Wow, watchfans on this forum?
Quite a watchfanatic myself, or at least I used to be, lacking the cash for it these days and quite happy with the watches I currently own (although I really do "need" to get a blue Tag Monaco and I would really really like a IWC ingenieur in steel).
I am currently wearing a Omega Speedy pro (good to see there's more of those around thumbs up

). When I'm on business travels I mostly have my Breitling Aerospace, since that's insanely accurate.
I have some other older omega's, longines, but I hardly ever wear vintage stuff. As a beater watches, there are a Davosa Submariner lookalike and a Suunto Core on a orange strap.

My father repaired mechanical watches as a sideline when I was a child so I've always been fascinated.

Some of my collection, many have display backs but are not in my web space at all.

(This Roland Murphy 222 is a cased early 1940s pocketwatch movement).

The MIH watch in the center is kind of an interesting piece.

some beautiful watches

I used to subcontract in Seiko Japan from about 03-07.
The mechanical watch dept hated the digital guys and vice-versa. Constant rivalry over whose products used the least power and were the most accurate.
The vibes of the two groups were very different, mechanical were relatively bohemian, even one member was openly gay, which is virtually taboo in corporate japan. The digital group were strictly led by a control freak wanker...... hihi

he didn't like me at all.

they go to incredible lengths with their designs, spend months to get a spring the right shape and tension.
There is a good watch museum in the base of their Makuhari office (near Tokyo) worth a look if you are into watches.

I think you're on to something here...

Although I own a few quartz watches that I think are cool, most of my timepieces are mechanical, namely:

Limes (Nightflight & Pharos)
Eterna (Pulsometer)
Omega (Vintage Seamaster)
Dolphin (24 Hour [Russian])
Breitling (B2)
Temption (GM2)
Accutron (Mechanical Diver [kind of an oxymoron])
Seiko (Orange Monster)
Olech & Wajs (Chronotime)
Zodiac (Astrographic)

I can post pics if anyone is interested. Check out the poor man's watch forum if you haven't all ready done so.

Later,
Slime

Definitely interested in photos, some of those I very rarely see and some I've never seen.

Oh wow, that Nautilus is definitely on the list as well, stunning piece!

New addition, I finally fulfilled the desire for a 300m tuna.
Not a mechanical, but the 7c46 is not your typical quartz movement.

YES, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, A lange and Sohne.
Currently saving for a nice watch when I get to 18, hopefully and Vacheron or Patek of some sort.

Well, I am a professional watchmaker so I guess you could say I'm "into" them. I mostly don't spend any money on them since I work on them all day long, I guess I get my fix there! I do have a small collection of vintage Chronograph movements with no cases (the movement being the interesting part!) and I am selling my Serge to start building clock movements (and cases if I have to)

You guys do have nice collections. Can I take them apart?

This Is A Fascinating Thread
I Have Always Liked Watches Also Had A Few Nice Ones In My Time But Tend To Sell Them When I Want A New Bit Of Kit .Anyway The Reason For MY Posting Is This
I Always Do The Local Boot Sales Ect Looking For Records Anyway I Picked This Up For Silly Money But Think It's A Fake And A Jeweler Friend is Not Even Sure So What Do You Guys Think

After looking at it for about 3 seconds (and without being able to see the small seconds hand) I'm sorry to tell you I'm quite certain it's a fake.

I don't mean to insult your jeweler friend but there are numerous issues with the dial and I'm not even much of a Panerai buFf.

I should point out that it IS a very good fake and would fool 99.9% of the population quite easily (if that's what you're aiming for anyway)

A real WIS who knows what to look for is very rare out in the real world.
