Thread: What types of watches do you like?

Just received and installed my custom crocodile strap for my Lacroix.
Guy in V.N. Makes them by hand in line with the original odd dimensions that the mfgr had dictated with the model.

A wide strap up near the watch, with the attachment lugs set back from the edge some so the strap rides above the pivot point slightly.

Happy with the results, and it smells incredible!
And I picked up a solo winder to keep this one charged all the time off Amazon

Quiet as a mouse, and so far, works well at a 2 min on 8 min off routine, switching directions each cycle.
Cheers gents.

Spectacular Mike, love to see a closer shot of the dial.

Looks like it's most likely an Annual Calendar, only have to change the date once per year. If it's a Perpetual Calender....that's an incredible find.

Looks like the old Genta designed case...the old Patek Style "gondola"....very nice.

As mentioned, close up shot of the dial would be great! Right up close, saw the earlier pics....

edited to add: You'll have to Google it, but there is a website that lists most watches and references that specifies exactly what you need to set the watch winder to, frequency, direction, etc....worthwhile to look up.

Hiya Andrew! Thanks, I’m lovin the new wrap yup.
And I can say this is annual, as I had to advance the date two days ago.
As requested, close up of the dial.

I like the way this rides on the wrist. Bigger than any of my others, with a 70s feel kinda clunkyness.
I’ll google that site for set up info.
Thanks.
Crazy weather huh?!?
Thunder in Early match yet..

Yes, some major thunder happening down here....white out snow...in Toronto!!! Can you believe it!



That is a spectacular watch...I'm envious...love the moonphase and the annual calender.

Can you find a reference number on the watch...love to look it up and read some about it.

Any classic watch with a moon phase hits the spot for me.

If you get tired of that watch feel free to send it over to me.

That’s a funny bit! Specially with how sensational everything is becoming,,
The watch is an MP 6439 tonneau case.
Hope spring is around the corner buddy! Got some roads to drive,!

Just a few from the collection, I have OCD,obsessive collection disorder. Top Rolex from the 80s,second is a certified chronometer from Invicta when they actually made good watches, and the third is a Ball,from the bronze collection.

Tutima 1941 fligerchronograph, and a IWC..I have about seventy more, but not a good camera, I think next time I'll post the whole bunch together, it'll be easier that way.


And a few more...

Always liked the look of the IWC lineup.
And the 39mm and smaller Rolex, the ones I’d like to sport on my wrist someday if I find one.

Only 70???

Maybe some day you'll catch up to me. I have around 90 counting pocketwatches.
