Thread: Wrist Watches

Would you mind emailing me who did the work. I sent an email to Omega regarding sending to the factory for repair. Will be interesting to see what they say.

I've finally come to the conclusion that SRP is for me. Razors, watches, guns....love it. Been intrigued by watches for as long as I can remember. I applied to a watchmaking school here in PA, but didn't make the cut of 12 students out of approx. 200 applicants.
But I digress. I have two daily watches, a vintage Vostok mechanical and a newer automatic Slava. Both very reliable and tough.
The Omegas on this thread are amazing, but if I had my druthers I'd opt for a Sinn 757 UTC.

Introducing the 2010 AirNautic EarlyBird - my "WormCatcher"

The original Early Bird was manufactured by Ollech & Wajs in the mid-60s. A group of 24 hour watch folk decided to get an updated version built for 2010. Thanks to Mitch @ AirNautic and Dennis the 24H Moderator, my new EarlyBird has just arrived (#22 of 50).

Put a straight in the photos to introduce to the idea to guys over at 24H.

Looks very similar to the Glycine Airman. What mvmt does it have?

The movement is Swiss ETA 2893. Elabore grade
Case is Ocean7 G-1 rebranded as AirNautic for the build.
Screw down crown, water rated to 30 ATM

I'm a huge fan of the 24 hour analog watch. Something about the simplicity of one rotation, one day seems to make so much sense. I've got a cheap Dolphin, a Sturmanskie Traveller and just got a Botta Uno 24. I think I like the 12 at the top better than the 24. Anyone else have a preference?

i collect swatch watches and have been forced in recent times to sell off most of them.. i do however maintain my daily wearer of a swatch bunny sutra.. you can actually tap the face and the hands will meet together and spin like a roulette pointer and point out a position before returning to the proper time.. a big vulgar.. but it certainly starts some conversations at bars... it also looks a bit girly.. but when you exude masculinity like i do.. you have to play it down a bit as not to frighten small children..

I don't have either of these anymore but they were my 24 hr watches. Everytime I rotated watches it took me too long to adjust to the different display.

I wear this one daily. I have a few others. My favorite was a Longines given to me by my Granfather.

I see a downward (Upward?) trend in my life... I started with wristwatches... moved onto fountain pens and have come to straight razors... before long I figure I'll be riding a horse to work and have a home blacksmithy for shoeing my own horses.

From this thread, I've decided I really *NEED* an Omega Speedy.... that watch has been on my short list for years. I've got a Planet Ocean which I've abused to all ends and it still runs like a top.

Recently, I've become enamored with the titanium Oris divers... they've treated me wonderfully as well.

I have a few others which I love and adore... my Hubolt Big Bang I was wearing when my daughter was born... it will never leave my possession even if I decide I no longer wish to wear it.

I need to figure out my spouses camera and how to post photos efficiently on the web... On a very positive note, razors seem to be a much cheaper hobby than fountain pens... and fountain pens were worlds cheaper than good watches.
