Got all the gang together at last....time for a quick'n'dirty SOTC

[Der Amf]

With the arrival of the GUB Glashutte 1980s dress watch and then the return of two watches from being serviced, I've now got all ten of my collection together

Taking photos of watches isn't easy, and the difficulty doubles with each watch added to a photo, so I'm not going to attempt any photo better than this one:



As you can see, I've got them all paired up - in my head I've five different styles of watch and I've two of each....

[Der Amf]

1. Two automatics:

Weekday watches that get usually get worn in a stretch from Sunday to Thursday

Nivrel Coeur de la Sarre



Beijing Zungu



Both bought new
both big for me (42mm and 40mm)
both with bezels sitting on the case
both hacking
both about +10s/d
both have numerals
one dark dial, one light dial
one centre seconds, one small seconds

[Der Amf]

2. Two vintage Seikos

also worn as daily wearers, but also at other times when I need or want to look smart

Skyliner (1968)



7000-8000 (1971)



both manual
both 37mm
both sunburst
both centre seconds
both plain indices
both with integrated lugs
one dark dial, one light dial
one really cheap, one a bit more pricey

3. two Eastern Bloc dress watches

usually worn on Fridays and Saturdays

Luch de luxe 2209 (70s)



GUB 09-20 (80s)



both manual
both 35mm
both light dialled
both thin
both with thin, discreet bezels
both bought off fellow forum members :-)

one three hand, one two hand
one very minimalist, one with fantastic numerals
one German, one Soviet

4. two pretty little things

get worn as and when I feel like them

Sparky (60s)



Sterling silver cushion case (1922)



both tick at 18,000
one quietly, one VERY LOUDLY INDEED

Loving this so far, you have some great pieces, DA

5. Two quartz

worn when needed

Casio Edifice



Swatch Pumpkin Rebel



both bought new
both over 40mm
both have a degree of WR for peace of mind
both cheap and robust enough and easy to replace enough that I can wear them when I don't want to be worrying about their getting smacked about

Oh look, I seem to have followed the same pairings and order as my signature, what were the chances of that?

Until this last couple of pieces I was beginning to wonder how you knew what date it was !!

One of them appears to be giving the wrong date....but which one....? *checks phone*
