Greeting watch fans, HAGFF! This vintage Citizen Crystron diver from 1977 And a song from the same year!

I'm struggling to remember if it was the Odeon or the ABC in Darlington where I saw Star Wars. I still have the magazine of the making of the the film that I bought at the same time as a large bag of Revels. The Revels were eaten. I think it was the ABC to be honest...where I also saw Jaws, 2001 a Space Odyssey, and (Big Bus & Smokey and the Bandit) two films in one sitting, those were the days! Have a great Friday guys!

Good morning chap's Tudor 1926 today. I am not buying any more watches. [emoji17] Well maybe the odd one or two. [emoji16]

Afternoon all. so I went exploring through my boxes of bits, trying to find a specific strap I remember having but can’t find... and discovered a watch I’d forgotten I had. Popped a battery in and she’s running like a good un. Hurrah .. but snapping the caseback on caused the minute hand lume to explode all over the dial. Boooo in my exuberant youth I would now be trying to figure out the weird stem removal process to get the thing apart and cleaned up.... but these days I’ll just live with its imperfections. cheers

Back on with the new arrival .... No spring bars in the lugs. No spring bar in the sewn-in buckle. It may be Russian, but it won't popoff.

No judgements chaps and chapesses but I have been a bit naughty this week and bought quite a few! Double wristing here... I picked up a couple more Marvel Citizen models from the H Samuel sale (50% off, coupled with Buy one get one half price, it would have been a crime not to). So. Citizen Eco Drive Spiderman is on my left. Also, following a thread on here alerting me to the Tissot NBA watches last week I headed off to find some. I thought I had bought a New York Knicks and a Golden State Warriors model, but they turned out to be two versions of the Knicks ones. No complaints, it just means I'll end up selling one on and keeping the other one. So the right wrist has a PVD cased New York Knicks Tissot V8 Chrono. Looks like we might be into another north-of the border lockdown here in Manchester next week, so later on this afternoon I will be sampling the delights of my local pub, which has just started selling (of all things!!!) Corona on draft. You couldn't make it up...

Timefactors PRS-7 Speedbird II "Goldbird"

LV again @kevkojak @it'salivejim A doze of Corona is also available in cans

Wearing this today. Finally getting round to modding my Sea Urchin. Got a ceramic vintage sub style bezel insert, skeleton hands and a double domed, clear AR sapphire crystal from DLWWatches. Changed the stock bracelet for a black canvase strap. As comfy as the bracelet was sounding like a morris dancer was getting a little tiresome.

I did start with the mighty Fitbit Blaze this morning, but that's being charged up on the newly arrived dock now, so I've switched to this G-Shock Carbon Core for the rest of the day:

I heard a rumour that Roy negotiated a great deal with RLT in return for special "favours" if you catch my drift

Hope you secured a good discount...& long warranty?

When we frst went into lockdown back in March our local Sainsbury's plonked palettes and palettes of bottled Corona just inside the entrance with a huge special offer sign. They were there for weeks but I have no idea if they weren't selling or if they kept topping up the stacks. It caused me a wry smile at the time.

I queued round the block in Manchester!

Indeed, a great year and I remember going into the Odeon cinema to see 'Star Wars' Happy days..

STEINHART MARINE TIMER SWISS MADE (Unitas cal.6498,17 Jewels). & Reproduction Seikosha WWII Navy Aviator Chronometer (Seiko cal.7S26, 21 Jewels).

Longines quartz .....

You must be exhausted.

so i have not bought a watch since retiring , as i wanted one final big purchase watch which does not look like its going to happen any time soon. i have had theses in my watch list for ages, i missed out first time round all sold out while i ditthered , so this landed today , form the usa , its every thing i like in a watch, dial/hands, alternate blue/ black dates , bracelet, opened the box and though nice THEN pulled it out of the box , and a pin fell to the floor ? and the bracelet fell apart at one end of the clasp , you know what its like it slowly dawns on you there is a problem! crap. looking at it there is no way a split pin was going to work in this clasp it just drops straight through, gutted, other than that its a beautiful watch so e mail sent and waiting for reply, but this is the problem with dealing with a purchase from far away, 2 nd purchase from usa and both have had problems. ah well. dean.m

As re-lumes go, I thought this one was pretty good looking in daylight, and it's very possibly better than the original in the dark. Gotta love the early darkness. If only it had mercedes hands. Jk Must get that lume blob on the bezel though.

Classic.

Not replaced, Illinois supplied movements to "private label" resellers, including A. Kent & Sons, a jeweller in Toronto. So there's no reason to suppose the dial isn't original. The fact that the dial, case and movement have different names on isn't unusual. Watches were commonly put together with parts from different manufacturers. I wouldn't replace the hands unless you really have to. 8th post in this thread, you'll see a list of companies Illinois supplied in Canada, Ambrose Kent & Sons being one. https://mb.nawcc.org/threads/did-illinois-market-watches-in-canada.9467/

Morning, 1940s Recta made by Muller & Vaucher with their own 17j G2 movement. This one’s case back isn’t Recta-signed but, instead, gold plated inside and out along with the fixed bars. The addition of the “Majex” wordmark on the dial suggests that this watch may have been introduced to UK by Marchand & Jobin, importers principally of Majex-branded watches, but also of Recta and Minerva models. Regards.

Morning, last of my 'Pobeda movt.' (sub-seconds) watches, another 32mm screw case variety, but this time with a 2-part back, and Marak on the dial - beacon or lighthouse. HAGD

I got it today.Lume is incredible on this watch.
