Sorry being new here I got it wrong
I didn't understand just how the WS threads work here as its confusing having a WS 13th Feb that isn't actually posted until the 19th but I will get the hang of it soon. Anyway my oldest watch is a circa 1974 Omega Baby PloProf 166.0250 and here are some nice pictures of it again but not quite so many this time.

The WristScan of Your Oldest Watch..... STARTS NOW!
Lets see them! I think my Ultraman is my oldest... Cheers Andrew...
7 years. In fact this is one si ma second automatic watch
I had a Seiko which stayed with me a couple of weeks. Something like the popular divers with 2 tone bezel.
I thought I was going to have a fright when I penned the picture...
But luckily was greeted by a very nice JLC. Very nice indeed and one I don't know. Cheers Andrew
oldest & longest
HI Thought id post both my oldest & the one I've had the longest First the oldest - a fabulous Futurematic - circa 1953. Took 3 years hunting to get this one. Not sure how long they were made , but not long so prob 1956 latest. Oris Big Crown pointer date...
Love the futurematic...
I have a friend who has one and you rarely see them these days. Certainly one watch that kept up with the future as is as good on the wrist today as when produced. Yours looks in great shape too. Cheers Andrew
wow - 2 porthole Futurematics, thats just greedy :-)
The blue power reserve one for me! Cheers JML
G that is nice...
Reminds me of an old Rolex but with a touch of reverso in the case too. Love the engraving on the side, a thing we have seen appear in some recent watches. Cheers Andrew
Oh, my. Pre-war vintage . . .
. . . Andreas Huber, Para, Stowa, et al., are rarely found here. Don't know if German manufacturers at that time had American distribution, but I've never come across one in the metal. Intrigued, Art
By far my Connie
Inherited when my dad died. And this is the oldest I\'ve bought myself. The Millie. ...
tnx
Guess the Connie has got something special for a lot of vintage collectors. Often I wonder how some of those old Omega\'s are so cheap compared to their Rolex counterparts (if you get my drift).
Two really cool watches.
The Constellation has a lot of history, and yours is very special.
Production can be dated to the early '60s, when the . . .
. . . 'Officially Certified' script was abandoned for a while on Connie dials. Don't recall for sure, but I think it was between '62 and '63, possibly extending to '64. Art
Very nice entries.
I like the names. Maybe I should start naming my watches to completely drive my wife insane.
A constellation with memories... even better!
and of course we all remember the first real watch we bought! Can't go wrong with a Milgauss. Cheers Andrew
That's the power of inherited watches
They will always come with large emotional value.
Lovely Connie Arie!! And with a lot of significance to you I imagine...
... Connies are true icons, and under rated by collectors I feel like you. A superb watch and a delight to collect! Hagwe! Abel
Rolex 6542. I think this is my oldest in age.
I thought this one would fit the bill. Enjoy Bill Rolex 6542 GMT. ...

Usually, the WS starts on Thursdays around end afternoon Paris Time, to end on Sundays end afternoon Paris Time.
But the most important is your watch. And I must say that this baby Ploprof is quite cool. Less brutal than the Ploprof, but not less charming. Best, Marc. Nicolas
Marc, it doesnt matter what time you turn up if you have a Ploprof!
Its my kind of watch and this looks in great shape. Have you had it a long time and what made you buy it compared to the daddy version? Cheers Andrew
I've had it since 4th July 2104
Hi Andrew it took me a long time to find an all original version as opposed to a service dial and bezel or a re made new case version and I bought it head only and then hunted down the period correct Omega mesh and Omega Isofrane and box for it. I really ...
That bezel is magical...
The colour and patina are fantastic. Great picture of a beautiful watch Bill. Cheers Andrew
Superb watch Bill!! ...
... 60 years makes it an oldie, and with a lot of charm and attractive!! Love it!! Hagwe! Abel.
Two comes to mind...
the oldest purchase some forty odd years ago and still running well after servicing my omega deville chronograph and my hermes ermeto--circa early 1900s--now at hermes for upholstering and servicing evaluation best ...
Nice Hermes...
This is the small travel clock right? Very nice indeed and something that is becoming quite rare. The Deville is something that will run forever if looked after, a really great looking chrono. Cheers Andrew
I would say the Hermes is
more of a non conventional pocket watch as you can fit it nicely in the palm of your hand and when closed measure some 2.5 cm x5 cmand less than a cm in thickness. best
Lovely Breitling Fernando!
You know every time I see a beautiful picture of a vintage one, I hunt around as it ticks a lot of my boxes in terms of the dial layout and case size. Then after giving up hope of finding the perfect one, I go back to sleep... then seeing yours makes me h...
Aahh.. We two share this Reference/ AOPA type !.. Best & HAGWE !.. :))
Nice "Retro" look.. Greetings from house to house ! Best, hs ...
Wow! Great picture Fernando. I have a very similar piece and now I am going to go get that strap if I can find it, never
thought that color would be so perfect. Really cool look. Best, Tim
It was the 1980's...
I had a summer job delivering blueprints all over Washington D.C. for an architecture firm. I felt like it was time for me to have a real watch, so I bought this Seiko from a fancy jewelry store near my office. Still have it. HAGWE! ...
Great memories tied up in that one...
and a really nice purchase! Whats the bracelet, it looks leather but then on top of metal links? Cheers Andrew
It's a croco embossed expanding bracelet...
My young self thought that was a cool/practical thing. Sigh.
Some things come back in fashion...
but hmmm sometimes you might need to wait a long time
Well this is not my oldest watch but it is the one I have had the longest.
I bought this new in the early 80's. I think it was Seiko's first analog quartz chronograph. 15 jewel movement, Teflon coated titanium case and bracelet. It was state of the art at the time! It's been a couple decades since I changed the battery, maybe I ...
Good to dig out the old ones...
and see if they still run (even after a battery change) and then put them back for another few years and get the delight all over again! Cheers Andrew
