magagne Posted September 27, 2010 Report Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) A new acquisition: In memory of my Fortis-B42 that I just sold last week to get some funds for something else than watches. Edited September 27, 2010 by magagne
Ztech Posted September 27, 2010 Report Posted September 27, 2010 Congrats on a nice pickup. That Seiko sort of reminds me of that Space watch that Seiko made a little while back.

Lobster Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 My genuine Omega Broadarrow 1944 RAF pilots watch. Real gov issued
chrgod Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Poljot Sthurmanskie. The USSR Pilot Chronograph. Sthurmanskie means "navigator" in Russian. The movement is a hand-wound Poljot P3133, which is a version of the Valjoux 7734. The soviets bought the remains of the assembly line in 1978 and modified the movement. Great power reserve. A cool chronograph with a second timezone bezel ( I keep mine on Moscow time. ) Don't drink and fly.. The movement. 23 jewels. The Valjoux 7734 had only 17. The cogwheel for rotation of the inner bezel. Soviet Air force badge. There was also a Navy version of this, called "Okeah" (Ocean)
FxrAndy Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Well not just military taste this one has seen service with me in many places Indian army issue, and one of the first mechanicals in my collection Gone but not forgotten Timing military meteorlogical launches A commander from Schuhren and an Observer you could also count my panerais and IWC 3717 and this issued one (modded relumed hands) I have proberbly had a few more, but the best is to come but thats a secret!
alligoat Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 This is one of my early purchases from Howard Marx at westcoasttime- the O&W Mirage Mark III I think of this watch as an updated version of the Breguet Type XX- the one from the late 60's early 70's with the V725 flyback movement Now if I could just figure out how to build a rep of the old Breguet Type XX!
magagne Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Posted September 30, 2010 This is one of my early purchases from Howard Marx at westcoasttime- the O&W Mirage Mark III Nice, that remind me an old Kobold/Sinn watch. Deal with Howard a few times for straps. A true gentleman.
Ronin Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 @chrgod, those Russians look pretty sweet!
lhooq Posted September 30, 2010 Report Posted September 30, 2010 The old Komandirskie I wore through most of high school: My two Omega 'masters: And another Russian, but disguised as a German. My Poljot "Hanhart": I would love to own an OKEAH, but the prices of those have gotten ridiculous in in the past couple of years.
