The wife just picked this up for me.

Nixon Sentry Chrono with leather band. I've always wanted a chronograph watch. I'm sure this will just push me into even more expensive watches.

My wife bought a Nixon last year for me, I love it, that is a good looking one as well.







I just received my REC watch, it is made from the sheetmetal of junked classic Mini Coopers. Each watch has how many were made from each car and what the Vin# is of the car it came from. Since I own a Classic Mini, I had to have one, even if the internals are kind of cheap. The novelty won me over.

Oh wow very very 50's dress/different/unique look to it and well executed. That style has been getting more and more popular lately though.

Very nice vintage stuffs you have there Tuff, not my style or taste at all but I can appreciate them for what they are, is that a 50's era hammie on the left?? I am more a Sport/Tool watch kinda guy lol

The one on the left is actually new. It's a Kent Wang.

Depends on a lot of things, labor is going to be fairly standard at a couple of hundered bucks if not more depending on what needs to be done inside as well. Parts are where you can spend a TON of money on restores. That said what part of MI are you in??


These Guy are Detroiters and are well know in the custom seiko world for doing some very very good custom and restore work, but they will take just about anything in to work on..

How have I not posted this on here? Probably my favorite watch to wear right now...



And I got this for my wife

[mrsleeve]

I recently found my dads old seiko H558 -5009. Its in rough shape. Needs new crystal, bezel repaint, missing a screw on the side, basically needs a full restore. Anyone here who knows watches have a ball park on how much it would cost to restore?

I will post pics tonight.

Here's my newest:


A Vostok Amphibia. My last Vostok unfortunately stopped working, it'd cost as much as I paid for the whole thing to have it fixed, so this time I figured I'd go in a slightly different direction. I love the character of these watches and this is at least true to its name being a completely in-house all Russian made watch. And its an automatic! Very cool to me.

Heres the watch i was talking about above. Id really like to get it looking good again someday.

[Rev Run D]

My dad's Seiko A-029-5000. c.1978. Not as baller as y'alls but an early example of a digital watch.

There are lots of good looking SARB's the 17 is not one of them too me at least. Its a very good watch but just nothing I would ever wear, now a SARB065 "cocktail time" is another story ..... I love my SARG that I have had on almost every day since June which is the current incarnation of the SARB line the 6r15 is a wonderful movement ....

There are 2 more in the current SARG line that I would like to pick up at some point, the the 011 and 015

If your looking for a diver you really cant beat a sk007. The only citizen I would like to pick up right now is the IWC Miramar knock off

This is the latest thing I have been drooling over though, I am not sure about the price/investment into a somewhat unknown (at least too me) brand

I was definitely thinking about the cocktail time when I wrote that.
