Watches - another OCD problem
-
Is this room a bit dead? Pity! I've been collecting watches for a long time, and even work on a limited number of them myself. I like restoring old watches and have a fondness for anything before the 60's, though my collection spans over a hundred years with all in pretty regular rotation. Current favorite? I'm looking across the room to see what's on the desk. I see the Cartier tank. I think there's a Seiko MM diver on the winder. There's a chronograph by Unimatic. There's a moonswatch I picked up at a thrift store in Southwold, that I think is probably fake but I don't care.

new to me…..This one is charming …. Mother of pearl dial, manual wind… power reserve, date button…. What’s not to love???

@truby would love her in the sun. What a masterpiece.

@truby MoP dials can be truly elegant in the hands of a brand that knows how to use them. They can also be flamboyant. This obviously is the former version. I have an older Hermes Cape Cod around somewhere with a MoP dial and the CC font...it's the only example I have that comes close to looking this good.

@truby One of the coolest Langes I’ve seen. The MOP is stunning!
Is the strap original?
The above comment should be read with all the levity your current metal state will allow.

@truby absolutely stunning! The strap works with it perfectly as well.

Just got back from Japan. Tokyo is amazing for vintage watches - especially JDM models - so I picked up a Seiko Speedtimer 6139-7060 from my birth year! More than 52 years old but mint dial and original bracelet.

@chiverus I am a Seiko junkie! I've dreamt of going watch picking in Japan, maybe more than going denim picking.

@StarsSuck if you ever get the dream trip arranged I can send you a list of amazing watch shops
Hi @chiverus - I would love that list, if you don't mind. I will be in Japan in 5 weeks. I will be travelling around, but I have the most time to shop in Osaka.

Yes is a pain but the battery lasts years so not too bad.
I do have a easier to access Tuna also but doesn’t get much wrist time these days.

@chiverus I would be super keen to see that list, heading to Japan for the first time later this year.
