I love vintage watches especially on straps, here's a few of my favourites let's see your watches.
Thanks to Tom Dick for helping me source the Gold crown for the GP Omega Ranchero.
my most worn is the IWC cal 8531 the same movement as in the 666 ingenieur. I struggled to photo the amazing Patina.
I'm starting to love the Zenith 40T chronometre I'm thing of found an extract from tge achieves on it.

@OxOCuBe Sure - it’s a 1968 De Ville chronograph 145.017 with a cal. 860 manual-wind movement. I gather this is pretty much a two-register version of the Speedmaster movement. It’s just 35mm diameter but as you can see it wears nicely. I love it.
Here is another bit of ostrich leg.
And a different type of leather strap. It isn’t a small watch, it’s a b***** big strap.
Here's 3 of my favourites, although the Omega day/date's now back on the original bracelet.
Here's the Seamaster Deville I bought last year after a lengthy search, looks great on leather but I've swapped it to a gold bracelet I`ve owned for years.
how many years to become a forensic anthropologist
Here's an early 60s Seamaster 600 hand-wound, been in the projects drawer for a couple of years in a sorry state, finally got around to restoring it last year to sell, then decided to keep it. The dial was in poor condition so I had it refinished, see the contrast in finish between this and the Deville which is original, the fine sunburst effect in the silvering makes all the difference to how the light reflects of the dial.
It's fair to say my interest in vintage Omegas has been rekindled over the past few years!

I only have the one vintage watch, this rather small, hand wound, 9ct Tudor Royal, from 1959. I inherited it from my Grandfather.
The strap is a bit nondescript "Smiths" branded from the1980's I guess. Time for a new strap I think.

My granddad's old Marvin that he apparently "liberated" from a dead German soldier, from the war I hasten to add. Didn't just mug a bloke in the street for it. Had it lightly serviced and cleaned. Before and after shots. I should wear this more often.
