Still My Favorite Of The Ones You've Shown, Mike!:D You Have A Link On Where To Buy? Did You Get Your Watch After The Fedex Issue?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Ya, one of my neighbors had it and brought it over that night :sh

You can google Tempest Viking but I think they are long sold out, I am always on Watchuseek buying and trading, great place for watches, also the app WatchRecon is awesome as it searches for you :tu

While not a wristwatch, it is my Great Grandfather's Illinois 21 Jewel Bunn Special Lever set railroad pocket watch. I just received it from my mother and it was sans crystal and barely kept time. I had it professionally refurbished and new crystal put on. I'm glad it is still in the family.

took me a while to get the photo down to a reasonable size.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That's cool looks like the Seiko (as far as my memory goes) that my dad used in UDT, at least it's really close. :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Ya Adam, your dad most likely had a 6309 or a 6105 (apocalypse now) that Martin Sheen wore.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Sweet looking pocket watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Any pictures of the movement?

Big thing on old watches is the dial which looks good on your family heirloom. As long as the dial is good, the rest can be fixed or serviced.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

There is a small crack in between the 3 and the 4 on the dial. I had it serviced and new crystal installed, and the thing is running like a tank now. It is my everyday carry watch. I have tried wrist watches many times, have a number of them scattered throughout the house gathering dust, but just don't like them on my wrist. This watch is perfect for me.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That's a gorgeous movement. 21 jewels is serious. Must've been a premium watch in its day. Enjoy it.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thank you very much. My great grandfather was a railroad conductor, and it was his that was issued to him by the railroad. My understanding is he was not allowed to set the time on his watch, only the railroad could, and they fined him if he let his watch wind down.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Makes sense seeing how that is a precision piece.
