I will kick this off. I am sure some members here are familiar with doing this. I am new to this forum and have not finished exploring yet. For those not familiar with this type of post, it gives you the chance to show off the vintage watch you are wearing for the day. I was looking at it seems like the vintage section seems kind of slow and I love vintage...heck I live in vintage threads lol

Today I have on my new arrival. A Ernest Borel Chronometre that appears to be free sprung. The movement is a serial numbered (Borel only numbered their chronometer movements) FHF 26 or 27. I have not measured the movement yet.

Some old ones

The Enicar is a solid quality Swiss movement AR 160 17 jewel hand winder.
The GMT was left to me by a dear friend who used it all his airline career. It is a 1959 model.

This OLMA was my father's. Those were the days of chrome plating. A pity, because the movement is outstanding running +4 sec/day.

The Favico is from 1955 and belonged to the father of a friend. The movement is hight quality Swiss and has a 25J PUW cal. AS 1361 18000 v.p.h. (A. Schilo INC) I think Favico was a fashion brand that had the watch made to order,
