this is a cool thread. I know nothing about watches...what have you done. 

It's a slippery, slippery slope. You think you can waste money on jeans? Man...

You guys have some choice watches. Here’s my 1983 Rolex datejust. My dad got it as a wedding gift when he got married and then passed it on to me when i got married. 

Nice. Dunno what it is about a simple nato strap on a Rolex but... yeah. Want.

70's Seamaster. My sister used to do the books at a pawn brokers and found this for me for cheap. Got a new strap online somewhere.

Yeah I’ve got a lot of different straps including the original jubilee, Hermès tie strap and other more colorful nato but i wear the plain single color ones most of the time.

It's cool when you can switch the straps and it feels like a different watch.

60s Sportsmatic, found pretty much NOS, on a  NOS but probably later Seiko branded Stelux chainmail bracelet:

My seagull 1963 Reissue. Love the watch, it's very quirky and unique. I have Been saving up to buy a dive style watch, maybe a Seiko or Orient. 

[volvo240thebest]

^Was waiting for you @louisbosco!!

I'm a big fan if the cosmograph daytona. On the left is my stainless steel version. The one on the right is my friend's rose gold model with diamonds. His is a little blingy for my taste but different strokes i guess...

GS/TP Trade Pattern on a Tender strap:

[bartlebyyphonics]

like this thread; the quality is top! seiko & gs/tp = hella yes

a meagre picking from me i'm afraid

my mainstay, a bulova i found on a street one day... its strap had failed and it decided to swap owners; have had it a good 15 yrs now

[louisbosco]

hahaha @aho i don't have much to show except.... maybe this..

 

YEAH. KEEP ON DREAMING LOUIS. This is more likely, my other occasionally worn counterpart. that patek was beautiful though. had the luxury of being shown around the PP showroom in london, 1 of 3 in the world with a workshop in the basement as well..

I wouldn't dare touch a Patek, or an FP for that matter (my personal holiest of holies) for fear of illusions of grandeur...Very cool experience though I'm sure!

Mostly this - beaten up 1971 speedy.

My favorite watch

[rbbtncd]

Casio dw5600

[aho]

Strong showing everyone...Curious if anyone is also on watchuseek?

Additionally, any 2018 purchases in mind? More Seiko for me, but I want an MM300 (ref. SBDX017) as they'll be removing the "MARINE MASTER" text moving forward if the 2018 leaks are anything to go by. Also considering a 9F quartz GMT from Grand Seiko, reference B8T007. I'm still embarassed by the faux Rolex design on the top two, but very cool to finally have a 9F GMT:
 

Would've wanted the 6159 historical reissue as it's my favorite watch of all time, but too rich for my wallet:

Waiting for a Nomos club with display back to be delivered - quite looking forward to that.

Other than that, something I’d like to get a nice panda dial chrono - maybe a top time.

It's hard to believe how Casio used to be a joke watch you got at Woolworth's, then was all the rage with G-Shock (had one in high school) and now they have trendy G-Shock stores in swanky shopping districts.

oh how i wish there wasn't a waiting list for the nautilus/ aquanaut because that's the one i've been lusting after. although i did get a "wink wink" on that list if i ever one day decide to put a solid down for that one day. funny, just the other day, i was thinking about x+1 and how there couldn't be any grails as there's always room for 1 more. and now you've reminded me of FP Journe. Those watches are beautiful. sadly i haven't come across one in person yet

for 2018, hopefully a 6694 rolex ideally or the apple watch (don't laugh!) celluar has been on my mind of late..

Tudor today- 9ct presentation watch for 45 years' service with British Rail:

Apart from some missing lume in the hands it (was) in pretty perfect condition. Particularly happy that it has the Rolex signed crown:

[Nei.Nor]

Love the super thin and delicate looking lugs on that.

[zwer]

So many nice watches in this thread.

1990 Speedy 861 for me. 

[Nei.Nor]

Just took delivery of this - love it!

^ Nomos is great, not only with their unique designs, but since they make their own movements and offer a level of fit & finish that rivals watches two or three times the price.  The Orion 38 Datum is another beauty:
