Unusual shape, but strong ., Like these quite a bit .. ) My motto for these ( same for E861/872): "Ever tried.. Ever failed, no matter, - Try again.. Fail better.." Best, hs

I am sure this one will find its way home to you, HS! Best Blomman

OK, Nilo – I promise, I will not post any more pics of the E 861 in this thread… So let’s climb up 11 numbers! E 872 ! Best Blomman...

Blomman Two E872 is too much. My E872 is still waiting for a dial. Even with a bad redial is a true keeper. Dresses as a charm. Cheers, Nilo

Is how well they fit on the wrist! Best Blomman PS. No news, but I am still looking…

But I will not give up, nor surrender .. My little Empire will strike back, Promise .. And soon !! Best, my DSA- musketeer hs

Don’t give up, my friend! Soon you will find yours! Best Blomman

Funky speeds on … E 875 Speedbeat Best Blomman...

I have cushion cased Omegas, but they are all from 1969....  

1969? Please show! I have already cheated a bit – E 861 is from 1968… Please join in with all the Funky watches you like – the more the merrier! Best Blomman

Forgot my Seiko 6139-7100 "Helmet" Next to my Flightmaster From 1969: (I need a new picture)...

Matt...  

Perfect strap on that one, Matt! Best Blomman

...  

I was starting to wonder where you were! Love your Blue Funky collection! Best Blomman

... sorry to keep you waiting stefan

Wow, Stefan - that's nothing for the weak.. Strong statement !! I do know, that as for the 3072, you are the 3rd musketeer, - on a personal note, I specifically envy the 3 to the left, in addition .. Thnx for this share, my friend Best, hs

... i like it at the first place, was so lucky to get it as it is NOS for the 3rd one from the left, it is interesting piece, was also just happened to get it when browsing xbay one night... reading from the caseback, it claims it is a diver watch!!! i se... 

OK, let’s keep moving up in the numbers… E 876 – another blue funky from the 70’s! Best Blomman...  

A funky Tissot Navigator? Groovy watches, everyone! Very nice thread, Blomman. Best, Alex...  

Very similar to the Snowdrop in shape (or if you prefer the Ikepod)! Thank you, Alex! Best Blomman

E 877 – The Snowdrop. Wish I could share with you the funky E 870 Polaris II… But I still miss that one! Best Blomman...

This is almost 'dramatic funk' in its appearance - and I remember that quite well, - when you had it with you at our last GTG. Special congrats to that, my friend ! - although the 2 (!!) 861's double-nag on me, as I missed one last year ( 1 day too late),... 

There are always some watches turning up that you didn’t expect! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

Yes, my friend - apparently a lot of sweet spots here.. - many appeared to enjoy rolling along ! Nice.. Best, as always hs

Yes a lot of people joining! Interesting to see the JLC and Omega domination… Because there was a lot more brands making these funky watches. Speaking of Omega – surprised no Ploprof or Cosmic in the thread. Best, my friend Blomman

what a fantstic thread! Funky 70's case shapes are some of my favourites. Some of the JLCs displayed in this thread are just fantastic and Ubik's Breitlings are great too. I'd not seen that Super Ocean chrono before but wow. Here is my humble contribution...  

.. My Personal favorite is this Seamaster, so much 'l'air de famille' of the bezel with BP- FF's - and a low-key dial + this proud Case .. - but the Flightmaster is GREAT as well !! Enjoyed your double chip- in ! Best, hs

Both the Flightmaster and the Seamaster looks great! I will have to start look into Omega more closely! Best Blomman

Looks a lot like Omega Dynamic! Love it! Is it original bracelet? Best Blomman

... yes it looks Omega Dynamic, but the case has oyster-like case and rounder than in Omega. the watch came with original bracelet, box and Longines tag. how nice! stefan

I was born in the 70's, those watches were something I didn't like when I was a teenager, remembrances of old world, outmoded times... But today I watch this period as a rich artictic one, and I love those watches, the brown/yellow colors, round shapes .....  

I must say that even if I love the watches from this era… I am not so sure I like the fashion! Best Blomman

Fashion is usually cycle-based, which means that one day it will rise again and you will have to wear these nice pants again

Thank you all for participate in this funky thread! Interesting to see so many different shapes and colours from different brands. One last Funky watch from me: The Voumard V2000. Excuse the Futurematic (a Funky watch from the 50’s) these are old pi...  

here you go, from left to right: 1973 speedmaster markIV, 1969 speedmaster markII and 1969 aquastar benthos and of course the sped 125...  

Great of you to join, Georges! Best Blomman

...but only because it's the only funky '70s watch I have. It's from a time when I didn't collect, and a watch was just something to tell time. Unfortunately I don't have any funky '70s mechanicals any more, so this is the best I can do. Emil...  

Never seen before. What brand is this? Thank you for joining, Emil! Best Blomman

...and retailed by Segtronic. It's an early field effect LCD from 1975, apparently Swiss made. That info's from a quick internet search, I never knew anything about the watch until I just looked it up. Apparently it's collectible to some, although I don't... 

I had a Memovox E872, but I sold it. I miss it....  

It’s looks to have been in great condition! Thanks for joining! Best Blomman
