Got a cool watch? Let's see it.

Jungle Jim · 01-22-2007, 02:45 PM

It's been a while since we've had a watch thread so...

Found this over the weekend.
I have boxes of stuff left from my Dads house that I have yet to go through. This was in one of his boxes.

Inscribed on the back is:
"Bureau of ships
US Navy
Comparing Watch
10612-1943"

Inside it has the usual markings along with a U.S. Govt stamp.

We'll see if we can get going again

Cartier Roadster my buddy got on one of our down river
snorkle trips a couple years back. Sold it on ebay for $1500.

Nothing that great in my collection...
I do have more sunglasses then Ill ever need in a lifetime.
The river drunks replace the supply every year.

Had one of these for many years, my dad won it in Korea playing poker with the USMC. Then the strap broke while I was riding on the freeway one day.

Where did your dad carry it before giving it to you?

Fucking classic.

"Five long years he wore this watch, up his ass. Then, he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you."

You should start a "Got An Ugly Green Carpet?" thread.

Yeah, you're right, that wouldn't be nearly as interesting a thread. Hell, I have ugly green towels.
