Poor man's watch thread

My love goes out you, thank you for such a wonderful quot.

Been awhile since I read it, but there's a whole bit later about Arthur being glad for his hand-wind watch (being stuck on a planet with non-24 hour days).

My new Seiko Presage column wheel chronograph with vertical clutch ( I'm not sure if it belongs here but here it is ):

^ That's gorgeous. I've seen some really stunning pictures of the new Seiko Presage watches lately.

Just picked up these vintage citizens for $25 a piece, NOS-ish condition. I love sunburst dials and prefer no date watches, so these will make great semi dress models once I change the bands (case size 36mm). Ebay seller has a bunch more for anyone curious (as well as many other models in good condition)

If you liked that quote then you should read the book. It's filled with such witty quotes, mostly a satire on the then-society.

Yes! I love that part of the story, haha! In other news, i made a watch strap with scrap leather and Gorilla glue. Haha. My Aevig Huldra Blue on the Atlantic coast in Florida on said strap (zulu):

Love the shape, and seems like a good size for me. Can you let me know the seller?

Forgive the bad photo of my latest kop...I'll try and post a better pic this afternoon:

As far as I know all the SARB035s are the same color, so I'd say yes.

The SARB 033 is black. The SARB 035 is black but they are the exact same watch. Seiko changes model numbers (and reference numbers) for different variations in color.

Here's a (hopefully) better pic of my latest PMW:

Just saw this and really like it! Too big for me, though.

If the silver were more yellow/bronze it would be killer. Green and yellow/bronze is a great combo that isn't seen much.

Has anyone heard of Debert? I've been wanting to get an Omega Seamaster 300, but considering I am finishing up grad school, just got engaged, etc, I am still in the PMW club. The Debert looks like it could fit that itch for the next year or two. They have both a black and blue version of the watch.

Thoughts?

 

[TheWraith]

^ Looks like Debert is made by Parnis. Quality is probably not high then.

Here's a (hopefully) better pic of my latest PMW:

My latest kop btw is a Borealis Bull Shark no date in green, replacing my Christopher Ward as my alternate Sub beater.

Did anyone else get on board the Seiko Lagoon? I pre ordered my Samurai srpb09. Can't wait!
