Wrist Shot Friday!

[taemo]

^haha yeah, I love field watches and the 39mm mechanical field is something growing on on me.
only thing I'm not too keen on is the 50m water resistance. regret not snagging one locally last year for 250$

[npham]

Swapped the black strap out for a brown one.

Anyone sign up for watch gang? Seems interesting.. the platinum subscription gets you some Swiss eta mechanical movement pieces for ~$300usd

I'm trying. I barely get to wear my watches anymore.

So I did this, had a code for $100 off the first month. Went with quarterly watches vs monthly as I just don’t need that many in this range.

Was $200+ $10 shipping USD, then $47 CAD for duty

In return I got this:

84972

84973

84974

MSRP of $1295 ($1145 on their site) USD, of course flooding the market with as many watches as these guys send out in a month is going to ruin resale though.

I like the look, only complaint would be no screw down crown, so shit 10ATM water resistance

Specs:
Swiss made
Sapphire front and back
45mm
SW-200 Swiss movement (26j)
Deployment clasp

All in all, not awful. Could have got a lot less for the money. Will probably get it off the stainless bracelet ASAP and onto a nato or at least leather... have a dark green canvas strap that might look great too

Congratulations! It looks great on your wrist. Some interesting choices from these guys recently, definitely angling to appeal to true Heuer enthusiasts.

How do you like it? I always thought they’re cool styling.

I quite like it. Bought it in Dubai in 2015 along with that Rolex posted above. Been robust with no issues and definitely has wrist presence. I think was around $1600 new but can be had for under $1K in the used market now so keep a look out. If interest I saw someone selling one on another forums and can send you a link.

[ercchry]

Love the low key Aston reveal... we really have to start a pool for your car ownerships :rofl:

[SJW]

Black coffee. I wait until it’s evaporated somewhat so it’s realky dark. I already tore this watch apart I didn’t like it.

How come the hands got darker than the dial? were they in for the same amount of time?

[SJW]

I soaked the hands in the coffee. I hand applied the coffee to the indices as it’s easier than cleaning the dial around them. It was more of an experiment and I didn’t like the way it ended up. I turned it into the watch on the previous page on Nato strap

Haha. Although not intentional in the beginning, I thought someone might catch it. lol. I got one of my grails so I am good for some time now so a pool now would not be of much benefit. Haha.

Much want. Absolutely love the watch, and am looking to get a Sub very soon to use as a daily. I've always wanted one as its something I can wear at work, and also rock on the weekend. Finding I really don't wear my Datejust too much as I feel its too flashy.

I love this watch. MY DD for just about everything!!! Love the Datejust too, but find it's more for formal functions or basically when you're wearing a suit, but that's just me though.

Not quite a Rolex but Ive been really liking this Seiko 5, Been avoiding metal straps for probably 5 years. Not sure what I was thinking.

[ercchry]

Uh... metal. This showed up from watch gang this month. I canceled, just not worth it after fx and customs. Promptly shelfed it till I can figure out a leather strap... which should be fun with the silly lug design.

Didn't get to post this until today, but figured - what the hell.

Here’s one right out of the storage... my trusty 1971 Bulova Accutron N1 wristwatch. I love this piece and it immediately brings me back to my youth. I get compliments on it all the time, and it has proven to be an extremely reliable piece especially given its age. Also dig the retro look.

*so back in ‘71, Gold was not even remotely expensive as it is today. So some of the upper models have 18k gold components, face and backing, or wrist band. This model has 14 k plating, but a 10k backing and some 10k components (some of which are rolled gold)*

All I need is a 70s power suit with the big lapels and I am good to go lol

Was on the watch gang wheel, think it cost me $200usd? (Shipping included, no duty/customs). Auto with coated mineral glass... pretty basic. Only a 40mm width, but pretty decent thickness which wears well. Quiet movement too

Edit: was more like $125USD since I had some points already. Think the wheel is a better value than subscription especially since you get to pick the watches

While I don’t own one, I will say that it wears smaller than the measurements would suggest because of its cushion case.

Well, me too, but 5/6 year ago, Daytona was way too small for the trend .. 40mm Chrono ..:eek: needed the Deepsea back then! The New Daytona does "look" a touch bigger with the new Bezel, but still small.. :eek:

I’m late on posting, but I did wear this last night and have worn it this morning while camping.

Not a very common sight, but it’s a Mido Multifort Powerwind circa 1958. 17 jewels. Started pulling my older pieces out from long term storage and testing them out. I’ve recent plenty of compliments on this. Question to watch gurus.. I’ve had a few people comment about the patina/wear on the face - both positive and negative. Mechanically, it’s in good order... but I have mixed feelings on whether to repair the face or leave it as is to preserve it for posterity’s sake. Let’s see how good you look when you’re over 60 years old lol

Thoughts?

Awesome piece! I'm no guru or expert, but IMO it would probably cost more to restore the dial than the monetary value of the watch, so I'd only do it if you would enjoy the watch more. But otherwise keep it as is because it certainly has a lot of character!

[ReasonOne]

This is a 1975 Bulova Accutron N5 wristwatch with day window and 218 movement. It’s been in storage for a long time and a fresh battery brought it back to perfect working order! Wore it today and will wear it for a few more days to confirm its accuracy.

I’m glad to see there are a few Mido fans on here! I’ve got a small collection of older Midos and have contemplated getting into the newer models. What are your thoughts on the quality for the money on the newer models? I’ll remember to post more of them when time permits.

Only way around would be to host it on a different site all together. Photobucket I used to use but since it went paid I don't bother anymore. The beyond system is quite old and like you said kills the quality. That's why I stopped bothering to post pics for the most part lol.
