.... this humble Caravelle Sea Hunter diver, made by Bulova, nickname devil diver (666ft waterproofed), sporting the snake hand which reminds the infamous - yet far more expensive - Longines diver Again, great bang for pretty low value ...  

It is beautiful and your photography is great.

I like that one 👍

These were initially made for astronauts only, later they were issued to military pilots as well, and apparently given to BBC reporters in Moscow. Strela, Poljot and Sekonda versions exist. But very hard to get decent ones nowadays and they are getting qu... 

Cheers JML ...  

Though you could argue it's my most expensive as it started my obsession with alarms. Cheers JML

Keep loving and enjoying them so much! Hagwe! Abel.

And both truly cool pieces 😊

I have few of these . Like many i do like the Seiko brand a lot and my love for the brand started with the more expensive Presage Enamel dial . After that one i was on the hunt for more affordable but great looking Seiko,s . Here a few from my collection ...

... catch them but they bring us much joy owning and wearing them. That was my feeling when thinking about the Theme for this week end. I love your humble collection and specially the Alpine model (which I have in my wish list since long time) and the las... 

Very cool pieces indeed 👌🏻

All thanks too you and others on this great forum who opened my eyes for the brand

But none more humble than this Sears dive watch with genuine Swiss mechanical movement (I wouldn’t dare attempt to get it wet at this point in its life). When I spotted it on eBay years ago I just had to have it. There was a time when Sears was ubiquitous...  

...  

... at present. As a matter of fact I got from them the orange, grey and black versions of this model with US Divers logo. Looking for a vintage example to add to the collection. A great watch which always brings me much pleasure wearing and I suspect it ... 

Nothing to be said against a Doxa Sub, of course 👍🏻👌🏻

... were shopping at the clothing departments my son and me visited the tools section to enjoy walking around discovering their treasures and always bringing home some new tool. A very nice watch from Sears you share here. It would be interesting to know ... 

I haven’t opened this particular watch, but I do know that Heuer made watches under the Sears brand name. I believe they were a version of Heuer’s Jack Ickx racing watch. There was a time when Sears was a retail juggernaut with many top brands like Kenmor... 

... specially those with tools and home machinery. Yes, you are right everything can be bought today with a click but not the same pleasure of past times! Cheers! Abel

Thanks for the stories, too 😊

...variations on a theme of materials Soething i always wanted from way back and picked up while on holiday in Verona An attractive offer for NOS many years ago---my favourite world time---like the case style and size my 'humble lot' HAGWE henry ...  

... attracted by them. The Bulova Accutron: a great classic from an era of revolution in watch making. And the Ebel World Time a watch I like so much. I would gladly buy one if the opportunity of catching a NOS example comes. Thank you so much for sharing... 

And I see Presage is strong with you 😉

it is colorful, simple and youthful if i might say so...and it was just <1000$ i contemplated for long time wondering will it really keep good time & to my surprise...the accuracy on this is +3 sec/day & have never been above or never slow ! my first Nomo...  

...your personal experience the accuracy is Top and the enjoyment of wearing them is what counts when considering any watch. Keep enjoying it so much my friend! Hagwe! Abel

Thanks Abel !!

A gift from my father when i was in college. His birthday tomorrow. Will surprise visit him at his house wearing this. ...  

... today to celebrate his birthday! I feel he will be delighted to see you and then discover your Sandoz on your wrist. A beautiful watch which will be always related with the image of your father. Enjoy so much your visit and the company of your father!... 

That’s the hoped for result.

This watch was worn by my grandfather in the sixties. My mother gave it to me a few years ago. I love it! It's plain and simple, 34mm, a Peseux caliber and nothing fancy, other than it was the watch of my grandad. Sometimes I think I can see champagne bub...  

A watch from a prestigious and traditional brand with a most important provenance for you makes it so special. I wish you’ll keep enjoying and loving it so much!! Hagwe! Abel

thanks for sharing a very personal one !! Best, mahesh.,

So here is my humble entry: issued by and purchased brand new from Vulcain in 2017. This is a limited edition run of 30 watches in sterling silver - so it regularly tarnishes! It is a direct ancestor of the first Vulcain cricket from 1947 and the cases (2...  

A rare piece from Vulcain with an interesting story behind. I’m sure it brings a smile to your face each time you wear it! Hagwe! Abel

Very unique piece. Penfriend is a true collector to seek out this rare piece.

No message body

The Braun AW10 was born out of the disgust that Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs had for the promotional watches that Braun was handing out to clients. Launched in 1989, this modest 34mm watch is still a design classic. HAGWE! ...  

I am really enjoying 34mm these days.

Definitely a watch I would still like to get - a truly fantastically designed piece 👌🏻

Hello dear Abel and friends ! I hope that everyone is enjoying the weekend and hopefully some September sunshine. If you really love watches, pleasure can be found at a simpler level ... Even for a Bond fan ... Moonraker ... Dr No ! ... Even “Goldfinger c...  

... in at a simpler level. Swatch made a great move with that special collection related with Bond films. The Moonraker with the Space Shuttle is my big favorite! And you show it with a great shot. The Goldeneye Seiko is a favorite of mine too. A lot of b... 

Your watches look superb in your opening post for WristScan. You certainly gave us all something to think about, starting with your Fossil “Open Dial”. Hope that you have a great weekend. Kind regards The Captain

... and our lives too. Surprising watch that Skeleton Fossil, isn´t it? ) Have a nice week end too my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.

Done differently. Let’s not forget the Roger Moore Bond wore a Seiko Calculator watch 😁

. . . humblest, Omegas in my collection before viewing your theme thread, Abel. Ca '53 Ω ref 2667 . . . . . . powered by the obscure cal 420 movement. It's the sort of watch that's not on anyone's radar . . . there's nothing to interest an avid collector ...  

. . . for most. But there's a special satisfaction gained from wearing a mundane masterpiece like this. Art

And so typically you, Art 👍🏻

... the pleasure it can bring us or the "worlds of discovery" we can find in a piece like your little Omega. Details on lugs, case, dial, handsets or movement performance your describe are all details which make it so interesting to a collector. Not to me...

Thank you for sharing your collection of "humbles"! Hagwe! Abel
