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

    I've posted this one before, but I'm wearing it today and thought I'd post it "in action": 1945 Omega "bumper" automatic. 18k yellow gold case. Banda custom alligator strap with 18k yellow gold vintage buckle (not seen):

    NASA Mission Patches

    They also sell these at Space Center Houston. I've seen them there when we've taken the kids down to see the JSC.

    Spectator Shoes

    Thanks everyone. I like them. Seems like I only wear monks in unusual configurations. I have this pair, then I also have a pair of brown suede AE Moras (wearing them right now as a matter of fact). Cookie, these are recent offerings. Bought them last year. Likely still part of the BB line.

    Spectator Shoes

    Here are mine: Can't wait until summer so I can get these babies back out of hibernation. They're great with linen pants. These are BB Peals. I have the double monk, but they also come in wingtip. I'd like to have a nice wingtip pair, but I don't think that I'd go for two of basically the...

    Anything in the coming months that you are excited for?

    Mi Esposa and another couple are planning a trip to LA in May. My wife's brother has a lounge act at the Cicada Restaurant in downtown LA on Thursday nights. We're coming in to see his show then generally cavort and look for trouble the rest of the weekend.

    Trousers: Top button/metal clip dates?

    Hard to answer that question because none of my trousers have the metal fastner. They all still use buttons. EDIT: I'm an idiot. All my trousers have this. Please disregard this inane post.

    Had a brush with Hollywood?

    I have a cousin named Dana who was named after Dana Andrews. Obviously my aunt and uncle were big fans...or at least liked the name for their son.

    Matching your partner?

    +1. One of my pet peeves when I go out is seeing couples dressed: She = Lovely dress & high heels. He = Untucked striped shirt, jeans and square toed shoes. However, I can't imagine wearing "matching" outfits. Just not for me. I'd be too afraid of a giant beer can falling on my head...

    Here's an easy one. Surprised that it doesn't seem to have been posted yet: "I am big. It's the pictures that got small."

    Pocketwatches

    +1. Also avoid if you carry a magnetic money clip. Sometimes even your computer monitor can have a magnetic field that can magnetize the hairspring. Beyond gaining time it can simply lock up and not run at all (which is what mine did).

    My first suit :)

    I suppose that the most important thing is that you are happy with the fit. However...:) one last thing and I'll shut up about it. Not sure where you've gotten the idea that well dressed guys from a certain era wore their clothes too baggy, but I'd suggest that you do a Google images search...

    My first suit :)

    :eusa_doh: Oh, thank God! I would say that it is a bit too big everywhere. You are a thin guy and the suit makes it look like you borrowed you big brother's clothes. To make it fit you you need to (at a minimum) get some taken out of the body (waist & chest). The sleeves are WAY too...

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

    Sorry. I didn't mean to put you to so much trouble. :o Your piepan and mine are nearly identical in age and composition then. I suspect they are the same caliber movement, though I don't exactly remember what mine is I think it's a 561 (it has the semi-quick set date function, not the...

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

    Really? That's interesting. I hadn't realized that the Connies combined the onyx stick markers and the date function quite as early as '57. Most of the '50's pie pans I've seen have the triangular markers or the sticks without the onyx inserts. I would have guessed more like mid-60's. You...
