My Watches (So Far!!!)

[vaguras]

Hello guys,

 

after being introduced myself, I would like to share with you my watch collection so far:

To begin with, my everyday watch a Swiss Davosa (model insight - discontinued) with the robust ETA 2824-2:

 

 

An older automatic Citizen watch with a 6001 caliber (from 1976 - year of my birth as well). I found it in a drawer of a retired old watch repairer non working and managed to give its life back! 

 

 

Next, goes a Citizen eco-drive the popular nighthawk model, a gift from my wife some years ago:

 

 

A classic new series (from 2010) SEIKO 5 automatic, bought second hand from fleamarket as NOS only 40 Euros :

 

 

An old SEIKO 6319 with the TV style case, a gift from an old friend, non working at the moment since the balance spring is torn!

 

 

Another SEIKO (what else haha), a hand wind one, Skyliner from 1967, repaired by me after a serious drop of my friend's father, who wore it while he was building a house from scratch. Fortunately only the pallet fork was broken and the acrylic crystal:

 

 

An automatic YEMA sous marine, with a FE (Franche Ebauche) 4611A bought lat year as NOS for 30 Euros:

 

 

Last but not least an old classic Longines 23Z from 1954 bought recently and trying to repair (needs a new mainspring as the old one is set and a new setting lever screw):

 

 

 

That's all folks!!!

You have some nice pieces there Vaguras. Be warned, this is very addictive hobby and it looks like you are in the early stages of the dreaded "Watchitus"! :)

Well chosen collection Vaguras, I was not familiar with the Davosa brand and find it a looker but then your collection has been well chosen!

A great collection Vaguras, I like the look of that Longines that will be a stunner when repaired

Photos of the movements as promised!!

First the old citizen of 1976 (cal. 6001):

 

 

 

The Davosa with the ETA 2824-2 (nothing fancy here):

 

 

The Longines 23Z from 1954 (notice how the bad setting lever screw has damaged the barrel plate!)

 

 

My regular seiko 7s26:

 

 

The old SEIKO 6319 with the missing balance (fortunately I have found a replacement!):

 

 

The handwind SEIKO Skyliner of 1967:

I apologize for the not so good  quality of the photos, but I do not have a macro lens on my camera yet (an olympus E-PM1-mini mirrorless).

 

Cheers
