Any watch people here???

I have a 1942 Rolex Oyster Essex that I rarely wear, but it's an incredible little piece. My daily wear is a Tag Link Calibre 6 that has taken a god awful beating and keeps on ticking. My next watch will be an original Glycine Airman....had one a few years ago that I picked up really cheap and I flipped it because I needed cash....regretted it as soon as I sold it....now I can afford one again and I want it back bad!!

Pics!!!!

I'm on my second G-Shock ....the other still works fine. One digital , one analog hands. They are the only ones I don't break ! My daughter gave me my first for Christmas 5+ yrs ago....wife gave me the second one last yr....I love em!
Off subject of wrist watches...can anyone on here give me info on pocket watches if I give you pics ? Got two older ones...Waltham and Elgin. If so I'd appreciate it!

I'm by no means an expert, but I've flipped a few waltham and elgin pockets....they're good little machines, but it seems the lower end, solid pocket watch market is in the throes of death. How old are ya talking? RR models are really the only ones that seem to be desirable these days and even those not so much.

the Tag, I love this thing for how durable it has been, I've drenched it in every chemical in my garage with no issues

the glycine I kick myself for selling

a crappy pic of the Rolex next to a Seiko I managed to kill, it's in the safe upstairs right now and this is the pic I could find digging through my photobucket

I've been sporting a Luminox lately and am very pleased with the tritium!

That's a great looking watch! If I hadn't been dumping money into an AR Pistol build, I'd have bought one recently to use as a beater watch, they sure will take a beating!

Just got my Rolex Sub back from getting a service and a new sapphire due to a small scratch.

How much did the service run you (assuming you don't mind me asking), and was it done by Rolex? Thanks and great watch

 

[atw77]

Thanks. It was done by the jewler my boss gets all his watches from in Tampa. I think it was around $400 to service,polish the watch, and replace the crystal. I know if you have it sent to Rolex it runs $750 for just the service.

Indeed, my watch maker is in Tampa too actually.. Interesting!
