solid contribution! 10/10 would read again


My dad gave me 3 of his old Seiko's this past weekend that I’m going to try and get up and running. One just needs to be fitted the other two may need batteries and a band. Never really been a seiko guy but I’m going to wear the shite out of them.

my parents gave me an engraved seiko for graduation which i've misplaced but i'm heading to my homestead in a few weeks and i'm going to scour the house in hopes of finding it.

i bought my dad a Swatch in the 1980s..a very understated (by swatch standards) black watch with a normal white face. my dad loved it SO SO MUCH. i never expected him to react the way he did but he wore that thing every day of his life. i loved my dad.

eta i'm not sure why but watches have always been the thing that bonded our family; from my granddad's omega to my brother's bulova to my seiko and the Swatch i bought for my dad.

I was given an old Seiko that my grandfather had which was given to him by State Farm for 30 years of service. I'd like to see if anyone could offer any advice on how to fix it. It is interesting because it has 2 crowns: 1 at the 3 o'clock position and 1 at the 9 o'clock position. The 3 o'clock crown has 2 positions. The 1st position doesn't do anything when I turn the crown either direction. I assume it's supposed to either set the time or the day/date. The 2nd position sets the alarm hand, and that appears to be functioning properly.

I assume the 9 o'clock crown is supposed to either set the time or the day/date, but as you can see, that crown is missing. Any idea how to fix this?

I'll occasionally wear my dad's Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust from the late 70's that I inherited. Used to wear it daily when I worked at the bank. Now that I'm in construction, not as often.

Saw these were up for preorder for delivery next year. I’ve wanted one of these for a long time.

Pre2020 Rolexes are top tier.


To add to the thread, Tudor BB GMT with a glomar nylon strap is my daily wear.

Decided to keep the Mido automatic. Put it in a wide band, to kind of mimic Brad Pitt’s Citizen Bullhead from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

My newest vintage pick up off FB.

1995 Seiko Kinetic. Band has been cut so it’s a little tight on my wrist, and damn near impossible to find a OEM replacement.

Don’t know if I’d call this a “luxury” watch. But I bought this Bulova about a month ago and it’s become one of my favorites..

Mine has been mine since I bought it from Service Merchandise, maybe 1996 or 1997 after saving up for it from mowing lawns. Still have the box, spare links, and manual. Got it overhauled about 10 years ago but seldom wear it.

I see this thread as a “watch” thread, anything from vintage to luxury.

Awesome watch BTW

Got this in a box of cereal in the 60's or 70's maybe?
