with my 1960 Hamilton Rodney that was my Grandfathers after the new strap comes in. The Casio has been with me to Ecuador, Turkey, Saudi, and a bunch of other places since 1998.

That's the FIRST B&R I have seen that I actually like. Most are very unattractive. Beautiful watch!

I generally like the B&R watches, because of their chunky style. With my skinny wrists, I could never wear one though. The B&R that Seotaji posted is frickin' gorgeous!




God bless America.

That's the watch they use to hit with the hockey stick in the commercials.

I say if you like it who gives a shit what anyone else thinks. Thanks for posting.

Those people suck. I love my G-Shock. Since discovering them, I always make sure there is one in my stash.

To hell and back reliability is how I would describe them.

I've taken mine below sea level, wayyyyy above it, frozen and roasted.

I don't need to set it, it never needs a battery and I can always count on it. All for $50.

Not really sure precisely. Late 50s for sure.

Darnit, Matthew! You've reignited my internal debate over keeping or selling my Hamilton. Razz


Well let's see it, maybe your SF friends can provide further reinforcement. Smile

This one needs a new band, but I can't find a NATO that is as nice as what Hamilton provided, it is a leather lined fabric NATO type.

I kinda want a nice custom Bund strap. At one time I found a guy who made them from old baseball gloves or surplus military leather cartridge belts/carriers. They were expensive, but super cool and high quality.

Okay, wise guys (Matthew and r0gue). Wink Here we go with some crappy photos. It's a standard Khaki Automatic, purchased in 2008, I believe. I've got the paperwork around here somewhere....

I've hardly worn it, and I'm not sure why. I wanted a Hamilton for so long, found this one and snapped it up, and then I keep wearing my beataround Seiko all the time. Confused
I wonder if maybe it's just because the band is so stiff... maybe swapping bands would get me to wearing it more often.











God bless America.

You know, the band would soften right up if you would only wear the thing. Razz

I vote keep it , but only if you are going to let it see the light of day. Smile

Thanks! The upper crown rotates the inner bezel thus there is no external bezel to rotate for diving. Very "Sea Hunt"! Smile

This weekends vintage watch pickup. 1950s Omega Seamaster

The strap and dial sold me on this watch. It's a period correct Teju lizard strap. As far as I can tell this watch is all original. It came with a box. For all I know that too is original. But that strap. It's to die for. Elegant, yet rough. Thought my SF buds would dig it's vintage nature.
