Wrist Scan March 23rd: '70s . . .
. . . style. Was there ever a period in wristwatch production more easily identifiable than the mid-'60s to mid '70s? Cushion cases, C cases, octagonal . . . the high point in watch design, imho. This week, let's share the '70s - or '70s inspired - exampl...
C cases?
I love c cases but mostly comes prior to the 70es... Well... There's one though... But rarely worn it out nowadays.... 🤣 Well I got some more 70es child but not that funky 70es... Classic tv style... The classic floral dial... With onyx crown Looks incred...
Thanks mate! 😄
I'm considering myself to be lucky to stumble across these pieces... So many kind of them but rare enough to fit my taste, haha. HAGWE! Best Jev
Thanks Al! 😄
Now I'm trying to get the 60es or prior pieces, much challenging than 70es in a good shape... HAGWE Al! Best Jev
Beautiful collection Jev! I´m specially fond of the Connie "C" variant. It is less popular than its pie pan brothers among collectors, but no less interesting to collect...
... and enjoy on the wrist! Thank you for sharing your beauties! Hagwe my friend! Abel
Agreed!
There's something charming about c cases. Pie pan a bit on smaller side on the wrist so c cases are nice updates for constellation lines... Hagwe to you too dear Abel! Best Jev
Gotta love '70s TV screens! . . .
. . . and why not? '70s TV . . . . . . rules ;-) . . .
They're all cool imho, the kanji Seiko . . .
. . . not the least. That 1000M SM [ref 166.093] is a serious piece of hardware, too . . .
I don't miss it all that much though as it never kept time on my wrist
Gave it to the watchmaker who wore it for a week and it never stopped Swapped it for a VC triple calendar ...
Mitch K has one . . .
. . . and I've seen its workings, accomplished with mirrors. Perhaps the ultimate '70s watch: born, bred, and extinguished within that decade . . .
Metallic brown the colour of the 70s
Hi A few from late sixties and early seventies. There's something about a metallic brown dial! Or of brown isn't your colour Cheers JML ...
Thanks - had been thinking about one for a while, until took plunge.
Been a good choice. Nice to add an automatic alarm.
Love memomatic!
Here I am still struggling to find one with decent price and decent condition... Congrats! Best, Jev
I was lucky- just dropped on one
You find watches you want in unexpected places and times. Cheers JML
Brown Seikos and grey Omega, all '70s icons. There's a brown version . . .
. . . of the GS 56 I wouldn't mind adding to my collection. My eggplant '72 GS 56 . . . . . . should have a stablemate . . . ...
Your Flightmaster is just beautiful, Art! :)
As you know I love the Funky 70s! Here is a sneak peak of one of my Omega from that decade... Will come back with more tonight...! Best Blomman ...
Whohoo!
Spotted one but haven't pulled the trigger... And got robbed from marine... 🤣. Should I take it or leave it?
Oh, there was never a doubt . . .
. . . of more examples in your collection, blomman. Especially when you've got storage accommodations in Fort Knox. Nicolas says your stash is just across the bullion. ...
What do you do when you can't decide...
...You wear them all... (Two of them are not mine, borrowed from a dear friend) ...
Love the sailing watches, and the blue JLC too!
Great line up - wish someone would approach me in a bar, draw up a sleeve and say ‘wanna buy a watch’ with that collection ;-)
2x 70ies: 1) "Funky Style" with the Tissot Research from ca. 1973 and 2) "Classy Style" with the AP RO A-3x from June 1972.
......and the AP RO is pictured next to the 1972 Texas Instruments Datamath. Cheers, HSTE ...
Oh my friend HSTE! How many memories this last shot brings to me!! I was presented one of these Texas calculators by my father in law in 1974. It was something...
... I coveted so much and not many young guys owned those days! I feel I still have it ... somewhere! I need to urgently look for iit now!! Lovely AP of course! Hagwe! Abel.
I remember when these calculators came out . . .
. . . and those of us with slide rules in math class were at a disadvantage. ;-) Today, I'd give anything to remember how a slide rule works.
