A Raymond Weil from 2002.
I got some money when my father passed away and got myself my first "nice" watch.

My grandfathers early 1960s Accutron in mint condition. Interestingly, they made a new version of the same watch which I am thinking of getting. https://www.accutronwatch.com/us/en/product/2SW7A004.html?cgid=legacy
I have a 1952 Omega Geneva, it’s solid gold with interchangeable bands. I have a black, brown, and green band it has a champagne colored dial I inherited it from my grandfather. It has a tool that came with it to change the bands with. All the bands I have look brand new. I only wear it on special occasions. It stays safe in the safe unless I have something special to do.
My Uncle gave my dad a Seiko for his 40th birthday. He’d be 70 this year. So 30 years old.
Not really “worth” anything since it’s a simple quartz, but it’s a really nice watch. He didn’t wear watches so I just took it and wore it throughout college. Don’t wear it anymore since I’ve since I started buying my own watches and now wear a sub as my daily, so it sits in the box I keep my important stuff.
But I love that watch. I should wear it more…
1957 Zenith. 37MM, big for that time. Similar to a Sporto.
My Seiko “speedy” automatic chronograph from 1972. Got it at auction and had to put a bracelet on it but now it’s my daily rider
1970 Seiko Navigator Timer GMT from my grandpa. Still runs! (accuracy is shit tho, needs a service)
Probably this 1960 Sekonda Automatic made In the USSR.
I have a late 60s Caravelle hand wound that was made in France before they were sold to Bulova
1914 Omega trench watch. It runs and I do wear it from time to time.
1954 JLC (then just LeCoultre) Futurematic. Black dial, gold case & hands... very goth, super weird crown situation.
1940s Automatic Omega, which after 15 years with me, stopped working and is not economically worth fixing.
Oldest I regularly wear - an Omega Geneve from 65.
I inherited a 1994 Rolex Day Date that I wear quite often. Obviously has a ton of sentimental value to me, and I hope it keeps running throughout the rest of my lifetime at least haha
I've got an Omega from the 1950s, it was my great grandfather's. It technically runs but is in need of some serious servicing and restoration.
1960s IWC
My grandfather’s 1989 Patek Philippe Calatrava that he received as a 50th birthday gift from his parents. Simple and elegant.
1969 omega seamaster meister
1972 Seiko Lord Matic Special 5206-6130.
A circa 1940s Omega worn by a officer in the war. Pretty small face but its cool
These are my watches that aren’t modern Oris from the 60s Concord Mariner SG early 80s Heuer Professional sometime between 1980 and 1985 Tudor Oyster Prince Date Day
Early 60's Zodiac Sea Wolf with the bakelite bezel.
Excluding pocket watches, I have a mid-1930’s Lord Elgin. It was a wedding gift from my (to be) mother to my (to be) father on their wedding day. He died when I was a small boy and mom gave it to me when I left for college. The definition of a precious timepiece.
30’s Elgin. TAG 80s
35 year old Alfred Sung watch that reminds me I was a baller in high school.
25 year old Tag that I bought when I started making (and saving) some decent money.
A 1990s LEGO System watch. lol Sadly doesn't work anymore.
1953 Longines Sport Chief. Inherited from my grandfather
I have this chonker.
No idea how old this pocket watch is. I'd guess it's from the change of 1800-1900.
It runs and the calendar changes with the time but It's LOUD af.
The diameter of 80mm makes this my oldest and biggest watch I own =D
I have an Omega Seamaster from 1954, and a Smiths Deluxe from around the same time frame
I have several old pocket watches from the late 1800s early 1900s from family collections. But of the watches that are worn, I have my great grandfather’s 1952 Patek Philippe Calatrava (there is a bit of moisture damage on the face, but have elected to not have it cleaned, i have been told it will hurt the value). It is a bit small for my wrist so my wife wears it on occasion. I also have my grandfather’s late 60s Omega Seamaster Cosmic that is in my regular rotation. Unfortunately when I was given the Omega when I was 16, it started an expensive obsession.
1958 Omega Seamaster. It’s basically my daily driver when I’m not wearing my Hammy
I was given a Hamilton quartz in 1983 that I still have and it still keeps great time. The gold plating has deteriorated over 40 years
I have a tiny pendant watch that still works from my great grandmother, I think it's from the 20s.
1938 Zenith manual watch. 18K gold case. It's well loved but that just adds to its beauty.
This. 1969 Vintage Seiko sports diver.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1014, with a calibre 1560. I actually have no idea how old it is, around 1960 I think?
Two 1960's Girard Perregaux's that were inherited from my late grandfather. One of them is two hander with a super thin gold-plated hexagon case and dial, while the other one is a silver linen dialed Gyromatic Chronometer HF 32a with the original bracelet.
I've got a Space view from 1972. Hums like a monster.
A 1953 bulova from my great grandpa. I only ever wear it when I'm in a suit or dress shirt
A pocket watch I can't identify, I can't figure out what it says. I have no idea how old it is, but it was my grandfather's.
