Show us your watches

[Forest fella]

Had afew mates over last night and I asked 1 of them to get something out of my room for me.
And he spotted my watch collection and well he came down with what I asked him to get then said how many ''expletive'' wrists do you have.
Then everyone 1 asked what?.
So I gave in and took some picture's for then to see.
And yes they mocked me as well.





Somebody tell / show that I'm not the only 1?

Borgel Trench Watch
Francois Borgel Trench Watch (company actually run by his daughter Louisa after 1912).

Imported by Robert Pringle and Sons (using Arthur George Rendell as the named importer) in 1915/16. Assayed in the London assay office, 925 Silver

With a General Watch Co Helvetia 15 jewel Swiss Movement which includes a bimetallic temperature compensation balance

It is a Depose No 9846 design (registered design) which would have used a strap with a pad behind the watch and requiring a special buckle that was not sewn on.

I have a second hand for it that I must fit! and I'm in the process of making a repro strap. It gets my Geiger counter excited

Lovely Doxa. I quite fancied a Zinex/Zixen back in the day before they went out of business; they were tributes to Doxa in my eyes.

My current field time piece and i like it a lot i must say, Luminox is the maker and Navy Seal is the model.

I do like a nice field watch.

While there are a few in there I admire (and not necessarily the expensive ones), you must be changing batteries constantly! Probably the one thing that puts me off gathering a proper collection.

I wonder how radioactive that glow in the dark paint is?

Well, I wasn't joking when I said it excites my Geiger counter, but I think you'd have to have it fairly close for a long period of time to have even the slightest risk of any harm. I can't remember what the reading was (I need to repeat the test) but it was well below a daily dosage from the Cairngorms

All good then. Just don't make a habit of sleeping with it underneath your pillow every night.
