Pulsar to start with.

The Sbdc055 I ordered didn't arrive today as hoped, so I'm consoling myself with an Amstel and my AT.

Citizen today

My holiday (day) watch this week, from the Costa Del Sol............

I turned 48 on friday, and a fine birthday haul indeed!

Morning all. Just thought I would share a picture of my small, but growing collection. Just sold a few others last week but I am sure more additions will soon be added. Hope you all have a great day. Regards Mr F

Clean white face for today...

At least they haven't folded, which is what I was fearing when the news first broke last year. I just hope they don't suffer the same fate as Glycine seem to be under Invicta ownership. Gratuitous wrist shot

Never been to an auction before but popped in our local one which was having a jewelry and collectables 2 day event. Looked through the online brochure and spotted this Invicta which caught my eye. Turned up early to have a look, boxed with paperwork all links still fitted and totally unmarked, looked unworn! So I registered and ended up with it! Well pleased. USA made case with a Seiko movement, very heavy with bracelet links from solid. Not heard of Invicta before but I am very impressed. Alan

Oh go then, I'll show you mine then

Sixty two minutes to sunset. Steve.

Well, if we are showing off, I’ll join in as well if that’s alright????

I love the bulky/chunky design and the strap!

I have trouble resisting chronographs...so... Roger

I think I prefer this version.

Sadly, none at the moment. All tweed jackets have pocket squares. Just remembered my dog has a harris tweed bandana.

Philipp has been in charge since July. Great brand Fortis, I wish they could get a bit more traction in the UK. They've been in the background since the 1920's and should really have taken off (pardon the pun!) the way Breitling did with their specially designed pilot watches. For some reason, they ended up left behind. Two of my all time fave watches are the B-42 "Mission to Mars" edition (I love a bit of orange!) and the mental "IQ" (pictured below) by Rolf Sachs. If anyone here has never seen the Sachs special editions, google Fortis Frission, Fortis IQ and Fortis 2pi

Fortis Watches AG have announced new ownership under Jupp Philipp (Entrepreneur) from 1st September 2018. CEO is Lorenz Aebischer who has worked for Mido, Tissot and Auguste Reymond in the past. It will be interesting to see how things move forward.

@Roger the Dodger Could you please merge the threads? Thanks Cass

@Roger Nice watch and a bargain price. I picked up the version with orange accents about three or four years ago and have really enjoyed it. Mine came on a blue rubber strap which got swapped pretty quickly. The bracelet on yours looks good! Enjoy.

Not sure about that age of watch, but specialist watch auctions have always been my choice for selling vintage issued military stuff.

Look at the white dialled (lumed) Damasko's. Great watches and a long term target for me. I sold the one I had to another member here!

Schofield do a good range of tweed watch straps. Ah, the old 'Johnny Reggae' clothes -'with his fringe and buckle loafers and his two tones on his strides'. Yup, that was me. Plus Harrington, monkey boots and Brutus or Ben Sherman shirts. Fred Perry shirts were cheaper in those days as well. Then I grew my hair long.

You have a very nice collection, Kudos.

Whilst searching through the usual souvenir shops full of tat and fake Ray Bans I found a nice little jewellers selling genuine G-Shocks and other Casios. Found a nice quality silicone 22mm strap and also an XL 20mm brown leather one too. Well pleased.

A good staking set is a useful tool to have in a workshop. A jewel press is expensive and will get limited use. A staking outfit is a more general tool that will enable the fitting of jewels and many other bench duties. It may require additional tool skills, but will save £££££££££'s on unnecessary tool purchases. Hope this helps.

Love the Squale!

Very nice varied collection!

these are my 2 and really pleased with them both. I had a hydroconquest until it sold recently so as I still have these 2 you can guess my preference

Cheers fella But was this really first posted in June 2013??? Jesus, where did the time go I've done a few of these for various members on here, and it's always a pleasure. This forum has given me a lot over the years, and it's great to give a little something back.

Welcome to TWF & now the temptation begins
