Excellent Condition - Kurono Tokyo Chronograph II - Shiro
For sale is my gorgeous Kurono Tokyo Chronograph II - Shiro. This watch has been worn only a few times, and is in excellent condition. It has no scratches, scuffs, dents, etc. that I can see. The crystal is in perfect condition. The back might have a few hairlines/scuffs due to being put on the table. The leather strap obviously shows some signs of wear, but has more than 90% life left. Comes as a full kit, with everything that came with it.

#2 · Still right writing this: And 24/7 on the left it's the Elliot Brown Arne. #3 · #4 · Timex made in Great Britain. That tells me it is probably from the 1950's- 60's when the UK was called Great Britian . Do we have a British person to shed light on this subject. one of our WRUW posters gave this beauty to me when in commented how cool it is with the Great Britian on the dial. Thank You.
Need help - Yema Meangraf Sous Marine - Bezel Action
Searched online, but couldn’t get a definitive answer - Purchased the Yema Meangraf Sous Marine on a whim as it was available for very cheap. An oddball watch, but that is what appealed to me. The watch seems fine and runs fine. But the bezel is bidirectional rotating, with no clicks. Read somewhere that the bezel is with clicks. Just trying to check if anyone else has the same watch, and can check and confirm. Not worried about returns, as I have time.

GS price increase November 2024
#2 · Well, if it were a price decrease, then there would probably be greater economic concerns, and the GS price decrease would be the least of your concerns. #3 · I’d rather focus on things within my control .. I chose to order a bracelet sooner than later just in case lol 😁 Not sure if the sales rep’s heads up would apply to me or not but decided not to chance it … though I am curious to know if my preemptive action was actually necessary??

Just recieved this 1940's Tissot Militar. Very similar to the other green dialed one I have. This one has a slightly different dial numbers and different hands. It will be getting the case replated and a thorough servicing.

Good morning to the last day of October fellow watch enthusiast, starting the day with my vintage Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005 Caliber 561 from 1963. With an art nouveau advertisement in the background. Love to see what you’ve wearing on the wrist today.

Vintage Longines, I believe it to be a Men's, as women's watches back then were more ornate and decorated. The edge of the caseback has this "W and 10K gold filled". The W and horizontal line off the top edge of the W represents the Wadsworth watch case company. The inside of the watch case back has more info and " cased by Longines" ,but I don't have a photo right now.

Normally this would mean it's range day but today it was motorcycle practice with my son. Getting the hang of it quickly but still a lot to learn.

How is that? I wanted one of those but the company was so unresponsive over a few weeks of trying to email them from my email and their website contact us page (it's been like over a year or two and no response) that I passed them up. It's too bad.

I dont know how old this is. The only Tissot with the founder's first initial that I've seen.

1969 Omega Constellation. It is Gold capped , not plated, meaning the case has a thicker coating.

H. MOSER X MASSENA LAB - ENDEAVOUR CHRONOGRAPH COMPAX
I have gotten so used to seeing the sterile dials of HMC, that I having a hard time attributing this watch as a Moser. Having said that, I quite like the overall look. Although I think there are much better looking Moser dials for this money. Presenting our latest collaboration with Massena LAB: the Endeavour Chronograph Compax. Inspired by Moser models from the mid-20th century, this watch pays tribute to both our watchmaking past and our passion for innovation.

Looking for recommendations for a place to polish my Panerai
Wore my Panerai to a waterpark the other day, and banged/rubbed it against the wall. It has left some ugly scratches on the bezel. Looking at recommendations for a place that can fix it. Also, any experiences getting their watch polished by Panerai themselves? Finally, I know there are folks out there who say that embrace every scratch and dent. Thank you for that, but looking for suggestions to “fix” the scratches here. I am fine with swirlies and desk marks.

I’ve heard it said that the Japanese finish titanium the way the Swiss do steel. The Zaratsu polishing and brushing on this Titanium case leads me to believe it’s true.

***Price Drop*** LNIB Ming Kyoto 22.01 GMT
Hi Everyone. For sale is my LNIB 22.01 GMT Kyoto. It has sat in the box since the day it was delivered. The watch is absolutely gorgeous in person. However, I am consolidating my collection.

