A lot of beautiful watches on this thread. I recently bought my first luxury watch, a new to me TAG Aquaracer Chronograph.
I have 2 decent watches. An Omega Aqua Terra and a Rolex DateJust. The Rolex is my favorite watch. I wear it daily.
The Datejust is simply gorgeous.
Well wear.
Lovely Seamaster.
Again, well wear.
I received an offer that I couldn't refuse on the Speedmaster Reduced and replaced it with a Moon Watch 3570.50 model. My late fathers birthday was July 21, I'll think about him when I wear it.
No, his birthday was easy to remember because as a young boy, he told me the date was the same as the moon landing.
I think these are one of the very few watches I love that don’t have a plain face. Im never a fan of chronograph watches as I think the dials make the face look cluttered and distract me from reading the time. But this one is gorgeous
Yes, I think that it’s laid out perfectly, has an amazing history and is quite attractive.
Very attractive, - I love the clean lines, and sheer legibility of the watch - with a lovely story behind it.
Well wear.
Thanks for posting this! As a great fan of the 'real' Speedmaster Pro Moonwatch, imho your's was a shrewd move replacing a reduced Speedmaster by a Cal.1861 Moonwatch.
Although some may feel that a watch in this price range should be an automatic, these particular Speedmasters are a joy to own:
i) For their fascinating history - especially the famously timed 14-second burn that saved the crew of Apollo 13, performing without a hiccup in the vacuum of space, and......
ii) Also the very satisfying requirement to hand-wind the watch which provides an enjoyable, real connection between the timepiece and its wearer. I have similar vintage Moonwatches with the first iteration iconic cal.321 and subsequent 861 calibre. (Link)
OG Sturmanskie MARS space certified, first 140 went to the Russian Space Agency. 146 has been strapped to me for many a year...
Deadly accurate for a mechanical watch... as it should be.

Is this watch from the Soviet times, or after? I once had a Soviet one called Komandyrskie. A very accurate mechanical watch.
The Sun, our star took it toll on the strap over the years...
Not a safe queen by any means a well worn watch and a firm favourite.

Post, but most definitively Russian in design. Movement is ETA to meet certification for space (shock resistance). The OG MARS are very few and far between. I was working a contract in the East at the time, rest is history...

The Seamaster was delivered and it looks better than described, I’m clearly an Omega fanboy now.
Lovely
When I found out we were expecting a son over 18yrs ago I went out and bought him a Rolex Explorer 2 to give to him on his 21st. But had I not done so I think I would be getting him a Seamaster. It's a nice classic watch.
Shared a lot of time, but overall I still prefer Black Magic...
Still find this watch to be unique & stunning after all the years...
Q-6
As a child, I admired the adverts for the TAG Heuer S/el. I even requested a brochure and must have spent hours looking through it. When my parents gifted me some money, I used it to purchase this:
Finally picked up a 35mm Tissot PRX in gold, automatic version. I had been waiting a long time for it to release then totally forgot about it until recently.
I'm sure it would interest myself and others to see a photo(s). It's interesting to see there is still an interest in 35mm size casings, as 39mm+ appears to be the general trend, especially for men.
