A vintage.


Ah, a [probably 1970s] oyster Perpetual date with Guilloché bezel (aka Engine turned). Classic little thing. Thanks for the post!

Had anyone noticed a trend in watch prices according to feature?
Namely, I see that watches that show day, date, & months, in a visually complete (all at once) manner, very scarce and pricey.
Viewing all the days, all the numbers (date), and all the months at once, to realize all the time that passes, is always at a premium.

It is as if you are NOT, to be made aware, of just how much time is spent, and to value "time" itself. You are not supposed to view time passing by, on a grand scale.

Here are some example pics of a watches that shows "all of time", at a glance:

What do you think? 🧐
Why don't watches show "all..of time"?

Did you know that wearing a nice watch, gives the impression of being both punctual & responsible? 👍🙂

Just saw myself mentioned when I updated my review units (Tronsmart Battle Gaming True Wireless Earbuds and the Tronsmart Splash 1 Waterproof Portable Wireless Speaker). Hope all is well!

I’ve still got all of my G Shocks, but knew keeping them would be an issue once I purchased an Apple Watch. I still had a use for the Atomic versions since I needed to-the-second timekeeping while I taught P.E./coached wrestling, but sadly don’t really need the others. I still can’t get to selling any of them! 😬

20 years ago, we lost 343 heroes/firefighters, for running into an inferno.

Got this watch as a remembrance

That Orient = gorgeous! What is it exactly?
It's Orient's Producer Auto model with open face at the 7:30 to 9:00 positions on the dial.

Often referred to as an Open Heart dial..The mainspring & balance wheel under the right side,I believe on the left is the escapement..
