Just picked this one up a few hours ago. It's an early-to-mid-60s ref. 1007 with original 19mm Jubilee bracelet. The price was very reasonable so I couldn't help myself--so out of character for me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Santa left this wonderful Hamilton Railroad 992 from 1932 under the tree. I think it will look great in the watch pocket a pair of 1933 501s and my Monarch 422.

I like the smaller watches. I have a Omega Speedmaster, a Rolex Air King, and on the rare occasion I'll wear one of my original A-11s.

Beautiful piece! My watchmaker had one of these apart last time I visited him. The movement is really impressive to behold. Just make sure the crystal is against your body when you carry it in your 501s. The results of doing otherwise can be unpleasant. :eek:

Nice watches fellas. Unfortunately, I cannot wear a watch for 80% of my day at work. Real pity as I do enjoy vintage watches. By the time weekend rolls around, I forget to put the ones on that I do own. :roll:

It seems that alot of folks that appreciate military leather/cloth flight jackets also enjoy good timepieces..Thanks for some of the great photos of your watches,sorry that I can not post pics of some of my stuff,I still shoot with an old Canon P rangefinder....Brian.

Anyone seen or own one of these? Bell and Ross. Approximately $5k :shock: so the answer''s probably not but i'm interested in getting a really good repro :eek: . Anyone know where to go? The range for the real thing is incredible and at 46mm across it's the closest thing to wearing an aircraft instrument strapped to your wrist.

While the Bell & Ross are truly impressive in size and striking in design, I can't help but wonder why you would want to wear one on your wrist unless you intend to use it as a weapon. After a while, very large watches are Very uncomfortable. But they still look great...

I bought one yesterday, if you're looking Andrew. BR03-92, stainless with a black dial, essentially new, with all the packaging, and accessories.
