Well I never.....just having a bit of a tidy up and came across a watch. Not sure when I bought it or why and have never worn it. I'm guessing it will only be pretty cheap but means I can put one post on this thread
Loving the boat. But what model is it? Riva Junior 5.7?Here's my Riva watch by Hamilton. Not the easiest for telling the time. Much like the boat - pretty, but not very practical.View attachment 64411View attachment 64434
It’s a 1963 Superflorida. I went to Lake Garda to buy it, then asked my now wife to marry me in the afternoon. I was afraid that if I did it the other way round, she’d say no you can’t have it.Loving the boat. But what model is it? Riva Junior 5.7?

All so elegant. Lovely.Some very nice watches on this thread, of all prices and tastes.
I have a a bit of a collection, mainly vintage. Here are a few:
Fortis Stratoliner from the early ‘90s with a Lemania 5100 movement.
Helvetia Pilots watch from 1939. Quite a chunky thing with rotating bezel.
Another 1930s Helvetia, this time a very early ‘stop’ chronograph - you can pause, or reset the running second hand without affecting the timekeeping. Next to the Timex boy’s watch I got for Christmas when I was 7 .
Nice one Geo a Seiko from the Middle East.
I had a couple bought in Jeddah when I was there so cheap you just had too in the early 80'S.
Must be in a box somewhere.
Nice Geo, got a bit of a Pogue feel to it.
My Daily Seamaster which does everything I need.
Have a Tag too boxed up somewhere.
