My new toy I think... I've been after a very nice to minty A-11 for sometime (and will continue to look) but along the way I have found this which I think will become a regular wearer. 1939 Dunhill in very very nice condition and I'm told rare in this waterproof type..

Thanks Steve. It should be with me on Monday and I can't wait!

I certainly hope so B-man2! That would be very handy. Someone must have an A-11 to the same standard as the Dunhill I've found they might be willing to part with!

This is my 1958 Burls Rideu which I inherited a few years back. It’s my every day wearer and keeps great time.

Here are some of mine.
The Alsta Jaws watch is gone. Someone made me an offer I could not refuse, which was coincidentally about what I paid for the Rolex Sea-Dweller. Pretty good for a $50 ebay find.
The blue casio is cheap and eats batteries, so I don't feed it any more.
The Omega DeVille is from my birth year, and is my dress-up watch.
The Seiko SKX007 is insanely awesome for $150.
I sold off the Planet Ocean and wish I hadn't.
The Sea-Dweller is the lifetime watch that I will hand down to my son. I usually wear it on a nylon military strap now, on the rare occasion that I wear a watch.
Not pictured:
My main watch for 20 years was a Seiko 7a28 Chronograph, similar to the RAF issue watch from the 80's. I flew with this about 95% of the time in the military. The other 5% were Casio G-shocks.
I found a Titanium Citizen Skyhawk in a thrift shop for $10. I guess the owner did not know to charge it in the sun.
3 or 4 other digitals.

I would be happy to see you Seiko 7A28-7120 @Ed Rooney

It's a 7a28-7049, from the Fort Meade PX in 1987. The metal bracelet was worn out by showering with the watch* for many years, so here is is on a Bond strap. I'd like to pick up a notched rally strap for this watch.
* Showering with the watch introduces soap into the pins that hold the links together. The soap mixes with other gunk (like skin cells and dirt) and ends up creating an abrasive mix which wears down the pins until the bracelet fails.

Love the face on your Rolex Mike. A ton of class man. And forty nine years old you say. Now that is extraordinarily coincidental; my old Rolex jalopy is forty nine as well.
