Watches, watches and more watches

[whbonney26]

Do you have a case press?

I don't. Have never really had a need for one.

I don't. Have never really had a need for one.

I'm tempted to pick one up and replace the hardlex in some Seikos.
I'd like to replace the crown on a few as well.

I've always thought about a pocket watch. But I hate stuff in my pockets.

I've always thought about a pocket watch. But I hate stuff in my pockets.

Most fit in the watch pocket on a pair of jeans. I just like them because of my fascination with their history and where they could have been over the years. Some collectors don't like ones that were engraved or personalized but I find those to be very interesting.

I have a watch that was engraved something along the lines of "Presented to ______ From Parents 1905". Some see that are don't want it because it has someone else's name on it but I see it and think man........In 1905 this was presented to that person and was his pride and joy. Maybe a graduation or wedding gift or something. Now.......over 100 years later I have it. Its pretty neat to me.

I also have a watch that was presented to someone (prob. a commander) by several of the men in his regiment while stationed overseas during WWII and has a list of names names who presented it to him. I have never been able to find any info on the men but its pretty neat to me. One day maybe I will be able to find out some info on the people engraved on the watch.

Does anyone in the NOLA area sell NATO straps? I have tried buying online, but they never look how you expect.

Not sure but DaveM told me about a place online https://www.toxicnatos.com and I've been very pleased with them.

Sad part about my work - very hard to keep a watch on.

Anyone have an Orient? I have one being delivered tomorrow that I'm really excited about. I've wanted it for a while and was finally able to pull the trigger.

He probably doesn't even know. He just sees a picture he likes and makes it rain.

I have an Orient Bambino. It's a nice mechanical watch for the price. Actually one of the best value watches, period.

Orient Polaris Automatic.

I've been geeking out over automatics recently.

Bought a Junkers Bauhaus a couple months back. Before that got a seiko skx007. Love both. The Junkers is a dress watch. The seiko gets more wear and I rotate between three bands every so often.

I almost bought a Junkers in Amsterdam last month. I wound up buying a Fromanteel, which is made in Amsterdam. Really quite nice. Western Europe is quite a treat for watch enthusiasts.
