Watch of Today

[Marc]

I'm rather enjoying this thread. It's making me think a bit more about the watch that I put on in the morning.

Today it's an Audax.

[SeveP64]

I like the hour markers on that Audax.

[Geo]

I would be proud to wear your Audax Marc, it's a cracker! The only other Audax I've come across, was the ladies cocktail watch I repaired.

[mk3]

Today I grabbed this pretty much as I got up late after barely any sleep and it was the first watch I laid my hands on. It is a Jaz Paris Quartz fashion watch.

I love the dial on that Audax watch!

[mwilkes]

Jealous of that Audax. Want it. 

 

It's a seiko 5 day for me:

 

[Marc]

Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's Audax, it seems to have been well received.

Today it's a Vertex Revue.

One of my smaller vintage watches but very comfy and an excellent time keeper.

[mk3]

Nice!, keep them coming!

 

Today I grabbed a Tag to wear.

[Geo]

I used to wear a Vertex as my everyday watch a couple of years ago. Excellent choice Marc!

Hi all,

 

Wearing this Vulcain 'Meteor II' today. Don't you just love these funky names? I've always had a soft spot for Vulcain..a lot of it is due to the name itself and the logo (as on the caseback below)..

 

Inside is nothing spectacular.. just an ETA2452...tried and tested (sorry no pics)!

Oh and its on a stretch Speidel bands. I don't usually like these stretchy bands but I made an exception in this case as the ends match the case perfectly.

I bought my wife a NOS ladies Vulcain for her Christmas a couple of years ago, and it's here everyday watch. It's also a watch name I like, and I keep hoping to pick up a Cricket sometime.

Wearing my 'party watch' made of ebay Bits:

 

 

 

I 'pimped' the ETA 6498 movement (polished the wheels, blued the screws and made the plates curvy).

 

 

Keeps perfect time but MAN it's a loud tick

 

Yes, I know the strap's the wrong size :-)

 

[Marc]

It's a Mondia for me today.

My first "proper" watch was a Mondia Sea Scout. It was my 16th birthday present from my parents and I still have it, but it was the start of my interest in Mondia watches and I now have 5 of various vintages. This one was an eBay non-runner that required no more than a service and clean up.

Seiko SKX173, 7s26a 0029

 

 

Came to me not running, missing a roller jewel. My first complete tear down, clean and repair. Also first semi successful hairspring mangle  :)

[mk3]

Some great watches again today! Today I wore an old Ingersoll watch. 

 

 

[Blacklab]

Think I will give the old Sportsmatic 15040 an airing tomorrow:

better clean it up a & bung a strap on it

that's better.

[Geo]

I'm still "road testing" the Omega I repaired recently, as my friend not available for another week or so! :)

[Marc]

Nice job on that Sportmatic BL.

Geo I reckon you earned that test drive several times over.

I was out on site today so went for something a little more robust than I would for the office.

Citizen Promaster, a nice big solid reliable chunk.

[mk3]

I love the dial on that Omega.

 

Today I grabbed this Seiko Alarm Chronograph watch to be my watch of the day. You don't see many of these around anymore or fully working ones, especially considering that they used to be so popular at one time.

 

 

[Blacklab]

Last minute change, wore this instead:

Seiko 418970 from 1964

[clockwatcher]

Today it's an Audax.

Marc you should wear it on Sunday to commemorate the 600th anniversary of Agincourt! :-)

[mk3]

Today I went with a Longines Wittnauer Automatic watch, these actually have a ladies watch movement inside them, probably to keep it slimline.

 

 

[mk3]

Today a Seiko Eco-Drive watch, needs a little cosmetic work still.

I thought it was about time to put this topic to bed......   I win.
