What's a tube watch? I know, I am a total neophyte.

 

The lume is in tubes on the markers and hands instead of painted on.

Man, there were jokes to be made and I passed. Could have taken the surfing angle, could have tried to pull something like the lume is made with toothpaste, etc.

 

Got a great deal on a new daily beater, even came with two straps. In-house Swiss made automatic...

 

A bit early for FIFA season!

 

Sellers pics, a little Savillon/Enicar from the late 1960s/early 1970s. Cheap but I think cool.

 

Up to now my Longines collection have been rather thin. I am a sucker for structured and elaborate dials, and when this one came up for auction I just could not resist.
If this one does not clean up well I am going to be very surprised (and extremely disappointed).
Conquest cal. 291. Ref/ 9024 1 - Sellers pictures.

 

A new set of leather, alligator by HR with curved ends to fit the FOIS...just need the proper Ω buckle

 

they do seem to hold up well don't they!!!

I bought mine because it had a WW2 BuShips plastic strap on it which I needed for my Elgin canteen.... the Bulova was a bonus.

 

It was just inevitable....

 

stunning...

 

Love it!! Congrats!

 

S

Those are beautiful! So much want!

 

Very nice catch - even has the original crown! Was this on the Bay or a local board? Can't you just stick to your Lemanias and not join the hunt for vintage Longines?

By coincidence, mine's on my wrist today!

 

Major Dibs!!

 

Local board purchase.
It is not that often I get stuff from the bay anymore. Too many other predators lurking there.
I hope my new Longines will turn out just as nice as yours!
It will be a couple of weeks before I can post a WRUW pic as it is being sent directly to my watchmaker for a service.

I will keep my focus still on Lemania, but I always keep an eye open for other favorites: Zenith, Omega, Longines, JLC, UG to name a few.

A new Hirsch Robby strap for my Planet Ocean.
