HeadphoneAddict Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Nice watch. I've played with that one a few times at the store and like the white, grey and blue dials. Hard to decide which color is better when you see them all in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Noice! I've actually been wearing my Suuto Core (black) again the last few weeks and remembering why I bought it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I got rid of my stupid activity tracking watch and I've been rotating through my Zenith El Primero, Breitling Emergency and Suunto Ambit 2 on a daily basis. Each one is different but I think I probably like tha Ambit the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah. I want the D9TX dive watch but I haven't gone diving in a decade or more. It's just very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadphoneAddict Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I picked up this black Luminox Colormark up last week with a partial trade of a couple of Eco-Drive perpetual calendar chronographs. It's the steel version with screw down crown and case-back. I'm down to one titanium Eco-Drive perpetual calendar now, but I wear my Luminox 1842 Field Chronograph more anyway. I love the tritium gas tubes for night viewing (thought about buying Marc's Ball swiss auto for that reason). So, now I have a black Colormark to go with my previous white one (below). They're very comfortable, but I did replace the rubber strap with another Luminox strap that fits me a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckledragger Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 This is a watch thread, right? As I have mentioned, I grew up in the antique business. My father left behind a lot of stuff. I found this today while cleaning: Dunno a thing about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Agree on the looks google via http://elginwatches.org/help/serial_number_info.html would make it c. 1908 if you can get the serial number off the movement you can use http://elginwatches.org/databases/elgin_sn_intro.html More http://elginwatches.org/databases/index.html It seems people obsess over these things http://elginwatches.org/index.html like headphones ...

nikongod Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I dont know if it will be any help, but the odd dial just below the 12'oclock position (from 40 to 0) appears to be a winding indicator. http://elginwatches.org/scans/sales_catalogs/1917_Oskamp-Nolting/m_pg_E3.html Edited: I found this too. http://www.bogoff.com/pocket/6727.html Edited October 14, 2014 by nikongod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
