Post your watches

silver one on the left is a silver pulsar spoon which is my everyday watch, purple one on the right is an omax. date and model unknown, but im guesing the 70's!! i love it =)

Pretty sure thats some kind of re-badged Seiko on the right. It's got the same Seiko 5 emblem that you find on their automatics and the day/date windows & font looks the same.

To change the day (not date) do you press the crown in?

Yeah, I would tend to agree....

yeh, they were really nice watches. they did a smart analogue one that you just never seem to see-i keep looking though! i have a gold one identical to the silver but it is a bit shabby-it has served me well though!
@jaycey it may be. i am quite sure its japanese , the day is not altered by a press like on the seikos, just one way for day and the other for date.

EDIT: i am wrong, apparently, its swiss.

Interesting, if you ever have the back off get a picture of the movement for me please
It's a nice looking watch and that strap complements it nicely. Good stuff!

Sold some climbing gear today, free cash, saw this and picked it straight up, have one other Roamer but always wanted an automatic, really like the look of it, movement is supposed to be nice too, anyone have an experience of these?

My local charged £3. It was worth it.

Be careful when you pop the pins out. They are held in by tiny collars.

Lose a collar and you are stuffed.

I was wondering about these pins as I have the same watch but with an Orange Face and they were just pins. The tools you can get are great though, they make the job so much easier.

That is indeed a nice version of the Mini Monster.
