...Rich, I'll be watching the 'watchmakerfinds' auctions @ Ebay for the 'deco' 16 jeweller above...nice!...

Jim,
You can always make an offer before it goes up.

Hi Rich,
Two nice restorations! Thanks for sharing. Good luck on your ebay sale.

Tom H.,
Nice yard sale find. Thanks for sharing.

Rich & Dave,
Interesting wristwatch; LeCoulte Futurematic. Can either or both of you give us more info regarding these wristwatches?

Which wristwatch did you wear today?

With so many new members joining the IHC in the last six months, I thought it'd be fun to kick off this old wristwatch topic one more time. Let's see what wristwatch you're wearing today.

**** Not something out of your desk, your collection or your closet, but what's actually on your wrist
when you read this post.****

I've been wearing my IWC Fliegerchronograph for the last couple of weeks. When it's hot and sweaty, there's nothing to beat a nice all stainless steel, waterproof watch. ( Well OK an all gold combination may do it )

David! Great Post!

Only because I am thinking about selling this watch, today I decided to wear my Hamilton K-475.

Rene Rondeau calls this the "Holy Grail" of the Hamilton Asymmetric watches. It was made for only one year, 1961 (I think). I bought this example from Rene only after he found a NOS example.

I love this watch. I've never, ever worn it, until today. Today I needed a chance to see if I could be OK with selling it.

The Jury is out.

Still, you asked.

At this moment:

PPG service award watch for 36 years, Elgin 23-j 14k case. This is the Elgin where regulation is done by moving a small weight on the balance wheel.

Bill beautiful watch and a super rare one..bring that to the louisville show and i,ll trade you a nice timex for it. \\

dave nice watch i like that dial

Nice elgin John it,s great to have a service watch.

here is one i wore today a Benrus 17j in a Benrus stainless case, interresting dial on this one.

Great watches everyone. Today and for the last few weeks I have been wearing my 1967 Breitling GMT. It is huge watch measuring over 48mm wide not including the crown. It is one of my favorites.

I am wearing my Hamilton Boone - 1935

(The picture was taken before I added a new band to it - I think I bought this watch from Bryan and I think he took the picture too. I just can't remember things the way I used to - this advancing age thing stinks)

Today I wore the White Pinehurst. 14K white gold. Unengraved back. 987 movement.

I am wearing a Hamilton Grant in sterling silver with AGN numbers and blue steel fancy hands -

I am sorry there is no picture -

I realize that I am out of step with the rest of you guys, but today I am wearing my Casio radio controlled watch. Always correct to the second, and only $19.95 at Big 5 stores.

Jerry,
with that kind of accuracy, you can perform pretty accurate time checks on your Marine Chronometers.

Hamilton Trent circa 1956.

I'm wearing my NOS Elgin Deluxe 17j from the 50's. Regards! Mark

Today it's my 14K Accutron 214 from 1962.

Ulysse Nardin 1846 Marine Chronometer

...just back from an 'overhaul' in Calgary AB in the shop and masterful hands of Doug Sinclair, my Rolex Oyster Datejust now keeping 'quartz-like' time...btw: she just knows how to show her 'best' face at near 13:50 as well...
