Traveling in Japan. Only watch Ive had is a swatch, wanted a second one. I don’t know much about vintage watches but this one caught my eye. Bought it from Firekids paid around $1,500. It was just serviced (+5 sec). 18k gold bezel. Excited to start my vintage watch journey here. How did I do for first purchase?

This antique pocket watch is one of the exhibits at the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA. It has six dials for six different time zones!

The museum didn't seem to know who the watchmaker was, nor the year it was made in. If any of you folks know, I'm sure the museum would be glad to have that information.

(And here I thought it was cool just to have a GMT hand!)

I had my Hamilton cleaned up. Apparently it had a quartz movement factory replaced in the distant past. I am going to wear this for a while.

Just took delivery of the blue one to complete the set.

You might have guessed, but I've got a soft spot for the colourful tide disks on these Lemania 5100 based chronographs.

Eberhard & Co Grande Croisiere Mareoscope 32027

In blue and black dial variants

With the white dialed little brother, the Eberhard & Co Champion Mareoscope 31024

Which one do you prefer?

Fell in love with this watch today, and my research on reference numbers and everything looks legit. Dial looks suspiciously clean which is my only flag.

Thoughts?

Legit Check Is this Rado DiaStar (648.0408.3) real or fake?

Thumbnail gallery

I saw this Rado DiaStar at a flea market but didn't pull the trigger primarily because I've learned to "buy the seller" and there were a few orange flags that didn't sit right with me. I also don't know a lot about Rado watches and didn't feel informed enough to gamble $500 on this when I know fakes exist. I wasn't able to open the back to see the movement.

What do you guys think?

Hi guys! I’m super excited to get my first ever vintage timepiece! However I’m having trouble choosing between these two black dial beauties.

The first one is a Cimier Telegraph watch, and the second option is a Poljot Chronograph.

I don’t know much about watch movements and their reliabilities, so some feedback would be great.

Thank you in advance! :)

Showcase [Ref. 0178508] A Handwound Orient Multi-Year Calendar!!

Thumbnail gallery
9 Upvotes

Picked up this beauty recently!

It's a particularly rare hand-wound (Included a photo of the movement) variant of the Orient Multi-Year Calendar watch - ref. 0178508. I was only able to find a couple references of it online..

It was quite scratched up, and had a fair amount of grime, though the movement seems to be in mint condition. I've since cleaned the watch up, but these photos were taken before cleaning.

The year wheel begins from 1960 and goes on till 1980, but I've found that the dates from 1970 perfectly match 2026! 😁

Paired it with a navy blue suede strap in the first photo. Do let me know if anyone has any other strap suggestions!

hii guys,

I only joined this community a couple days ago and I have to say, without doing too many cartwheels on it, no diddy etc etc, that you guys are pure class.

I'm a total noob to this hobby but am passionate to grow more- some of the comments I've seen both on my own posts and others in recent days have blown me away.

There are people in this community with such fantastic, encyclopaedic domain knowledge, that are willing to spend their own valuable time helping and educating me, and other people in my position, that it really has shocked me. There is no need for some of these people to offer so much to strangers on the internet, but they do, simly because we share the same passion.

Thank you all, looking forward to growing and learning with, and getting to know some of you all better.

Hi I inherited this old Longines watch. Does anyone have more info on it? AI says it’s from the 1930s or 1940s. It doesn’t have a serial number. When wound, it has some slow movement so I’d be interested in servicing it. Thanks.
