Show Us Your Open 6s

Is it bad that I wish the days away wishing for a date with a 6 in it so that I can see that cool silver date wheel and that nice little open 6?

Show us your open 6s today

Nice "open 6's" Jason, David, and Nikos. I have some as well.















Ok so I cheated a little...

Learned something today. My three recent acquisitions all have a closed 6, but my vintage DJ has an open 6.

Great pictures guys


I have to say.........I think I have a real problem. Lately, the only thing that tickles my fancy is a watch with a matte dial, silver date wheel, and it MUST have a plastic crystal. It has been a couple weeks since I have worn a watch with a sapphire crystal.

What is happening to me???

I am going to have to pull the 116619 out and force myself to wear it
