Watches and Denim

40s mido miltifort. Hands have been replaced. It was cheap tho.

^really nice. The case looks exactly like a West End Watch Co. PRIMA I have in a box somewhere. I wonder if it's the same case maker (or put together from parts at some point). Either way looks lovely.

Probably same maker for the case. This is really small, like 29mm.

Bumper movement, and yeah, the case is a British manufacturer that made the screw back hexagonal cases.

This has been in my collection the longest. Here with PBJ Ai, Gustin, & Jamieson’s.

You have won the thread…Huge congrats!

I might have a couple other interesting things coming this week. It's a weird synchronicity of un-planned opportunities and old orders all coming together now...

My other cheap watch…

This one needs a little work, but I like it.

My girlfriend got me this for Xmas, but was too excited to not give it to me.

Seiko 6619 movement

[cheapmuthafukr]

After wearing this for a day I’m loving it. It’s been worn to the point most of the original gold plating is worn off, but it is within 30 seconds after 24 hours. I’m sure most would see the missing gold as a defect, but I actually like how it looks.

$12 Facebook marketplace pickup… running well. Just needs a 16mm strap.

Now this one’s cool… small vintage Braun diver

New Nato strap for the Omega, quality is outstanding for the price.

Denim is Orslow '40s coverall, the denim is beautiful.

What is that Omega called? from what year?

[cheapmuthafukr]

This one was $6 on eBay. Something was rattling in the case, so opened it up, removed and cleaned the underside of the rotor and reattached it. Closed the case back up and the rattle is gone and it’s working perfectly.

@goodrain It's a Dynamic, from the early 90s.

Really unpopular for a while but they seem to be having something of a renaissance recently.

I think it’s pretty awesome… how big is the case?

Why would you need socks? Everyone works from home remotely, don't go outside.

And the watches make people be in a perpetual rush and suffer from being late, instead of sitting at home on the couch without socks and listening to Haydn.

I lost my watch and was late for work so now I’ve been sacked. I can’t afford to pay my heating bill so had to sell all my Haydn records to buy socks to keep warm.

It's so sad when you have to sacrifice one for the other. I'm warm indoors, I have socks on, Haydn is on a streaming service. And I don't have to go to work.
