Just in...This nice Jürgens pilots straap for my RCAF issued Rodania chrono.

 

I didn't buy it today, but I just paid for a service to correct 100+ years of wear and salt damage..... so it cost me enough to qualify as new!

1910 (ish) Seth Thomas marine lever, 9.5" diameter, last longterm home: the wheelhouse of a coastal freighter down New Brunswick way.

 

Not technically a purchase because it was a trade :

This nice little Medicus (CK 651 around 1938) will join two sisters in my collection.

In addition someone gave me this Vostok :


I also found 50 NOS steel bracelets (it will not take long to see some of my watches on steel...):


And finally, the postman dropped this at home :


All this the same day.

 

Almost like Christmas in March!

 

This is quite beautiful! I'd love to know more about this one... and.. Dibs!

 

Hi,
It's the first model with the 23.4SC Inside, the first central second hand caliber produced by Omega, created in 1936. I'll try to take better pictures and to create a thread in the Omega vintage section.

 

Pierce made a pretty good watch. Great case designs which seems to have left us with well preserved dials!



I had to take this as part of trade but I don't feel stuck at all. In fact, I really like it.

 

He has a world class 30's Omega and curvex watch collection. Big league!

 

Picked this up last night. The big six has image stabilization so hopefully, better watch photography from me!

 

Very much an

40s Pierce Chrono in sweet condition?.... Not stuck with it for sure!

 

Think I've finally found the right strap for this...

Matte black alligator from Kelaran USA.

 

Dam fine watches!!

 

An anniversary Eterna bought today.
Apart from an incorrect crown (which I have remedies against) it seems in very good condition. Lovely in-house cal 1438U. Did I mention the price? Better not....

 

You always choose nice strap / watch combinations.

 

Dennis has been schooling me on Eterna so I decided to dip my toe in the pool. I know you're a big time Eterna and Lemania guy and I love your taste.

This 1942 bumper auto is butter smooth and looks practically brand new. 70 bucks put a smile on my face...

 

Thanks.

 

I've recently pleaded poverty regarding DON bezels....this was a third of the price!
Done a bit of homework, seems genuine....please don't tell me its not!

 

Hamilton 1942 897a movement. 1948 NOS Wadsworth case.
Semper-Fi.

 

Posted earlier but now completed and on the wrist. Strapped it up with some brown genuine crocodile. Happy? Yes!!

 

And then this one finally came together. Breiltling TransOcean cal 12.
After a search that took years, out of nowhere, came a NOS bracelet with the correct springbars included. Unobtainium does exist!
