Besides collecting watches I also collect art, paintings and sculptures. I bought this painting in an estate sale and I liked it because it shows the area where Post street and Market Street meet in San Francisco. Post street is like 5th street in NYC,…
Continue readingWatches for going off to War.
On a different forum, outside of WUS, someone asked me about a current conflict that I’m familiar with. But they admitted to being ignorant about. Not going to get into politics. But after I answered his question, it occurred to me that very few of my watches would be suitable for going off to war. Honestly only my Citizen Eco-Drive BM7080-03E I bought nearly 25 years ago would be suitable.

Watch Co. Est. Dates Master List: Needs your contribution
Hey WUS,
for the last few months I’ve been compiling a list of watch company dates established.
This list is mostly companies that are currently up and running.
Some have closed in the past and been reestablished.
You’ll see some companies like Heu…

A friend of mine is not a watch person, but he was admiring my Seiko SSK 017.

So much so he has already added it to his amazon cart about a week ago and last night he was about to click “Checkout.”
Then he said, “The one thing I don’t like about my Invicta” is that it doesn’t have numbers.
I told him to look at my Seiko, yeah, no numbers.
I told him I’d look around for a GMT with a similar vibe with numbers. My…

Well we seem to have a WRUW thread for most things, so how about a WRUW today that is a good old manual wind watch??
IMO nothing beats winding a watch to make you feel part of the whole Horological experience!
So I'll start.

When just a close up wrist shot might be a tad boring . .
Show your watch & shirt/sweater/jacket/shoes combo, or other clothing combo – let's see your watch fashion sense! (Really, this is just another gratuitous watch photo thread.)

Continue readingWhen or where WOULDNT you wear a watch?
So, aside from wearing your Rolex on the wrong side of the tracks, or your Omega while putting up drywall, are there times or places where you don’t wear your watch?
Continue readingI was thinking about this today, and despite the fact that I assumed I generally wear mine everywhere, I realized that I actually leave it off more than I would have thought.
This makes sense at home. For instance, I don’t usually wear one when working on the car I’m restoring, because I don’t want to scratch the paint. I…
Let’s see your NO DATE wrist shots!
Maybe I'm alone in this category since I have seen so many posts about the importance of a date function but I don't care for a date window on my watches. My personal reasons being:
1) I find no date watches more symmetrical
2) I have very b…
## Show us your Chronographs ##
I've tried using various search options to see if there's another similar thread, but found nothing.
Maybe I haven't looked hard enough?
Everybody owns a chronograph or two, so why not display it in this thread?
If I've doubled u…