Full disclosure, I removed the watch from the plastic sleeve to take a better look, however, did not put it on my wrist. Price is $1975 which includes free insured shipping within CONUS.
Christopher Ward Desk Diver

Watch Prices Getting Ridiculous?
Hello all, I've been browsing this forum for years, but I finally decided to sign up. I've been collecting on and off for a long time now...and I own a Lindburgh & Benson Schaumburg Chronometer (before it just became Schaumburg), OWC Bond (Soprod A-10), Citizen diver, Jacques Lemans dress watch, G-Shocks, etc. I had stopped collecting for a decade and saw the most recent prices and was like wow...this is just insane. You can't even get a Rolex for under 5k minimum with box and papers it seems like.
Blancpain Bathyscaphe: Detailed Review!
#1 · This is my review of my Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe ref. 5000-0130-B52A, which was manufactured in about March 2023. I bought it in late December of that year. I’m going to approach this from the outside-in—examining both the fit and feel of the materials and construction before getting into the internals and the details. After all the technical, I’m going to provide my wearing and ownership experience, such as it is and has been over the past months. Let’s start with the case.
As my 70th is quickly approaching in May, I've been thinking MeisterSinger Metris or Alpina Regulator. Regulator it is!
Recently, since discovering the new Damasko DK20, that was my focus. But, for many years, after seeing the MeisterSinger the first time in the early 2000s, I thought that might be something I would really enjoy. Time passes, and oftentimes you forget. That is pretty much the same story with Alpina's Regulator. The Avalanche Extreme Regulator, I think was the first.

Welcome to the weekend, mine started with a modest hike up the hill and back wearing this: Likely to get considerably more miles in over the weekend - keeping my eye on the forecast (I don't mind rain but it can be a bit boring in low cloud!). Unfortunately I won't be in the Alps, but I'll be dreaming with my 1959 Alpinist re-creation. Bracelet by Staib. Glove for @Capt.Keith Thanks for looking and to all those taking part. Have a great weekend. JJ

###WRUW Tuesday 12 March 2024###
20 mins past 3 on the East Coast, and no WRUW thread. Looks like the Daylight Saving Time effect. So I will kick it off with possibly the most boring watch in the world (after the Speedy!) 😉😈

New user, finally transplanting from Reddit
Glad to see that there are still active forums! I've been aware of this site for a while but have really spent all my time on IG and Reddit. I got into watches a few years ago and have been enjoying them with my friends and slowly buying ones I like and keep. Glad to see that forums are still a thing since FB groups and Whatsapp chats just aren't the right format to document and share everything we learn as a community. My first watch is a Seiko SRPD51 and my latest pickup is a Hermes H08.
Damn you Christopher Ward and the Sealander C63 series
#1 · I casually wondered what Christopher Ward is up to. I've been good. Very good. I've not bought a watch in 2 years. Grand Seiko has been discharging a series of rather undesirable watches. Seiko has upped their prices and lowered their movements making it all too easy to resist. Bam! the Sealander Elite. Chronometer with Grade 2 Titanium. I don't think I'll be able to resist. I can't afford the Explorer II, I feel like it's dumb to spend so much on the BB Pro (as much as I want it).
## WRUW Thursday 29 February, 2024? ##
Good morning watch enthusiast on this Leap Day. Seiko turtle 6306-7001 from March 1977 and a Seamaster cosmic from 1967. Love to see what you are sporting today.
Hanhart Pioneer Preventor 9 Black Dial
For sale is my Hanhart Pioneer Preventor 9 Black dial in excellent condition. Purchased in November 2023 from Watchbuys, and worn only a few times. This watch has been sold out for months now. The watch is in excellent condition, with no scratches, scuffs, dents, etc. that I could see. The crystal is in perfect condition. The back does have a few hairlines/scuffs due to being put on the table. The leather strap obviously shows some signs of wear, but has more than 90% life left.
BNIB Nodus Sector Sportaire Two Tone (1/1 From the Nodus Vault)
Hi Everyone. For sale is my BNIB Nodus Sector Sportaire Two Tone. This is a 1 of 1 piece that was available from the Nodus Vault. The warranty card is dated November 2023. The watch is quite a looker, and has the same solid build quality that we expect from Nodus. The only reason I am selling this is to dramatically downsize my collection, as it has gotten too unwieldy. This is one of the many watches I have listed for sale, and will be listing even more over the coming couple of days.
