Reply With QuoteMy old JLC birth year watch from 1960…
Having left my decision making too late and missed out on the recent beautiful Longines that was on the FS forum.
It would be great to see what other vintage pieces members have.
And just to be fair let’s say vintage starts from the early 1990’s backwards.
It will also help me see what other makes there are.
Thanks

Here's my birth year watch - a 1950s Landeron movement in a paper-thin 9ct case, badged as a "Nerina"

"Coventry Co-operative Watch Manufacturing Society" 18ct gold cased
pocket watch.
The watch was discovered in a damaged state in a Peterborough
pawnbroker’s window 13 years ago. Mark Wiles F.B.H.I. (Antique and Modern, East Barnet, N London)
restored the watch in 2009; Mark initially thought it was a Georgian timepiece.
In the early to mid 19th C., Coventry watchmaking / clock making was a thriving industry but gradually
went downhill following imports of cheaper Swiss and American clocks and watches. In an effort to compete with
cheaper imports and to maintain production of quality timepieces, the Coventry Co-operative Watch Manufacturing Society was formed
in 1876. This 1893/4 fusee pocket watch is a very fine example of a CCWMS timepiece … and one of the few to have been engraved on the
balance cock with CCWMS.
The Assay Office hall mark is indistinct but is likely Chester … the style / font of the K date mark
does match the1893/4 Chester date mark. I am planning to take an infra red photograph of the
Assay Office mark to see if IR will reveal some more distinct ’stamp’ detail.

My birth year :-)
That's really nice

Late 60s Rolex Date in 14k
I found the "all gold" look a bit much so I've put it on a strap and sourced a buckle from my AD.
If I had my time again, I would prefer it without the date, but still very happy with it.
My first “nice” watch, my wife bought this for me in the late

Bought this for my wife 10 years ago, she hasn't worn it much but it is so pretty.
Fixed that for you.
Posted before, but here are two of my most cherished watches:
My late Father's 1946 Longines 13ZN
and my grandfathers 1935 VC
Your 13ZN is by far the sexiest watch ever posted on this forum by a mile. I think a dark brown bracelet would make it look a bit more sexy.Posted before, but here are two of my most cherished watches:

Yes that 13ZN is pretty special.
That is very nice - really clean as you say, looks almost GS-like with the classic case and sword hands. Very nice.Bought this for my wife 10 years ago, she hasn't worn it much but it is so pretty.
Now that is some praise! I agree, a suitable dark brown strap would work well, although this strap was last worn by my dad, so it too is special.
