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.

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??Originally posted by ALYKZANDYR View Post
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..

Oh wow very very 50's dress/different/unique look to it and well executed.

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.Last edited by ST1G; 04-07-2015, 05:22 PM.

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.

Just picked up this little gem. The damn thing looks like it was almost never worn. Serial number dates it to '83-'84. I like the matte dial and faded tritium. It came with the original bracelet with almost no stretch, but I like the more subdued look of the nylon strap.Attached Filessigpic

I have a Movado Valor square.. Sort of a girly looking watch but it's pretty classy and simple looking.
Dad has a Ventura V-Matic master with the rubber band.. I'm surprised as to how much I actually like the rubber band on that watch over the leather. I really, really like that thing. If I had the means to pick one up I totally would.
(Can't find a small picture for a embedded pic so here's a link)
Over time I have really grown a deep appreciation for nice time pieces. There's something about having a decent one around. Anyone else have a Movado? I've loved mine..Last edited by Nesset; 04-07-2015, 04:45 PM.-1976 2002 daily (Sold)
