Watches - another OCD problem
-
Thanks, Davito. Not worn it for years, had to dig out the photo. I did enjoy it though, in its day. Relatively flat and if I leave mine out in the sun all day, or on the windowsill, I can still get maybe 30 seconds of glow from it. A bit of the 60s in that glow. They also made the same model with a date like nizzel55's….I think I have another one somewhere, much later gold quartz w/italicized face. Don't know what I was thinking of. Must have been a trade.
Here's another, with old radium, all gone though, from perhaps a bit later, the early 70s?, by Titoni.

Love the Tissot. Reminds me very much of the Omega Rail watch. Funny how Omega and Tissot share so much history and are now owned by the same group.

Or do you mean this Tudor Sub :p
-
That really does look great @Anesthetist I think I prefer it on the NATO too.
-
^ Funny, coz I can't get a Tudor Sub off my wrist. @Anesthetist:
Or do you mean this Tudor Sub :p
HAHAHAHA. DAMN.

So gorgeous! At a loss for words man!

Thank you @davito and @Anesthetist !
-
bravo @babyknight
-
Gorgeous @babyknight Could I bother you for a side on picture while on the wrist so I could get a feel for the thickness of the case? Only if you have the chance, of course.
-
Thank you @madmonday
Sure @Qinhan, here's quick photo with my cellphone - not the best quality but hopefully you get the idea. As with I think most vintage Rolex/Tudor from this era, it's really not that thick especially compared to the modern pieces. It has enough presence to be a sports watch without being overbearing.

Thanks @Qinhan , yes I definitely am! It was not a model I was specifically looking for but when I saw the condition of it I moved very quickly - it's a relatively rare model (only produced for a short space of time) and I know enough to know that one doesn't see them in this condition very often at all.
The dealer I bought it from actually just got it from Japan and had it in the US for a couple of days before I was able to snag it.
As with all my vintage pieces, they will be occasional wears rather than daily wears. I wouldn't wear it with a suit but with anything else it goes great.

I love it when I see Babyknight has posted in this thread. Always quality pieces!
@Flash Let me know if I can be of any help with info on copping a Tudor in HK. I'm not sure if you want a Black Bay or vintage. The BB you can get cheaper over here than the UK (particularly if you know an ''auntie'' who works for a watch chain like me, hehe). Retail for the BB with bracelet is HKD 26,800. Vintage Tudor subs are not common - I mostly see the Big Block chronos - but the Vintage Concept has a few for big boy prices… www.thevintageconcept.com
