Any watch enthusiast here?

I wish, but there all in Vermont still and no way to get them

Ah ok, would’ve been amazing to see them

I just tried to see if his website was still up but it looks like it hasn’t been up in years,I’ll message my old coworker to see if he can get me some pictures…it is his grandfather afterall

This one I got yesterday:
JUNGHANS, well known German watch manufacturer.
Military watch, about 1940, as it has fixed lugs and a black dial.

Interesting is the movement.
J97 so called “Formwerk”
The German watch manufacturers were using often such called
“Formwerk” in WWII.
e.g UROFA, STOWA and, as we see JUNGHANS as well…

Dear friends, enjoy your " lazy sunday afternoon", :grin: same way I do!

What a beauty! Piece of art for sure.

Does it work well?

Works fine!
And this after more than 70 years!
Great!

This is the kind of technique I like.
Clear and understandable.

Nowadays : Some weird apps and hidden libraries (JAVA :grin:)
Black boxes only.

Even the programmer wo was creating these doesn’t understand why those are working or NOT! :sunglasses:

Haha. Sorry. Late to the post but this is hysterical. However, it would only make sense if the wife isnt a watch enthusiast as well. I always find it very attractive when a lady wears a larger dial watch on her wrist. :wink:

this is my favorite watch among all … simple and comfortable …:blush:

This is a “dressing watch” I would call this type.

I’ve got a soft spot for fossil. I like how simple and elegant they are. Their leather bags are good too!

Of course there a female watch enthusiasts.
But their intention is different.
The watch needs to be nice an chique.
Often my wife tries to snatch a watch I got.
But after a while she gives it back and goes back to the other beauties she owns.
Sometimes there is NO return. :grin:

This one she would not like.
But this is one of my “every day” watches.
Tough and indestructible.

A classic watch in its own right.

Built like a shithouse, and keeps on ticking.

I had one when I was young n dumb, and sold it for a shiny new Adidas watch… Mind, that was quite cool… It had a Swiss commando workings in it, and in 93, £100 (GBP) was a good whack.

Seiko never used swiss movements.
Therefore these watches are so incredible robust! :grin:

I was out earlier at lunch time picking up a couple of Xmas gifts. Found myself in a jewellers looking at watches and these 2 caught my eye.

I love watches! I currently own a Casio G-Shock GST-S110D-1ACR. It is my EDC!
I had a Samsung Gear S3, which I loved! but battery kept draining rather quickly… I returned it
I tried to upgrade to the next gen Samsung Watch but they only make it in Silver/Black and not all black (46mm).
So back to my old faithful G-Shock

Lol apparently so.

The first one is huge and could easily be confused with a paperweight :joy:
