Lets see them! I think my Ultraman is my oldest... Cheers Andrew...

I had a Seiko which stayed with me a couple of weeks. Something like the popular divers with 2 tone bezel.

But luckily was greeted by a very nice JLC. Very nice indeed and one I don't know. Cheers Andrew

I have a friend who has one and you rarely see them these days. Certainly one watch that kept up with the future as is as good on the wrist today as when produced. Yours looks in great shape too. Cheers Andrew

The blue power reserve one for me! Cheers JML

I love the decoration on the side of the case.

Reminds me of an old Rolex but with a touch of reverso in the case too. Love the engraving on the side, a thing we have seen appear in some recent watches. Cheers Andrew

. . . Andreas Huber, Para, Stowa, et al., are rarely found here. Don't know if German manufacturers at that time had American distribution, but I've never come across one in the metal. Intrigued, Art

Inherited when my dad died. And this is the oldest I\'ve bought myself. The Millie. ...  

Guess the Connie has got something special for a lot of vintage collectors. Often I wonder how some of those old Omega\'s are so cheap compared to their Rolex counterparts (if you get my drift).

The Constellation has a lot of history, and yours is very special.

. . . 'Officially Certified' script was abandoned for a while on Connie dials. Don't recall for sure, but I think it was between '62 and '63, possibly extending to '64. Art

I like the names. Maybe I should start naming my watches to completely drive my wife insane.

It\'s a nerdy business....that\'s for sure

And my freak flag, too.

and of course we all remember the first real watch we bought! Can't go wrong with a Milgauss. Cheers Andrew

They will always come with large emotional value.

... Connies are true icons, and under rated by collectors I feel like you. A superb watch and a delight to collect! Hagwe! Abel

Nice. Best to all, Tim

Your father did well leaving you that to remember him by.

What a lovely picture!

I thought this one would fit the bill. Enjoy Bill Rolex 6542 GMT. ...  

Excellent.

I didn't understand just how the WS threads work here as its confusing having a WS 13th Feb that isn't actually posted until the 19th but I will get the hang of it soon. Anyway my oldest watch is a circa 1974 Omega Baby PloProf 166.0250 and here are some ...  

Ploprof seamaster 600. ...  

But the most important is your watch. And I must say that this baby Ploprof is quite cool. Less brutal than the Ploprof, but not less charming. Best, Marc. Nicolas

Its my kind of watch and this looks in great shape. Have you had it a long time and what made you buy it compared to the daddy version? Cheers Andrew

Hi Andrew it took me a long time to find an all original version as opposed to a service dial and bezel or a re made new case version and I bought it head only and then hunted down the period correct Omega mesh and Omega Isofrane and box for it. I really ... 

The colour and patina are fantastic. Great picture of a beautiful watch Bill. Cheers Andrew

... 60 years makes it an oldie, and with a lot of charm and attractive!! Love it!! Hagwe! Abel.

the oldest purchase some forty odd years ago and still running well after servicing my omega deville chronograph and my hermes ermeto--circa early 1900s--now at hermes for upholstering and servicing evaluation best ...  

This is the small travel clock right? Very nice indeed and something that is becoming quite rare. The Deville is something that will run forever if looked after, a really great looking chrono. Cheers Andrew

more of a non conventional pocket watch as you can fit it nicely in the palm of your hand and when closed measure some 2.5 cm x5 cmand less than a cm in thickness. best

You know every time I see a beautiful picture of a vintage one, I hunt around as it ticks a lot of my boxes in terms of the dial layout and case size. Then after giving up hope of finding the perfect one, I go back to sleep... then seeing yours makes me h... 

Nice "Retro" look.. Greetings from house to house ! Best, hs ...  

A very nice example hs. Thanks for sharing. Best fernando

thought that color would be so perfect. Really cool look. Best, Tim

The dial is just lovely and the patina on the hands ... perfect!

Thanks, Tim

I had a summer job delivering blueprints all over Washington D.C. for an architecture firm. I felt like it was time for me to have a real watch, so I bought this Seiko from a fancy jewelry store near my office. Still have it. HAGWE! ...  

and a really nice purchase! Whats the bracelet, it looks leather but then on top of metal links? Cheers Andrew

My young self thought that was a cool/practical thing. Sigh.

but hmmm sometimes you might need to wait a long time

I bought this new in the early 80's. I think it was Seiko's first analog quartz chronograph. 15 jewel movement, Teflon coated titanium case and bracelet. It was state of the art at the time! It's been a couple decades since I changed the battery, maybe I ...  

and see if they still run (even after a battery change) and then put them back for another few years and get the delight all over again! Cheers Andrew
