I don't have a picture of it. but it's my grandma Raketa(I don't know the spelling, and it's written in Russian anyway on the dial). that thing was what got me into the watch world. that thing is a beast. it's from 69(I think) and was daily driven. and my grandma loved that thing. she would only take it down to wind it or to keep it from getting really dirty. and when she would take it off, she had nails in wood, so she can hang it next to where she would sit, so she can see it.
she had a stroke and she would take the watch and keep it between her knees to make sure she can still wind it.
it's still on the original strap I think. that's what the watchmaker I took it in to told me.

First watch I purchased, Orient Mako Gen I.
And this eBay find, Wolbrook WT from 1974-ish
Late 20's or early 30's Gothic.
Pretty sure it's this:

1973
And this 1976 that I bought brand new and have owned now for 47 years.
1934 with box and papers.
1940 Vacheron tank.

It’s the oldest watch (of mine) that I still have. Around 17 years old. All the others from my teens and childhood are gone.
Elgin pocket watch from 1885. Heirloom from my great-grandfather.
I want to say 1917 Elgin
New Haven Watch Co. Tommy Ticker. Late 1920s
Nuts isn't it?!
This is my oldest. 57 years old.
This is the oldest timepiece I’ve bought. Technically it’s a pocket watch from a company out of Cincinnati Ohio.
I don’t know exact years (I am working on finding out) but all three are dated between late 50’s early 60’s
Pretty sure it's this:
1979 Seiko King Quarts

This 33mm cutie was gifted to me by the grandmother of my girlfriend, it's a Paul Burhé, automatic with a power reserve.
This model was made around 1955.
It need a leather band and a good clean, and a service off course, but the watch still work.
