New battery in my M7 Accutron and its back to life again. These are great for the ease of changing a battery.

This is what I wear, a most unique wrist watch, the case I made myself, the movement is an early 1870's 19 jewel Philadelphia Watch Co. Key wind and set. The movement is approx. 36mm. Never fails to draw a comment especially with the display back.

Very nice looking watch, on either side. I like the clear dial and see thru back.

Seiko Navigator Timer bought new in Japan in 1970. It's still my most dependable automatic wrist watch.

Great Seiko, Wayne!

Thanks, Wayne! Here's a few more shots.
I've had this watch for ~2yrs and haven't worn it much.
Put this bracelet on and it made it "just right" Cool

Harold nice work on the Philadelphia. That is a gorgeous watch.

Scott the band was made for that watch.

call me crazy, but I like to wear a Rolex GMT Master II from 1989 and carry a Hamilton pocket watch (990, 992, 992B).

Joe, could we see a picture of your Rolex GMT, please.

My Son lives in Christchurch New Zealand & I find it handy to keep NZ time on the GMT feature.

Here is a pic of my Bulova Astronaut that I wore today.

I am wearing my new Omega Seamaster Vancouver 2010, with white dial, red bezel, Omega caliber 2500 movement with co-axial escapement and with metal bracelet. Just love this one!

Joe, thanks for the pic of the Rolex GMT Master II. I don't think you are crazy to carry a Hamilton pocket watch (990, 992, 992B)for a backup. Big Grin

Just Kiding! Cool

Question: Is there a purpose for the red and black bezel on the Rolex or is it just for looks
There must have been quite a design dept. at these watch companies to keep the new ones coming out different from the year to year.
To me, the fun of having a watch is to wear it. I don't have any that are priceless I guess. That goes for wrist and pocket watches alike.

Bill the bezel has the numbers for 24 hour time. the colors on models before mine were red and blue. now the watch comes with all black bezel.

Joe, Thanks for the information. I was wondering also why the two different colors were used. Just because, maybe !!
