Yes, ever so slightly. It's currently at a 'just off white' stage.Originally Posted by tekbow

This was replaced in 1976 by a £55 Bulova which I have just found in the back of drawer and plan to have restored:

Bought on here a few months old and just before the sales corner rules changed. I still like it so much I don't care that I don't have enough posts to buy anything else!
You can always PM the seller, even if you can't post in SC.
Tag Heuer 2000 series Chrono in 1991. This became the first in a succession of Tags that have all since been moved on. Sold this one also but had to buyback as chrono not working. Cannot bring myself round to spending £400 + on service , so it will remain as a reminder to the start of my expensive watch obsession.
Titanium IWC Aquatimer since 2000. In 2023 it gets handed on to my son!
That I still wear - my Speedmaster, which I bought in 2008.
Oldest, but has been stuck in a box for years - my old Traser H3.
A Yellow GOld Rolex Day-Date I bought in the 1990's.
I wear it when I want a bit of bling.
My Hamilton Intra-matic.
Given to me on my 21st, July 1988.
I bought this in a market in Cambridge in the mid-nineties. Bought it because I had quite a few Hermes ties - it might actually be from them as they've comissioned quite a few watches over the years. Or so I like to think.
Had this old Seiko since 1980 bought it when in the US Navy from the ships store when I lived on Guam.
My wind up Ingersoll, it has been serviced twice in its 53 years with me and still runs well.
Purchased in 1962
Rolex Datejust, oyster bracelet, salmon dial, roman numerals. Bought in 1998 with the first monies i received after i went self employed.
I "gave" it to my Dad about 10yrs ago and he has been wearing it ever since. The one watch i will never sell.
No fancy stuff from me I'm afraid. The longest member of my collection (that doesn't sound right) would have to be this:
I bought it in the early eighties and was really useful at work for storing phone numbers, passwords and the like. I'm sure if I fitted a new battery it would spring to life again. Unfortunately, as you can see, I broke the casing at the top when I once tried to fit it on to a nato! Silly me.
