NCRich 13,746 Posted July 26, 2018 I've gotten obsessed with these inexpensive vintage watches. They are so cool and the size is one I like. 35-36mm. Apparently I like expansion bracelets too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffy 105 Posted July 26, 2018 Those are awesome looking. Especially the two turtle shapes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jibuti 958 Posted July 26, 2018 those are good looking.... but considering it is only 36 mm stuff you need to wear half-a-dozen of them for mensch-feeling.... like bracelets.... oh wait.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,285 Posted July 26, 2018 Hard to argue against any of those Rich; nice, elegant watches. Except the gold monstrosity of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J!m 289 Posted July 26, 2018 These are quite inexpensive too! Putting one of the "turtle" cases (as coined above) on a Bund strap and it'd wear quite heftily! Can you link the source please? Or is it the Watergate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikosaldente 630 Posted July 26, 2018 There quite old.....Before the watch companies leave the term "Waterproof" for "Water resistant" I don't think I could pull them off quite yet, but if you like them Rich, enjoy wearing them mate! Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J!m 289 Posted July 26, 2018 I believe it was the late sixties that the "proof" had to be dropped... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you link the source please? Or is it the Watergate? @Daffy gave me the two turtles. Albeit not in the shape they are in now. They were pretty messed up and didn't really run. But a bit of TLC and they are nice. Thanks Daffy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VERY nice work there, Rich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruddz 0 Posted August 9, 2018 Really like them and the bracelet, been wondering if I could pull of a gold bracelet like that on my orient gold watch. What are the names on these watches ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueoysterboy 17 Posted August 9, 2018 I have a few watches in the 36-38mm size range. They look really elegant (especially with an expansion bracelet IMHO), but once I put them on they just feel undersized to me. Maybe for a formal occasion as a dress watch, but nope to everyday beater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
