Anyone into older wrist watches (not expensive)?

Please PM me. I'd like some info.

If the forum doesn't mind, I'll post pictures to make this easier.

Cheers,

Bob

    Well, if the watch took a licking and kept on ticking, it must be a Timex!

    Yeah, I'm kinda digging it. I'm thinking of buying one although I don't generally like coin jewelry. My dad gave me a Stauer watch, it's modern though. It's titanium and receives a signal from the atomic clock. Very light and as accurate as, well, the atomic clock. image

    I wear an early 70s 14k Accutron. It was my father's 25 year watch from Grumman and is engraved with my name.

    I like this one--I only collect the automatics. At this time my collection is only one watch, but I do search them out at auctions and flea markets. They are very difficult to find. My dad received it for working 35 years at Mack trucks in 1976. They never need winding and work well.
