    Subs looks so much better on a strap. The bracelet does not suit the design of the watch, IMO.

    There is something about the chunky 1970s watch. Is it coming back?
    Maybe not, judging by the $35 and $45 prices I have paid for these two examples. They are not anything special, I guess, but I was intrigued by the transistorized, yet somewhat mechanical movement. They are branded as Stellaris, but this was a Sears brand in the early to mid 1970s. The seller on fleabay put a new canvas band, so the mod effect was complete.

    I thought I would post up a pic of the movement (Transistorized SWISS ESA 9157 Electronic Movement), which I do not see too often in this thread (I guess it is G-rated)

    Power Watch today.

    Bought this Yachtmaster for my father almost 10 years ago but now at close to 85, he asked me to take it back because he is struggling to set the time properly because the mechanism isn't the easiest.

    I enjoy wearing a watch that I know he has proudly worn for many years.

    I am the new custodian of this beautiful example of a Solid Pair Case Georgian Period Verge Watch
    Signed : G. MALTON of LONDON
    Beautiful Rich Gilding
    Stunning Piercing and engraving on the balance cock and plate
    Perfect working order and ticks beautifully in all positions.
    Lovely blueing !!!
    Came with three repair papers.
    Solid Silver Case in mint condition.
    Arabic Numeral Dial
    Original Bullseye Glass

    This was made in LONDON Hallmark (B) in the year 1797

    Can you imagine what tools and resources were available in London in 1797 and how it was possible to make such a complicated and ornate timepiece?

    I'm absolutely amazed with this thing.

    Very nice watch man. Great to see you have inherited back off your old man.

    Enjoy it for as long as you can, then pass it down onto your children or grandchildren.

    Love it, very nice.

    Congrats, excellent taste.

    I love these watches.

    Beautiful! Enjoy my friend!
