Felt like wearing something vintage today.

I've had 4 Amphibia watches for the last 15 or so years, and all of them were running within +/- 15 s/d. What is your experience?

To me, Certina is the king of the affordable Swiss brands. This is one of the last models to have the legendary ETA2824-2. Has been running at +3-4 s/d since day one, 5 years ago.

Just got it today. I don't know why, but I keep coming back to Amphibias. There is something so charming and unique to them...

The remains of electrostatically charged balloon after collecting Rn-222 progeny for an hour. The device is Rdiacode 103G.

IMO, the best watch ever made in the USSR. A timeless classic.

That's my Japanese box. One position is still empty. What would you suggest to fill it in with?

I love this watch, and somehow I feel that it didn't get the attention and appreciation it deserved. Yes, it is a departure from the classical Seiko divers design language, but beautiful nonetheless. Good spec for the price as well.

Love this one.

50 bucks, but looking easily 10x the price. Seiko movement and this crystal... Oh, and the lume is not bad. Just put it on a good strap and it's a goer...

Got this military chrono some time ago. What a pleasant surprise for $80. Seiko movement, gorgeous sapphire with heavy AR coating and a nice sunburst dial. I have watches 20+times the price, and this humble Baltany doesn't look cheaper. Just put it on a vintage leather NATO-wow!

Just fully serviced and restored to its full 1970 splendid.

A no result is a result on its own. Inspired by this post : https://www.reddit.com/r/Radionuclides/comments/1t1xgd1/unexpected_thorium_in_my_brazil_nut_spectrum_a/ I got very curious for I'd find in a sample of Brazilian nuts. In short, I found nothing or almost nothing. The sample is in black, the background in red. One may argue trace amounts of Th-232 as indicated by a hint of a Pb-212 peak, but not certain.

This is the SOC now.

Another iconic vintage piece that I'm happy to have in my collection in nearly mint condition.

Spring is here, let's go green...

Been with me for 16 years. Easily rivals divers that are several times the price.

Nothing fancy here, just my first Seiko I bought in 1992. Being a poor student back then, studying and working as a bartender at night, $70 was a considerable sum. This was my only watch for 6 or 7 years, worn 24/7/365. It's been long retired from service, but still works, just shake it and it goes. The last piece that would leave my collection. It's spent more time on my wrist that all my other Seikos combined.
