My Dedo’s 1974 Bulova mechanical with Speidel twist-o-flex bracelet.
Gold coloured mostly with a champagne dial
I have a 1971 Seiko Bellmatic 27 jewel which I picked up earlier this year.
Had it serviced when I got back and while it has some light case wear, the dial and hands are in basically perfect condition which I was super happy about. Service wasn't cheap as it's a pretty complex movement, but the guy I went to was pretty excited to see it and did an excellent job.
I have the original bracelet, but put it on an Uncle Seiko president and it's super comfy so I wear it a lot.
An Omega Seamaster 166.010 from the late 60s. I’ve never pinned down the exact year, but would be interested to know how to go about it.
Oldest watch I regularly wear is my Zenith Daytona. My dad bought it for my grandfather, and when my grandfather died it ended up with me.
Gruen Veri-Thin. 420SS caliber. I believe it’s from the late 1940s-early 1950s, and I wear it all the time. Keeps great time when wound
1982 Rolex.
Mine would be my grandfather's gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Bubble Back from 1946. This was passed down to me on my wedding day.
He lived a very interesting life, and this is on his wrist in just about every photo I have of him .Very sentimental and the one watch I'd never sell!
I got the first accutron ~1960. Granddad left it to me. Well he died and it was on his counter so I snagged it.
I have a bulova from 1946 that was a high school graduation gift for my great uncle
I have a military style A.Schild from the 40s. Not sure when it was last serviced but it keeps great time
Are pocket watches included? If so, then I have a family heirloom gold pocket watch from 1818. Still in working condition but needs a service. *
A rodania from 1942
My grandfather's Waltham he was issued in WWII.
I have a 1787 pair case English watch made by Edward Thompion. I also have an 1886 silver fusee from and Irish watchmaker, but for daily wear my oldest is a 1941 Bulova tank.
My grandad’s 1941 Hamilton Midas in rose gold. It was a college graduation present from his sister.
My parents have a pocket watch from the 1700s. Instead of using screws, its movement is held together with little pieces of wood
A Pam48 from 2015 is my oldest.
Lesson learned throughout the years is to never sell…. Always end up regretting. Older is always better, you might be bored now but sooner or later the love always come back stronger.
Vintage Omega from mid 60s
I have a 20-year old Rolex GMT Master II (red GMT hand) that i bought from my father. It's the crown jewel of my meagre collection
The oldest overall watch I have is a pocket watch. It's a Waltham from 1886. It's a keywind and works perfectly. It is a cheapo model with a nickel case, but that in turn seems to have worked in its favor with age, as it looks great. The oldest wristwatch is another Waltham I believe from the late 40s. It also works and is in really good shape. The oldest ones I actually wear are a few Seiko 6139 auto chronographs. The oldest is a 1970. None have sentimental value, but are ones I enjoy having in my collection. I don't know the actual value of them. The two Waltham watches came from an antique show. The pocket watch I gave $75 for it and the wristwatch was $20. The Seikos came from online watch dealers. I don't remember exactly what I paid, but the most was around $150. I do know the prices have gone crazy since and they would cost quite a bit more now. I never carry pocket watches, but like collecting them. I also don't wear the Seikos that much, but do on occasion. I like them a lot for their looks and being older auto chronographs. They also deviate from my normal style of watch i gravitate towards, which are divers and chronographs with external bezels.
1977 Seiko 5 Datejust Vintage 7019-8100
I have a Hamilton pocket watch from ~1918. Does that count?
1964 Elgin Shockmaster.
I have a 1955 Universal Genève Tri Compax that I adore…
I have a 1969 King Seiko 4502 - 7000
Why do i have it? Well because its part of the watch history i guess when seiko beats the swiss so hard they close the chronometer competition.
Also its the last movement that are handmade iirc.
Mid 90s 18kt hand crank deville, sector sub seconds and gorgeous dauphine hands, because I've always wanted a gold Calatrava and this is the closest I'll get anytime soon.
I do not know the exact year but it's a Hamilton railway special that my great grandfather carried everyday. I believe it's from the 60s but I'm not sure. Regardless, it's my favorite watch I own.
I've got a Junghans Trilastic 17 Jewels that belonged to my great grandfather, so not sure how old, but I'm assuming old.
Still works, no idea how well. Is in dire need of a clean and just sits in my watch box currently.
