Let's see your mechanical watches

looks good on the bund strap

Thanks! Gives it that early 70s look.

My very first mechanical watch, Nivada, hand-wound, 17 jewels, 50+ years old.

Leather strap with extra cool cowboy application and rivets for the aspiring sandbox-rocker…

Pulled this one out for the weekend.

This is a Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer that was discontinued several years ago. It's a military style manual wind, I had the strap made from my fathers US Army duffle.

I didn't realize this thread was so old, I posted the same pic information about six years ago..... Sorry.

No worries. Not like the watches disappear with time. Fun to see yours again and the strap. Well done on the strap!

When I have more time, I'll have to look up how many autos I have purchased since I last posted on this thread. This one was from late '23. New strap recently from WOE, which I really like, has got me wearing it more often. Even with an 8" wrist I find the 43mm just too big. I pretty much max out at 40mm. Only reason I still own it is the accuracy. The most accurate mechanical watch I have ever owned. Legibility and its long power reserve (70hrs) is the other bit of charm with this one.

Picked this up a few months ago from the original owner. He purchased it in 1995 and hardly wore it.

Received this as a present to myself. They don't seem to be popular but it is a great in house movement with Geneva seal. View attachment 760646

I LOVE the Quai de Lille(?)(excuse my french hehe), such an underrated watch and one I would go for myself if I ever get the pleasure to buy myself a VC, very nice mate!

I've been using my Casio F-91W(aka the terrorist watch) since I sold my Speedy and Citizen AQ-4020 this past fall, as I really fell out of the "watch game" for a while and felt the money would be better spent on leather jackets haha.

Out of nowhere I get a call from my lovely mother saying she found a watch in a random box, and lo and behold there it was, my first ever mechanical/"real watch" watch that I got as a 16y birthday present, and a watch I've been searching for years! really thought it was a goner but surprise surprise

The watch in question is a Seiko SKX009! which in my opinion at least, looks as good today as it did back then all those years ago when I first got it a classic for sure! I just need to get it to my watch guy/wizard for a check up as it runs to fast,

Enough rambling here are some pictures

I was so happy getting this one back that it really kickstarted my watch obsession again haha, so now I have 5 vintage watches on the way... my bank account wont be as happy...

Cheers!

Out and about today. Picked the Hamilton to go with the outfit.

Been sniping some auctions lately for some 33-36mm watches for nothing really, a lot of people don't want a watch that small it seems, more for me I guess
