Blimey that brings back memories. I had one of those - the calculator that is.

Very nice, thanks for posting those. I love watches from the early 70s, they make up about 85% of my collection!

I like a majority of the old 70s chronos people have posted but this is one of my faves along with the Lemania Silverstone that Ed335d posted too. Two watches I hope to be able to afford (and find) one day!

Hopefully next week I will have something interesting to post myself!

That's the first Omega Yachting chrono I've seen in the wild, a rere beast indeed. Apart from mine of course!

You need to get that internal scale ring sorted out though.

Thanks for the ones with colour guys!

Love the more colourful starps too!!

Nice change from steel/black indeed.

It was brand new when I took the pic, but could not resist the lights:

So many cool chronos on this thread. I really feel like Ive been missing out so today I took a few quick dirty shots of the only two chronos I own.

1. Omega Speedsonic: It seems that financ beat me too it by an hour but I'm posting mine anyway, as I have different 5 minute markers on mine. The mesh looks good however I've gone back to the bracelet on mine. I do really like the way the light catches the dial. It's a decent sized watch for my chunky wrists and I do have a soft spot for tuning fork movements. It needs a bit of work on the case, when I get the funds to do it.

2. Zenith El Primero TV / Big blue: I recently acquired this one early December and it has not left my wrist since. Again another 70's cool classic with a nice chunky design. I just can't seem to stay away from these blue dials either. Got a bit of minor work to do on it, hand polishing some of the minor scuffs off the case mirror finish just below the crystal and on the crystal itself.

Keep em coming everyone!

This is my most colourful at the moment. I do quite fancy another Mk II Racing, though!

**Jeff wilson** · 3rd January 2016, 11:17

Omega Big Blue.

Here's my Sinn 103 LE Blue

**chard101** · 6th January 2016, 15:33

One final photo of my latest incoming. It is an Omega Speedmaster Mark III with a blue dial. Please excuse the finger print, I was in a hurry.

That's it now, I'm skint! :-) I'm going to have to start selling things soon.

**henryviii** · 6th January 2016, 17:27

A little bit of yellow!

**Gardel** · 6th January 2016, 19:12

For £50k a nice birthday surprise?

**zelig** · 11th January 2020, 12:39

Recent arrival warrants a thread resurrection

I seem to have a thing for blue watches

**learningtofly** · 11th January 2020, 13:05

Holy...

Picked this up the other week, and can't stop wearing it having wanted one for years.

It’s a beauty.
Just don’t send it back to LVMH as I did mine.

My three most coloured currently

**Mr Curta** · 11th January 2020, 14:55

I like it when threads like this get bumped, although it's a shame that photobucket has screwed up so many of the original images.

Here are some more with a splash of colour.

Some very strong contenders there. I’m toying with selling my bb58 as I’m finding it’s lack of colour means I don’t wear it that much

**pepere13** · 11th January 2020, 16:40

I wear black dial watches mostly, with some exceptions though

I really fancy the Zenith Rainbow above, very nice piece !

Can’t edit my post for some unknown technical reason ... anyway, forgot this one

**ed335d** · 11th January 2020, 20:09

Shame so many pictures have been lost. Not sure what I posted originally.

Still have a few!
