Watch of Today

furrybarry · June 25, 2018

Driving the desk today, so got an OG desk diver on the go.

Duward Aquastar Oceanic. A 200m rated EPSA Super Compressor with an Adolph Schild 1903 movement. Keen to find a 21** version of this movement to play with if anybody has one laying about.

Reminds me of a Tissot, down to the flat-side caseback!

Yep. The Tissot Visodate was an EPSA manufactured compressor case for a while, then they did their own version

Squale feels like summer.

Wearing this old thing today. Its probably from the early-mid 80s and its survived! The pushers are a bit weak in that you need to press them a few times.

Anyone else have an old digital?

Got the time side to work but the chrono just refuses. Can't figure it out. Maybe circuit block?
I'll wear it as is for now on a matching leather strap.

It's a looker ,...so good luck getting it all working....

Although my oysterquartz is my favorite Rolex for timekeeping, this Roman White Dial has been my favorite Rolex to wear. I think its because you mostly see this model with a fluted bezel on a jubilee bracelet, which I think looks terrible.

ricardopalamino · September 6, 2018

Well , as they say ,....Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....

Here's what I have been wearing today....

Horologent · September 6, 2018

Agreed.....no offense of course.

Im just not a fan of the rolex fluted bezels...not even on the DJII

Even on my stainless I much prefer the engine turned, although if I could have had smooth I think it would have looked better with he tapestry dial.

No offense taken at all .

I really wanted this Submariner for a while , and paid dearly to get it ...

Then after I got it , I didn't wear it at all . And to add insult to injury , I lost about 2K as soon as I walked out the door with it .

I recently traded it for an Omega Moon to Mars watch a couple of Baume Mercier watches , a Cherry Seiko diver , and a very Blingy 14k gold an diamond ring . And I feel good about the trade ,....go figure .

I do like the Omega....

Y'all do have some mighty fine looking watches there! I admire Rolex for its build quality, but Omega is my preferred piece.

Been wearing this today
Bought for the price of a large Pizza Hut pizza. It was in a right state.

Looked like this when I got it...

No crystal and God knows what it was covered in.

That watch looks like it's covered in Moon Dust ....

Nice job cleaning it up . Is it supposed to have a center second hand ?

Yeah looked even more horrible than the pics.
Yes, new set of hands on the way from VTA down under.

I would take an Omega over a Rolex any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The orange bezel PO is awesome.....Ive had a couple speedys and seamasters over the years....loved em, but that co-axial is redonkulous. I have an Omega coming soon that i think everyone will get a kick out of.....

Horologent · September 7, 2018

Heres one not many people have seen.....limited run of only 350 pieces worldwide back in the day before Tiger got beaten up by his wife.

The best part of this watch isn't the limited run or the VVS diamonds......its that it keeps +2 sec per day and its not COSC

Horologent · September 7, 2018

Let’s go back to the days when Heuer became Tag Heuer. The is the black ip professional all lume dial. This was available as both Heuer and Tag Heuer depending on where and when you bought it. It was also featured in a James Bond film before the days of Rolex and omega.

Amazingly, the lume is still bright and clear, just doesn’t last as long as it once did. This beauty is too small for me now and I lost the extra links long ago, so it sits on my bench to be my time setter after changing batteries.
