Did you inherit your dad's watch?

My father was a bit of a watch guy.  I can remember, as a child, peeking in awe into his watch drawer.  He didn't have anything too fancy but this lit...

commented on Opinion: date hands are trash ·

For me a date is practically a necessity.  Having said that I'll admit I've only ever had watches with a typical date window - never had a pointer date.  I'd like to try out a pointer for a while and become accustomed to reading it that way.

By the same token that I prefer analog timekeeping over digital because it gives me a visual reference to the flow of time rather than a somewhat abstract numerical value, the date could be read the same way.

I love these old Nivada Chronomasters.

Old Tudor Subs are fun too.

Both of these multiple sets are somewhat diminished at this time as I sold one out of each group.

Thanks John.

Only the Super Pro is still with me, and of course I have sellers remorse on both the Heuers that were here for a while but have now continued on their respective odysseys.  It was my good fortune that they visited with me even for a short time.

Happy Monday.  😉

Chronograph love.

My fondness for vintage chronographs like the Nivada Chronomaster is reinforced by the gorgeous movement details - here a Valjoux 23 column wheel.

Anyone else into vintage Tudor Subs?

The Rolex/Tudor Submariner is more or less, in my opinion, the perfect watch.  I guess it all depends how you define"perfect watch." I got into vintag...
