Anyone into watches?

I have a simple requirement for my watches now, in that it has to be analog (nothing digital), and it has to display the day of the week AND the date. Those three requirements eliminate a whole bunch of watches from consideration. In a previous life, I was a canon fire direction control specialist, and used my G-Shock in the field a lot. That was a perfect watch for the environment, getting banged against all kinds of metal, dusty, hot, dark, etc. The digital functions helped with time hacks for time-on-target fire missions, time of flight calls to the forward observer, etc. But now I just want to glance down and see those hands, the day of the week, and the date.

 

Love my simple Omega Aqua Terra. Also have a few Tags and Rolex.

 

Scored a clasp for the 7205 fairly cheap. It says its for a lady's datejust and its 13mm wide which is what i need. The 585 Rolex 7205 clasp is around $1,200 so this is a cheaper route and I dont really like the gold clasps.

 

I find myself going for the 31mm. It has the 13mm USA clasp, riveted, but with 17mm endlinks.

The guy wants $700 for the original 585 clasp, which is a wise investment, these bracelets are getting harder to find.

 

This 20mm riveted band from 1965 is going for like $10k+, the prices are out of control!

 

Here it is! That's $10,0000.00!

 

Its hollow but heavy?

 

I had to extract an old crusty spring bar. I used a 1/16th drill bit and spun it out.

 

Its heavy my arm is getting tired wearing it.

 

I feel like SuperMan! Wheres the stock truck?

 

Thats "The Call of the Wild" right there!!!!
Im seeing gold bars. This "Bullseye" dial is so well preserved from 1958, the laquor is perfect.

 

Its heavy, but light. Its smooth, but not polished.

 

Its gonna fall off right into the trout pond.

 

The previous owner said his Grandmother wore it every day.

One more thats it. I calculated about $45 a gram of 14k. So Im sure I can sell it for that If need be. These links are going for $500 a piece.

 

Apple watch has nothing on me.




$5!

 

My Mom got this watch for free. It sincs to your phone through an app. Measures blood suger, heart rate, all kinds of stuff.

 

Well, atleast they will know when I stroke out from my credit card bill.

 

The 7205 is 43 years old incase anyone cares.

 

"Tacky" or "50 Cent"?

 

Just ordered a new watch (Alpinist) and they sent me a pic before it was shipped.

Always been a Seiko fan.

 

Nice and creamy.

 

I've got the cream on! Taxes?

 

Here’s my two…..love’’em…….

 

I paid my taxes on the 5513. Got a reciept with scoped pics and all the details. Should be worth alot more now.

 

I broke out the "Gay Freres". I was just telling my hair stylist about it at the salon.

 

What I meant to say was:
Im broke so Im wearing my "Gay Freres".
