My Tag Heuer 2000 bought in 1994. Had not seen it for more than 10 years, until a few weeks ago. My son's SKX009-J sort of gave up.

So I gave him my Tag Heuer. I changed the strap for the original bracelet, which was a little to big. I gave him the address of of a jeweler and told him, tell the owner I bought this watch from his father. The owner liked the story.
Hi All It's a pleasure to say this week's wristscan - The Forgotten - is now open ! So a few from me My Omega Genรจve from 1966 - inherited from my great uncle. Doesn't get a lot of wrist time, but definitely a keeper. Was inspired by Art's post on the Ome...
Doing well here in spite of Pandemia and hard economic and political hardships here in my Country. But health and family are well and thatโs the most important thing. I wish you and your beloved ones are doing well too. Best cordial regards. Abel
A slightly sad theme here really. My Seiko was a very accurate watch at that time. Now in the back of a drawer for many years. Box and papers in archive. Worth nothing now but takes up little space, so why throw away? Just part of my history. The Avia was...
BTW: still searching for a JLC Mark XI ( just have got an IWC one), never materialized so far ( the others: Mark VII, Mark VII Weems and WWW already in my stables). - So, still some homework to do, some hunt to follow.. Thx for this stimulating share, Bes...
Saw this many years ago in a shop window and naively liked the art-deco dial. Complete with contemporary jeweller's box. Recently serviced and going well although not very accurate. Clive For the youngsters among us, UK 7gns=ยฃ7.35 ...
You purchasing decision sounds perfect! I've more than once gone past a jewellers and stopped dead - only to come out slightly poorer shortly after. Thanks for sharing Cheers JML
...recently, whilst having a bit of a clear out, I unearthed a watch that I had completely forgotten about. I found it in an old jewellery box that had survived three house moves unopened. It is an English made Smithโs Imperial dating from the late 1950s ...

My dad bought this in the mid-80's when twotone watches were popular, and this Datejust is quite a reflection of it's time. He didn't wear it much, reserving wearing it to weddings and special events. He gifted it to me some years ago when he saw me getti...
I like tapestry dials so much. I also inherited a two tone DJ from my dad. I donโt wear it often because I am afraid it could be robbed as it has a strong nostalgic value for me. Otherwise I wouldnโt hesitate to wear a two tone watch. They got its chsrm a...
Here a watch i own for more then 20 years . I bought it after I purchased my Rolls Royce, though it would be a great couple . Tbh I donโt give it that much love that it deserves . I have more watches that I almost never wear but i also canโt part from the...
Looks very cool draped over Spirit of Ecstasy. I understand not being able to part with a watch despite not wearing it much. Never sold one of mine on. Cheers JML
... and with an interesting Theme which I feel will bring some awesome entries from our Community. Let me play with this Longines Ephemerides Solaires reference 5234 produced in a Limited Edition in 1989 to celebrate 100th Anniversary of the brand. Additi...
iโve identified a couple of tic-tacs, which in part were resting in some watchbox, but practically were not reaching my level of attention to again choose them in my rotation.. Several are children of the 60ies, others just not looked at for a whole while...

. . . I've never really worn. Ca '46 ฮฉ ref 2364 cal 30T2rg - acquired a few years ago, but never on my wrist for more than a few hours. Time to retrieve her from the safe . . . . . . for a test drive. Art ...
. . . but yes, it's long overdue for wrist duty. Here's another ฮฉ chronomรจtre . . . . . . I've had for even longer, but worn only once. This one's due for some wrist action, too. ...
I remember all of them...however, not everyone gets equal (or any) wrist time. Will chip in with a couple which have not been worn out of the house since I acquired them. Enjoy the rest of the weekend ๐ฅ ...
A cool pair ๐๐. Hopefully something we can all look forward to is escaping our homes and enjoying the outdoors. Something to look forward to! Cheers JML

And I have no access to my laptop for archive shots (childcare duties) let me try with these... My graduation Breitling Aerospace... The Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Ultra Slim, which is getting too little wrist time... And the Seiko Discus Burger - li...
You always choose great straps for your watches and the Breitling one is very cool with the watch. Hope that you and your family are keeping well. Kind regards The Captain
