Wrist watches

[I D Howe]

I thought you might like to see my one and only watch. This was passed on to me by my dad (don't worry, he's still with us), who worked in the European rail industry for many years. It was given to him by a Swiss colleague and friend. It's number 492 of 500 made to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Schweizerische Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik, or Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works, who manufactured much of the world's mountain railway equipment. Sadly, they no longer exist as an independent business.

Nice looking watch and great history with it.

I'm currently wearing a Seiko SKX007 with a black NATO band on it. Got it as a Christmas present this one just gone. Loving it

I'm also looking at the Casio G-Shock DW6900MS-1 (Blacked-out/Stealth) for the time that I require something a little harder and tactical. Especially as I'm slowly becoming a little more physical in life and is only going to advance as I work my way towards my career path.

The 007 (and maybe the new Seiko Monster due out 3rd/4th Quarter) are likely to be my only "dress" watches for a while. Even if I am in love with the Rolex Air-King.

Bought this one yesterday from a friend of mine who needed to raise some cash. It is ten years old and has only been worn a few times, weddings and special occations still got the hologram on the back.

I have had a couple of modifications carried out to my Seiko, I have changed to a Watchadoo bracelet and had a red second hand fitted.




Original look






With bracelet and red second hand.

Great Rolex Rick, looks really nice.

Nice mods to the Seiko Dave.

Is anyone else excited to have read in the Timefactors email that a Dreadnaught GMT may be on the way ?

This has partly consoled me for accepting that, no, a Prometheus Manta Ray WOULD be too big for my wrist (there's big, and then there's Blakes 7 teleporter big)

[Big Rick]

Love the mod. I think I will have to get one of those bracelets on one of my Seiko's!!

Thought I'd rescue this thread from page two with a couple of pictures of a recent arrival chez Jerry, courtesy of Timefactors:








Not enough wrist time to comment sensibly just yet. Shure looks purty, though

That looks tidy - never seen one of those before

Bought this Omega Planet Ocean recently as it has the new 8500 Calibre movement. I already have a Tag 2000 and Tag 4000 automatic in the daily rotation as well as a Luminox Blackout and a couple of limited edition Casio pieces.

Lovely watch, slightly (1-1.5mm?) thicker than the old models but super all the same.

Thanks, i had been thinking of buying a new watch for some time and the new Planet Ocean put me over the edge. Mine is the 42mm model although the 45.5mm model is the same price, i thought the bigger model was less discreet. The main difference between the old 2500 PO and new 8500 PO is that the back is now totally 'see through' with a sapphire crystal instead of the solid, metal back.

Double barrel movement is a massive step up from the in house eta the 8500 also has a 60+ reserve , broke must say both are lovely and the thought of a mechanical eco friendly engine on the wrist is nice
