    show your vintage dress watches

    Inspired by NeilC's thread, here is my current vintage dress selection.
    1. Kingston Observatory Hull hand wind. a local watch for local people! 1950's?
    2. Omega Constellation C shape, auto 1968
    3. Bulova His Excellency gold filled hand wind 1948
    4. Fortis hand wind, 1960's? small at 30mm and needs a new crystal.
    5. Cornavin hand wind square case . 1960's? needs some help as the second hand has come loose.
    6. Girard Perregaux 9955 hand wind, 1950's?
    7. Rotary 9ct gold hand wind, 1960's

    now let's see yours!

    1960 asymmetric Bulova President, with a Graduation Day 'mortar board' presentation box.






    1968 Seiko with original bracelet.







    1955 Bulova Clipper with original inner and outer box and guarantee.







    1970 mint Timex Electric with vintage strap.

    That mortar board is very sweet.

    Thanks guys.
    I have several more Bulova boxes, including the oldest one I have ever seen, from pre-1923, as I found the 1923 patent and inside the case of the box it says 'patent applied for'.

    First one for me, and one I'd never have had in the collection otherwise. It's sparked a bit of an interest in the more vintage watches.

    Longines Cal.370, that was my late Grandfathers. The nato really broadens the outfits it suits.

    Likely the nearest I'll get to PP quality so may as well keep it.
