A 1979 Omega Automatic. It was given to my father for 25 years of service. I try to wear it at least once a month.
Two watches I inherited from my father which were originally from his father.
First one is an gold-plated automatic Bifora from the early 1960s. Last revision was in the 1990s and at that time it only gained 1 second per day. The automatic winding is loud as hell. Bifora was a middle class German watch maker before the quarz crisis. It needs a revision in the near future.
[IMG]Second watch is a hand wind Bergana with massive gold (585/18 karat) case and face. It has an old strap. So it could well be that it is real lizzard skin.
[IMG]I wear the Bifora from time to time and the Bergana as dress watch on special occasions.

Cool topic
I’ve posted this before but this was my grandpas
I wear it most Saturdays. Handwound, great movement, with aprox 30 hour.
I should have it cleaned or a new band but i like the grime and scratches.My pap’s Bulova. I don’t wear it as often as I should. The bracelet is a couple links too small and the Piper Aircraft logo is integral. I’m going to have to take it to a jeweler and see if anything can be done.

#201968 Lip mechanical, until it finally seized up. One of my favorites. I was bummed that my watch guys couldn’t fix it. Will post a photo later if I can remember how to do that here.
I bought this from Cabelas in 1985. It’s still keeps excellent time.

My friend found this in a dumpster on the job and gave it to me. I had to get a band and battery. It’s been going strong for a few years.
