    Let's see your mechanical watches

    If you like it, go for it. You have to wear it. I don't mean that disparagingly, but I'd avoid two tone for the gold issue I mentioned. Also, two tone gold and white was not very popular back in the day (although I have nice late 50's constellation with a gold and steel combination case) and...

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    If a bloke is wearing a watch 'till the leather strap rots, maybe a quartz retro job will suit his lifestyle and wallet best. No crime in that, but can I suggest get a chrome one. It will be a little more durable - the plating wears off the gold ones rapidly and they look really crummy.

    ^^^I have been a bit 'German' lately.... Top is a 90's reissue by Tag of the 1964 Heuer Carrera. The Hanhart is a 1939 Flieger Chrono. As previously stated you can get the Flieger Chrono in Poljot reps, although getting harder to find.

    Hoarders Have To Go.

    With old items, I always imagine myself as the custodian not the owner.

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    Consider a Hamilton Khaki Automatic in your search. I have two - a black military dial and a silver dial. Quality is good and they are reasonably priced on eBay. I feel they are attractive without being showy or blingy, and they have an American heritage - sort of.

    Long Lost Honeymoon Photos from 1939

    To me, color photo's of Britain from this era have a real quality of stillness about them. I hope they had a great marriage together, thanks for sharing.

    Anyone care to guess what the Tatra is worth?

    Hoarders Have To Go.

    I know a hoarder. Not only cars, he's gone through phases: farm machinery, lawn mowers, cars, aeroplanes, bicycles, building supplies, fence posts, golf carts, you name it. All sitting and rotting.

    Digital watches/clocks

    Digital clocks tell me the time. Analog clocks help me understand the progress of time as well. Here's one of my wall units: A ship radio room clock. The three minute red zones at 15min and 45 min past the hour mark morse radio silence periods to listen for emergency signals. The red...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Being something of a purist I hesitate to mention this, but I replaced the points in my otherwise stock 54 Belair with a Pertronix electronic ignition. The unit replaces the points and condenser. It will not overcome any problems with dizzy caps, rotors, coils or distributor shafts however...

    I'll bet it handles like a labrador on linoleum.
