This one for me
now it has the strap and wear it
This vintage Windsurfer from Citizen love the retro look!
A new one this week… well I say new but in fact fifty odd years old. I turned 40 last Saturday and I was not able to make my mind up what watch to mark the occasion.
My other half had kept mentioning an Omega Arrow Head Pie Pan Constellation as she knew I had lusted after them for quite a few years and felt it was appropriate for a 40th. I had to agree that it seemed a good idea as it was a watch I could also grow into over the years! I'd worried I wouldn't find an example in time, but as luck would happen I came across one in Cheltenham while visiting my father-in-law. I tried it on and loved it - but wasn't 100%. I then tried a rose gold version on in Burlington Arcade (as you can imagine the price was STEEP!) but it made me feel more confident about what I'd seen before… so off west we went again. Another quick try and I was convinced. It had a recent Omega service, was on a new Omega strap with signed gold buckle. Also it has a signed crystal (which you should be able to make out on the photo).
Just perfect.
I know a lot on here would only wear this as a dress watch, but I'll put it on for any occasion (well not washing the car etc etc of course) but I had it on with a bright short sleeve shirt last night, out at a show and I'd wear it with jeans or shorts – looks great with anything to my mind…
Also this is my first watch which has this much gold – sign of my age?!!!!! Well, have to say I'm smitten.
Also… makes me look forward to Eddie's Armstrong Siddeley even more. I think that one might look fantastic on a NATO – I do like the look of dressing down a dress watch on nylon. I wonder if Eddie could so a special edition NATO like the Seafare has???
Got the old scrap on today

The latest - one of Roland's finest. Not sure if I'm going to bond with it though...
I was on Paternoster Square with an office overlooking St Pauls until a couple of years ago.
Thank you - perhaps a bit non-WIS, being a Dunhill (although they have included watches in their product line-up since 1925, I believe) - but it is beautifully put together, with a well thought out design and I find myself wearing it more and more, particularly as I deal with New York and Bangalore on a daily basis. Added to which the bracelet is a gem, with a totally hidden clasp.
Couple of older, clearer pictures below (it's c.38.5mm without crowns and lume is blue by the way):
I reckon the Bund is pound-for-pound the single best buy in vintage watches right now. Nice catch.I only got it yesterday, so would be improper not to wear it today. Still chuffed to bits

Turbine again today. HAGWE!
I quite agree with you. It's spectacular, both aesthetic and engine-wise (unfortunately a bit too big for my slimming wrists, that's why I sold mine).

This one today
sweet mercy - show me more pleaseChanged from the Dweller to this..... i just love this thing
looks great on the strap. im still waiting for my white faced version to return from being repaired.
Same watch as last week for me so its also the same picture. I have been accused of it being a fake but i can assure you it is the real deal.
Deepsea on the sea, off to Ile St. Honorat this morning. Was a beautiful trip!
Nice. Is this the 'protect' version with the hardened case and bracelet? If so, how has it faired as a daily wearer?A rare moment when my kids aren't trying to kill each other or dismember the cat so I thought I would post. It's an old picture but this one has been my daily wearer for quite some time.
Have a good weekend
This one today. Finally off that brown strap and on the blue one I was waiting for
Stunning watch Tim and this is the watch of the day so far for me !!
Not that it counts for anything though
Some amazing watches on display in this thread, left me rather envious.
Have a good weekend !

Freshly Poly watched crystal, from
To
1978 Timex diver
Waiting in departures for yet another flight, taking the trusty B1 with me this time.
Its a rather rare Seamaster Megaquartz from circa 1972. This was one of Omega's most expensive watches when new, at nearly four times the price of the Speedmaster Pro.
This is a quick and dirty, the watch is sitting on a 24mm leather (trimmed) so you can see the size of the watch.
This is how the watch was original sold - with it's bracelet. The bracelet is an absolute beast and i felt that the leather would work better, which i think it does.

It's a one-off, a 'blonde hornlug' made by Nejad from Homage Forum, details here: http://www.homageforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=20688Really like that, do you have more info on the model (Google didn't turn up much)
If you don't have access to HF, here's an extract:
- Nejad hornlug midcase plated in 18k super white gold

I bought it on here. I saw it for sale but missed it. I kept thinking about it so dropped a speculative PM to the buyer. He liked it but wasn't wearing it. I beamed him some cash, he posted me the watch
