J!m's Collection

Recommended Posts

J!m

I'm bored so I thought I'd post up my current and some former pieces I own or owned. I will annotate each picture and update as things come and go from the collection.

 

Enjoy!

 

OldSchoolDigital.jpg

Very early LED watch- not sure on brand, and it is a battery HOG. Two batteries last about six months... Interesting however.

 

GMT1.jpg

Omega "Great White" GMT. I owned this for several years but it has moved on now. Wouldn't mind another...

 

Casio.jpg

Casio Pathfinder Titanium. This is gone now too. They were a sponsor of one of our trips into Canada but I don't remember which one.

 

GoldWalthams.jpg

His n Her's set of Gold Walthams. I need to dig these out and overhaul them, but they are complete and quite nice.

 

Hamilton.jpg

My Grandfather's 1925 Hamilton. It was overhauled years ago and still works fantastically.

 

Nolex.jpg

A "Nolex" I bought years ago and have modded all sorts of ways since. Eta 2824 in a nice case that was waterproof.

 

Kitbash001.jpg

another version of the Nolex above...

 

043.jpg

Last version of the Nolex; now sold.

 

StarWars.jpg

1977 Swiss manual wind- with C3-PO and R2-D2 on the dial. Works fine but it very small (for a child) but very cool.

 

Swatch.jpg

My Swatch from ~1984. I beleive it is one of the first series. I have the original box around for it somwhere too...

 

Tag.jpg

My Tag Heuer I bought in Salzburg, Austria in 1987. It has a Heuer box and the original crown and bracelet were signed Heuer as well. Still wearing it from time to time!

 

PObackfromspa.jpg

My Planet Ocean, just after coming back from a full overhaul at Omega. Beautiful.

 

Vostok.jpg

Vostok Europe auto diver I had for a while. It is a solid, reliable watch but I got bored of it and moved it on a while ago.

 

5517-newinsert001.jpg

my 5517 project. I sem to work on it mre than wear it, but it is a great piece. Low-beat Eta 2879 inside... (Updated pic)

 

SM300build001.jpg

My Seamaster 300 project. All gen, down to the case clamps and screws. Just need a case...

 

timex001.jpg

My Timex. 1/10 second quartz chronograph with Indiglow. Came on leather but I changed it to the Timex NATO.

 

5512start.jpg

My 5512. I hope to have an updated picture soon on this, in a better state than now... Hour wheel, crown and tube are inbound...

 

3-16006.jpg

Always wanted one of these; now that I have it I see it is quite large! This one has a TC 2824 installed and got a good cleaning. Needs a crown and I will probably get a gen one for it.

Thanks guys.

 

I do miss the GMT now and again... That was a cool watch when everyone was wearing the blue "bond" watch. This was an early one and was on the Bond bracelet which was not very common. I actually wore that one most on the rubber deployant strap- very comfortable and unique that way.

There's something real cool about the numerals on that Hamilton. Great shape too, so many old timepieces are banged up.

Thanks! Might have to move some things on to cover the cost of the new projects... I also updated the 5517 pic as I did some work on that again.
