Old(er) watches

Cimaomo

This is the oldest wrist watch I own. This was given to me by my mom when I was in high school, some 20 years ago. Indiglo still works, keeps great time. What’s your oldest watch? How often do you wear it? And do you have a dedicated day that you wear it or hold on to it for the memories?

My oldest watch is a Timex with M24 movement from 1969. Bought it 6 months ago, wasn't running when I got it, stripped and cleaned it and it runs fine now. Don't wear it very often but it was the first watch I ever repaired so will be a keeper.

I have a 54 Pobeda and two from 55; a Sturmanskie from 57; a Vacheron from 40 (movement is in my profile). The VC comes out on special days, the others come out anytime.

Same watch.. last piece of memory from my late dad. I don’t wear it so I don’t damage it.. however, I make sure it is running

1049 2469 is all I know about it tbh. Wasn't running when I bought it and no previous history given on it.

It appears to be a Timex Mercury but maybe this will help you track it down further
