The case is a bit rough around the edges, but I love having this old thing from my hometown.
It is basically a re branded Lemania 105

Looks great how old is that?

To be honest I'm not completely sure but my best guess is early 1950's

Lovely always nice to see true vintage.
Breitling from the 70's
How about something a bit more antique?
Thats great yep.

I once had an opportunity to buy a top time, i know that isn;t a top time, but it sure is a lovely example of a watch very nice.

Thanks. I've got a silver dialled one too. I think they call them Long Play or something?
And this little Top Time from the late 60s.
Makes me wish i could of bought that top time my friend had for sale.
And this little Top Time from the late 60s.
Very nice is that Auto or Quartz?
Thanks. I thought I'd slip a Quartz in here, even if it maybe isn't quite as vintage as some of the other beauties already posted.
I've got this 1992 Fortis but don't have a pic to hand so have "borrowed" one of it prior to my acquisition.
All manual wind chronographs form the mid to late 60s:
and if they were too maintream... how about this Prisma GT, Val 7765 powered chronograph with 'newman-esque' subdials.
Think there's a couple here to be getting on with!
This should be another nice thread. Here's my vintage 7733 Ingersoll.

Very nice. I bought one of these Trans-oceans NOS from the US in 2006. Ran it as my only watch for the next 6 years before I got the urge to flip it for a cal. 910 Flightmaster that lasted about 2 months before it too got flipped.

Seeing this one makes me realise what a nugget I was!

Some really nice watches there. Love the Proof dial 6139 and the Panda!
Stunning. I'm determined one of these will be my next purchase.

The Seiko's technically not a chronograph Neil, it doesn't record elapsed time. More a stopwatch.Got most of the boring vintage 6138/9 Seiko Chrono's but this 5717-8990 is the oldest - and Seiko's first chronograph..

Had 3 of 'em in the past, likewise 3 62mas's. Used to bang them out circa £300 iirc!!!
Love the Leonidas, a pal has the same, but reverse panda dial. £2 at a tiny local car boot😆
Zenith A386 - my fave watch

I am currently in the market for a chronograph and this thread is flagging-up some fantastic watches. Thanks to all for posting.
Yep there are some great pieces in this post.
That Leonidas is stunning
Hard to pick out a favourite from the amazing watches on this thread but these Zeniths certainly are amongst mine.Zenith A386 - my fave watch

Hi.
I think your referring to Andy's 6138 8020 Panda. Lovely watch, I definitely agree.
Few more stragglers here.......
......lets not dwell on the ones that left the building over the years!
Speedmasters have never really done it for me, Flightmasters are another matter however. That's a nice shot of a lovely looking example.My contribution:
