What watch do you wear?

[AddictedToGear]

Timex Expedition. I save my money for more knives.

I have used this watch for a few years as an outdoor watch and it works excellent. I usually try to save for more knives but I have been on a watch kick as I am just getting into them.

Most legible watch I own. Ball Official Standard Trainmaster. ~50 years old now

A. Schild 1604B

Current work watch is an older Timex expedition three-timezone that is sitting on a black and grey G-10 strap.
I've become a huge fan of the G-10 strap design since getting a couple. I have one watch that needs one and another timex that needs new pins (e-tide) but looks great on its black and red strap. (oddly for the size of the face, the e-tide only takes a 16mm strap, and the expedition looks much more proportional on its 20mm strap...

I wear ones I have made myself with meteorite dials (iron meteorites mostly and also those from Mars and the Moon) with Swiss mechanical movements. I won't provide a link you will have to contact me if you want to see more....I don't want to spam the site and incur the wrath of the mods.

I need your guys help. I am looking for a watch that I had in the mid 80s. When I was 8 or 10 the years of 86 to 88 I was in love with a watch. The small town that I lived in had a used clothing/antique store. My mother went there at least once a week, I of coarse went with her. In the glass case at this store they had THIS watch. Big face, all the functions you guys know how it is. Any ways one day the owner of the shop noticed that ever time I was in there that I was glued to that glass case drooling over that watch. So when my mom went up to pay he said to her i noticed your son really likes that watch. Of coarse the watch was like $50. Not I my parents price range. So the owner of the shop told my mom that he would make a deal with her and me. He had some cleaning work and a few other things to do around the shop, 4 or 5 saturdays like 9-noon. If I worked for him he would set the watch aside for me and I could have it after that. Well I worked for him and he gave me the watch. The watch was great. Eventually the battery went dead. Well this watch had a special back on it. We had a hard time finding someone to put a battery in it. The back of the watch had little groves in it and had to be put in a special machine to change the battery. So when we found someone to replace the battery in the big city, we had to leave it to replace the battery. When we came back to pick it up th eowner of the shop came out to give me the watch and wanted to know where I got the watch. He told my parents that it was a very expensive divers watch and he thought that I had stole it from someone. My parents told him the story of how I came about the watch. Anyways over time being a kid I eventually missplaced the watch and would now like to look into getting a watch like it. So long story short if anyone has any ideas to help me out with this it would be very greatful. I think about this watch alot. Thanks

I need your guys help.

Only you can help you. The Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum has vintage Seiko catalogs, 1969–1985. Seiko's first quartz diver was released in 1978.

No luck there, go to the forums at watchuseek.com and run a search on "show your vintage diver." That will get a lot of photo heavy threads.

The picture doesn't do the watch justice as the insides and markers are all bronze.

Orient ER2A003B

Orient's B-uhr homage.

Dammit, I forgot the lume shot. Have to add that later.

42mm case (45mm w/crown), 12mm high, 22mm lugs. Screw down crown, 100M WR, and Orient's automatic movement doesn't hand wind or hack. The leather strap is stiff but wearable.

Obligatory lume shot.
