£/$300+ now, for a plastic disposable watch!

No but I wish it was an original
I remember seeing one for sale 15 or so years ago for £1500. There was conjecture around their originality.
Oh if I had known then what I know now…
I did not even know it existed! I thought the original seikosha was too much of a niche watch to get an homage. Or is it a custom built?
I wish I picked up myself an original B-uhr when the prices were still "ok", but as far as I understand the seikosha are even rarer, so good luck with that!
150 were made for a Spanish forum a few years ago, I picked it up from here though.
Originals of these are rocking horse poo compared to B-Uhrs, I have a hankering for one of them as well.
It’s highly unlikely I will ever hold an original Seikosha let alone own one!
This week, I are mostly been wearing...

This is a firm favourite of mine
1982 Fatboy arrived back from service yesterday. That’s 4 that have been serviced in recent months and a huge thank you to olli of this parish who is the go to guy for these watches.

Here’s what it looked like before it went.

I quite often wear one of the three RAF-issued Smiths "6B" watches (1940s WW2 "Mk X", 1950s GS De Luxe and 1960s 6B "W10")
All made in Cheltenham (the dials were printed at Burford at the other end of the Cotswolds; cases of the first two were made by Dennison in up in Birmingham)

Not too sure if this qualifies, but it arrived a few days ago and I'm liking it a lot more than expected.

A diver might have been a better option today.
I'm wearing this issued W10 from 1983 for a change today, simply because I like the lume! :pig:

So glad I own this.

It must be because it says so on the dial

One of the rarest or the rarest GSAR for me today. I love this watch.
Blackened, silver cased Bulova USAAF A11.

Here you go Ken.
Scott is the go to expert for US A11 / A11 and ord. watches
https://watchmakerscott.com
I guess he might be open to discounts if contacted via MWR rather than his retail site. Who knows?
Anyway, when I got interested in military watches, 12 years or so ago, US A11, ORD, A17, MilSpec watches were readily available on EBay, $75 to $150 items if I remember correctly, easy to buy, flip, buy, flip, buy. Not easy with current availability and prices.
I think I would sell my silver A11 and hand deliver it on a velvet cushion for nearly £600!

Another GS sapphire here. Got it last week, very impressed so far with the understated quality of it. A nice addition to my CWC fleet.

Having had a look back through this thread I realised I have not worn a few watches for months / years
So out they will come over the next few days
