What watch are you wearing today?

Today my Tapestry dialed DJ. It’s my stealth piece; it flys under the radar.

Those are great watches, and they are bulletproof.

 

Moser today, the picture doesn't really capture how good looking the sunburst dial is.

Looks like my Mets themed strap worked. I guess it stays like this till we get eliminated.

Is there a reason we're chocking the life out of your poor hand?

 

Lol. Just the angle and timing, I moved my hand to the right trying to get a good picture.

 

Move the buckle one hole down to restore circulation.

Beautiful Moser btw.

New to me... quirky at best.

Haha!

 

A Packard with a V-12 is something to behold! Frankly, Enzo went with the layout because the Packards made an impression on him - we made some amazing stuff back then! (both cars and watches)

How do you like it?

 

Amen!

Ordered a Ball Doolittle Raiders watch and it arrived Monday. It has the rainbow tritium marker tubes.

By far my favorite PP.

 

Quite a watch! However, it appears huge! I suspect my minute repeater (pocket) has a smaller diameter. (probably why people chop and channel Patek pocket repeaters into wristwatches.

BTW, while I'm a fan of Patek, and generally not of RM, of the pics you have posted, the RM was - by far - the coolest in combo with your ink.

Well, another parts watch arrived in really nice shape and is happily ticking away on my desk!

I don't have a picture, but I picked up (for stupidly cheap) a 1920 Illinois Watch Co. Model 10, Sangamo Special, 23J, 17S railroad grade pocket watch (Chronometer). It's an ebay special - I think it was so cheap because the seller really didn't know what it was: it was listed as a non-runner and one of it's prior owners hid it in plain sight: These were factory cased and came in yellow gold with a distinct dial, bow and hands. This one has the hands (incorrect sub-seconds hand), but the distinct dial and bow were replaced with a ordinary dial and bow and someone over-plated the original yellow gold case, which is otherwise in mint condition, in either white gold or chrome (probably white gold, but not certain). Well, another attempt to buy spare parts failed!

Oh, and I picked up a perfect original dial and a spare set of hands for the last one I posted (also bought for parts, still keeping almost perfect time).

For perspective, when new, these absolute top of the line American chronometers cost more than 1/3 of the price of a new Ford Model T. Using today's gold price as the conversion, these watches were just shy of $12,000 of today's dollars when new.

PS. Has anyone fiddled with (or know someone that has) laser welding gold? I'm thinking of touching up some blemishes on the previous one's case - it will be fun to completely bring back what was originally purchased for spares.

 

Fun times last night with dinner ….
