At the other end of the scale from the Yacht-Master. A 1940s' Gruen 'Curvex'. Tiny by modern tastes. 25mm! In near mint condition. Less than £500. I like it a lot and have another similar one.

I have a 1/100 special edition Christopher ward that the wife got me on our wedding day. It has a piece of an Aston Martin dash board from the dbr 1/2 that won Le Mans in 1959 in the back. The number 5 was the cars race number.

I had a piece of a Ford Anglia in my Timex watch. I dropped it in 1962 and the bloody car drove over it.chuckmiester wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 7:34 am I have a 1/100 special edition Christopher ward that the wife got me on our wedding day.

That is a lovely watch and it's rarity makes it even more so. What a wonderful gift.

These are so good. You have a wonderful collection.Busterboo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 8:14 pm Another of my favourites - these are all my own watches, even if the images aren't - the Omega 'Heures Sautantes': Jumping Hour.
Manufactured for only two years, the casework is outstandingly good. The movement is a modified 2892 and the dial a lovely 'salmon'.

Here's the movement of a Longines I bought recently for my wife. Notice the gold chatons:
9ct gold, fully serviced, less than £500.

I find it surprising how recently 'small' watches for men were still made. So, this Elgin - a brand often given in the USA for college graduation and so on - is only 24mm wide, but was marketed in 1960. Like many watches in America then, the case is 'gold filled' - i.e. plated thick enough to engrave. I like it for several reasons, not least because it has an unusual free-sprung balance.

Had this Ulysse Nardin San Marco briefly, with an enamelled guilloche dial by Donze Cadrans (now owned by Ulysse Nardin), but didn't like it, because the guillochage was hidden by the deep colour of the enamel. A case of one quality concealing another. (Like the Omega Jumping Hour already posted, a 2892 movement.)
