Watch Ya Wearing

[slcsteve]

I just received an Enicar Ocean Pearl from the bay. I paid virtually nothing (40 bucks with a hefty chunk of that being shipping from asia) for it so I was surprised to see it was in pretty good condition. Keeps good time so far.

Taking it to my local watch repair shop to have them check it out and see what sort of work it may need.

I could use recommendations on decent leather straps that aren't more than a C-note. PMs or posts would be appreciated.

Nice Omega GMT Frank! I own the original Bond (2531.80) as well.

I think I am going to keep my GMT in my rotation for a while ...

You can find very cheap tool-sets on e-Bay. I have one of the smaller ones. They are actually not bad for the money - and if your needs are to change a band or bracelet from time to time they ar fine for that.

I'll post as soon as the batteries are charged and I'm sober. Who knows what you'd get if I posted now.

Military issue Bulova hack watch. Dated 1943, the year I was born. I have it on an old hand tooled leather strap.

That's very cool Steve!

Due to my current financial status, I've had to tighten my belt, er, watch strap. So I'm down to only my Seiko Orange Knight, which is a great watch for the money, but I really miss my Omega.

If you have to be down to one Seiko is a good one to be stuck with. Is it this one?

Nice watch!

I haven't worn this for at least two years. I bought it from a friend that's an avid Seiko collector and have it mounted on a hand tooled western style strap with sterling buckle. tip and keeper.

How many Enicar's do you have. I actually think that one may be the one if saw first.
