    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Michaelson, as promised, a little show-and-tell:

    During my one month holiday back in the Good 'Ole U.S. of A., I received this watch that my parents had been saving for me since the death of my Grandfather last year.

    It's a Longines wristwatch, housed in white gold with four diamonds on the face. It's in perfect running order with only casual wear on the metal. Not even a scratch on the crystal. My Grandfather was a man of taste!

    Michaelson, any idea on a year for this watch?

    Kind regards,
    Indy

    Re: My New Watch by Michaelson

    From the case design and face, it looks to be from the early to mid 1930's, but if you can get a jeweler or watchmaker to get me the movement number, I can try to get a more definitive answer for you. Just a beautiful time piece, my friend. You're very fortunate to have this. Speaking of which, I just picked up a 1934 Hamilton 910 12s pocketwatch myself. Lots of good stuff out there right now. High regards. Michaelson

    The 'Howard' and 'South Bend' pocketwatches seen on the right hand side are considered EXTREMELY collectable these days...especially the Howard, which command very high prices in the collectable market. Regards. Michaelson

    It looks great. Tank watches are my favorite timepieces of all time. Cheers

    Correction to above....after receiving my Hamilton 910 and checking the movement number, I've discovered it's from 1922, not 1934! And still in great shape and keeping time within 5 seconds a day. Not to shabby for a watch this old! Regards. Michaelson
    (Thanks for tranfering this post over, Paul. This is one nice watch he owns, and deserves to be seen again!)

    Bogart's Watch

    Good day, gentlemen.
    I want to get a new watch for christmas. I want something really stylish, but I want understatement too. Somesthing that will last a lifetime.

    Mr. Bogart came to my mind. Is it known what kind of watches he wore? I know Longines is advertising with him, but that has nothing to say. There is a offer right now, where I can get a Rotary flip-watch for the half price. What do you think of them?

    Regards,
    Redbeard

    Interesting.

    Tank Watch

    I know it is a bother to wind every day, though I just love the look and the feel of having something mechanical strapped to my wrist.

    Vintage Hamilton Boulton wristwatch.

    First and only vintage watch I have had. Gold filled and keeps time very well. I wear it daily.

    Looking for my Emma Peel.
