Lovely lugs

 

Thanks! I'm excited to get it. I had one on in the Bahamas and loved it but I'd already spent as much as I could bring home on things for my family.

 

Last of the big spenders.....a new leather strap and rose gold buckle

 

Found this in the mailbox today, Lemaina caliber 3000 in a Super Compressor case:




I have no idea about the rarity of this, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of the compressors around. @Northernman, do you know? It needs a clean and a service. The dial isn't perfect.

 

Nice!
These are relatively uncommon. Single crown EPSA super compressor case.
Does it have the crosshatch crown?
I have a couple of these and they are great quality and highly underrated.
The last one now resides with a prominent kilt equipped member and gentleman .

 

Yes, the crown is the original crosshatched one with the Lemania crown.

 

Here is a link to the service of the first one. These movements are really well finished and constructed.

And residing exceedingly happily thank you

 

Breitling 769 .... Hoping That the speedies Will accept an intruder in the box

 

This:


or more specifically, this:

 

Cheapish Longines 302 - Not sure if it's a redial

 

Lemania Super Compressor cal 3000 with a very interesting dial. Zoom in and check the structure....
I have hopes this one might clean up very nicely indeed.



Sellers pics.

 

I think you have far too many Lemania watches and you should sell some of them to me!

 

Please define too many!

 

And please keep the Mrs. out of that discussion.......

 

How many do you have? = Too many!

 

Still loads of nice ones I don't have = Not enough !

 

Well played sir!

 

It's been an impoverishing watch season so far, and I think I just funded two years of Canadian higher education, but... how do you say no to a cal 135 like this? Thanks Chris!
