It appears so! I wasn't going to worry about a year either way when it comes to dating the serial number, but apparently a co-occurence of the 'discontinued' 1989 dial and the 'newly introduced' 1992...
Coming from you, that's massively reassuring. Thanks!
Dear all,
I've recently purchased my first Speedmaster but am now at a loss to determine the precise age of the watch. Three characteristics point to three non-overlapping time periods:
- it...
I tuck. Under both rings - with minimum flap for the cleanest look (I have tiny wrists)
Thanks for that analogy. I'll be using it on the wife whenever I'm justifying my next purchase :-)
Some watches can end up being vulgar because you associate them with a certain type of wearer. You know... when they have tried their best to cram as much money as they possible can onto their...
Had a slight panic attack because I couldn't browse SC yesterday but I think it was just a temporary side effect from the server upgrade. The look of the board is now great by the way!
Still on the fence whether I like it - but these pics show it off quite well!
Nice collection. I have to say I did like that Zenith though!
Being from the school of 'form should follow function' and a big fan of Modernist architecture and design... a resounding yes from me. To me an IWC Mk XV or a Speedmaster or a Sinn 356 look really...
Rob at monsterwatches.nl would definitely be able to do this.
Not sure what a fair price would be though. Also not so sure he'd make the 'deadline.'
As WISs and collectors we really should be buying at so-called 'trade' prices. ;-) Of course, on the other hand, the value-add that a dealer adds to a watch he bought cheaply at a non-specialist B&M...
That's beautiful, with a great strap as well by the looks of it.
Now... what is it exactly? :oops:
edit: Never seen this before, and all of a sudden I stumble into two pics of it in two...
Stunning! WIIGH
....
:wink: Nah, just kidding. It's a very weird watch to me, since I get this ironic geek-chic vibe from the design, but it also has some serious functionality (serious...
What's WOS? Whenever I travel to London I drop by the Arcade but if there's a better alternative nearby I'd like to know :mrgreen:
Ferrie comes highly recommended and is a nice guy to boot.
This madness started with a present for my secondary school graduation (now 16 yrs ago)...

You are a fantastic photographer... nice collection too :D
Welcome from a fellow Dutchman :D
I'd say that Datejust is a perfect complement to your collection...
Assuming she had a nice gift coming to her anyway... would you rather have spent it on a necklace/earrings/handbag etc?
Buying a watch for your lady is the best possible outcome. At least now...
I'm going out on a limb here and post this.

Love it. :D
Hi there Zinaida, welcome to the forum :)
Being Dutch myself I'm quite interested in finding out more about the history of Dutch military watches. Yours is the first I've ever seen - love the...

I'm a sucker for applied indices (nice and thin like on a...
Honestly, if you don't look at that lovingly and admiringly at least a couple of times a year... it's being wasted. If you really feel that it's 'just me watch' then maybe changing straps will make...
