Watches - another OCD problem

@Anesthetist:

Broke out this '60s King Seiko today. Slow beat manual winder, seems perfect for a relaxing day.

Great looking watch setting off a damn near perfect look today. Well done!

Nice catch Seul and what a nice King Seiko A., wow

[Megatron1505]

Ok, boom time. Mako or Monster? First response and I buy.

[Finn666]

Mako…boom!

[Graeme]

Aren't you going to get an Apocalypse Watch Mega?

[derivative666]

Great watch Love my U-Boat

[Seul]

Seriously?..

[derivative666]

Don't understand

[Seul]

I don't understand the people that'd voluntarily wear that…

[derivative666]

Agree to disagree, I don't have girly wrists I need a watch that is substantial 44mm-46mm for me.

[joesaintjohn]

Thought I'd toss my daily wear up on this thread.

[Seul]

Not my kinda Rolex but damn son… Ballin...

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody could provide me with some details on this watch.  I recently found it going through some of my late father's things and had the battery replaced.  I haven't been able to find anything through google, so hopefully someone here knows a little bit about it.  I don't know the value but I do not think it to be worth very much.

I have decided it's time to simplify my life.  I will be selling all my current "good" watches and using the funds to buy just one watch I can wear all the time.  So the following will be being sold:

2 x Breitling Chronomats - both stainless steel
1 x Patek Philippe vintage (1954) gold manual wind calatrava
1 x JLC gold, time/date/day/month/moonphase with JLC deployant clasp

If you have a serious interest in any of these, PM me.

What are you thinking of getting as your everyday watch, Giles?

[Giles]

It will be my only watch (apart from a couple of Seikos).

Something that I can treat like shit and just know it will keep on going, so this….

fucking hell Giles, your taste isnt slipping.

[Seul]

Eesh… And I thought I had expensive taste...

[Giles]

I'll make way more than the cost of the 50 fathoms selling the 4 watches that I have.  The Patek and The JLC I picked up very well about 10 years ago, will have made a lot on both of those.  I'll lose on the Breitlings, but on balance I will be up….
