With all the talk of Art Deco, I decided to wear one of mine! Not the greatest manufacture but Swiss made, I like it! Smile

Ronda, I really like your Mimo, with fancy enameled flowering!

I love the ladies watches from the 1920s and 1930s and I primarily focus on the enamels. Most collectors seem to concentrate on the men's watches, so the women's are easier and less expensive to acquire.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about watch repair. After the holidays, I plan to research classes so that I can repair and maintain my collection (which, to my husband's financial dismay, continues to grow).

Hi Ronda,
Very nice petite LeCoultre. I love colorful watches but must confess, I prefer mens since they are larger and more easily readable. Roll Eyes Smile And, as we know, many mens watches are not very colorful and flamboyant. Smile

Not flambouyant or interesting, but I like it. The October 2005 contract GSAR Marathon divers watch is issue for Canadian and U.S. forces...and NASA. Tritium illuminance, ETA 2824-2 mechanical movement, and 300 Meter resistance.

Normally I'd be wearing a Gruen Curvex, but today was a special occasion (not really, but I did go back to work after the holidays) so I wore my 14K white gold Waltham. Movement serial number puts it around 1917, case hallmarks are early, so it might be a genuine First World War watch. Regardless, it's a neat old piece, and very accurate too.

Hi Folks,
Not sure if this thread is still on-going, but here's my old Record 'War Horse'. Done sterling sevice over the last 8 years or so during daily use & abuse. Unfortunately I carelessly grazed the crystal on the house wall today, hence the scar on the pic' ....out with the tool kit!
Regards to All.

Yesterday (and today) I've decided to wear this solid 14K Accutron, Day/Date Model 218.
The watch has an M9 marking (1969) and I think it's a pretty sharp looking item.

I've just noticed when I took this picture that the sweep second hand is completely
lined up with the minute hand. Talk about a well timed picture Smile

Afternoon Dave.

Not a great lover of the "Roman numeral" but looks swell on your Accutron.

Agree with you, excellent timing!

Roy.
