    Opted to wear the 1601 Datejust again today, but on a blue leather strap. Almost anything looks good on it. I think I am probably going to stick with the tan strap, but I was wearing blue today, so I switched it out today.

    Also, Polywatch came in today, so I will do that a bit later on. I also got some of the Cape Cod polishing cloths, so gonna try to remove some of the light scratches on these and my other watches. I am cautiously optimistic that I can make them look better!

    Wearing my Sub today - looks pretty much exactly like it did in Post 18876, except I have a different shirt on.

    Just for something different, this is my 1961 Rolex Oyster Perpetual. I am not wearing it today, so it may not be appropriate for this thread, but I still wear it somewhat regularly.

    Hadn’t worn this Tudor Pelagos in a while…bought it in 2017, as a “tide me over” til getting a Submariner. Intended to sell it after reaching that goal. Have since worked my way through the Rolex sport line, but glad I hung on to this one. So light (titanium) GREAT lume, and a classic look. If only I’d waited until 10:10 to snap this pic, as 6 pm is one of the least flattering times to show a watch… Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Rolex 1601 today - I switched it out for the brown strap again. Not sure which I like more, but leaning toward keeping the brown strap on it over the blue or the original bracelet. The original bracelet has some pretty good stretch, which I don't mind, but the leather straps are fairly comfortable.

    The original Jubilee bracelets are notorious for being junk. I take them off as soon as I get them. If I want a Jubilee I use an aftermarket one and they are great.

    The only advantage this one has is that it has the gold in it. I was told that the bracelet that came with mine was fairly rare - the clasp has an 18k gold crown on it. I don't think I have ever seen one like that - but again, my knowledge is extremely limited. Apparently it was an optional bracelet for a couple of years in the 70s. This one is a very late 1976, so I don't know.

    Do you have a source for a decent aftermarket bracelet by chance? I saw one at Strapsco, which I am sure is "gold-toned" so fairly cheap. I think it was about $40 or so. It would work and nobody around here would notice or even care, but if I can find something better, then I personally would feel better about it.

    Thank you for your wealth of knowledge about these DJs!

    Longines Quartz "Dupont" - the story is that years ago (guess is 1980s) someone retired from Dupont and this was their retirement gift - a Longines Quartz watch. The watch was put on a shelf in its original box and left there for all those years - never worn, never used. Well, I acquired it, removed the "new" stickers, replaced the battery and put it into my watch rotation. It is my only Longines as I just wanted to have one watch from the brand. Maybe one day I will work my way up to a Conquest or HydroConquest, but this will do for now.

    Interesting outer bezel. How do you use that?

    Along with the small inner dial, used to calculate an aircraft’s position in conjunction with a radio signal. Don’t ask me how…

    Today is a Vintage Vulcain. Not exactly sure of the model, maybe Sola? It has N9311A on the back of the case. It's a mechanical only watch - not an automatic. I learned about the history of these Vulcain watches and really wanted one - so I ended up with this one and another one. Maybe someday I will break down and splurge on one of their Cricket models. Anyway, thought I would share. It is reportedly gold-capped and this one came with what appears to be the original stretch metal bracelet, so my guess is that this watch is from the 70s.
