I've started looking for a Weems. I would like to find one from pre-war to the end on WW II. Any suggestions on what to look for (hard to find parts if missing)? A good place to start looking? And what one would expect to pay?

If you have one, I would love to see it.

 

Which Weems are you looking for? 47mm, 33mm or 28mm? Military issued (i've a handful of these, 33mm, Longines, Lecoultre, Zenith that trade 2-3k US)
Longines Weems and Lindbergh - QP Magazine

If you're in search of the grandaddy, hour angle variety, take a look at one that just came up on MWR. It's a stunner.

 

That is a beautiful Hour Angle.

If you look below you'll see mine cased in the U.S. by Whittnaur from 1938. The Weems I'm looking for is a Longines from this era. I believe it would around the 33mm size.

Larry, I would love to see your Weems...!!!!

 

We all march to a drummer of our own beat....!!!!! Depends where in SF that bar would be......

 

That is one nice looking watch......original strap?????

 

Probably came on pigskin, though Bonklips were certainly period.

 

No kidding! It's almost in TOO good condition.

 

I don't know any more connect to the vintage watch scene as James Dowling. He help me a few years back with a 5510 I had.
