Dennis has been schooling me on Eterna so I decided to dip my toe in then 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...

Lovely Bumper!
I guess Dennis also told that you can distinguish the bumpers from rotor automatics from the dial text? Bumpers are marked Automatic, while rotor watches are marked EternaMatic.
Very nice to see more people in here take notice of these fantastic watches.
Cheers!

Brushed too, is that a PO bracelet or an earlier AT bracelet?

MMMD

A little light reading, just in time for the weekend. 😀

How was the read?

I tried to find this book (in English) online to no avail. I see it here: (http://www.zenith-watches.com/en_en/news/zenith-unveils-its-150th-anniversary-book), but no place there to order it.

Where did you find it?

I bought... A flight ticket home, to Singapore! I am now sitting with an oban in hand and my (limited) spread of watches before me, and looking forward to taking my first ever family shot when the sun's up and proper.

There is a strange feeling of familial warmth when holding in your hands watches which you haven't been able to see in person for several months.

What I bought today was necessitated by what I bought last month. "Oh, I'll never need another watch winder," I kept telling the wife. Ha!

A PO, fortunate to pick it up from an owner with an aversion to bracelets.

Blancpain is awesome because every single bit and piece is uniquely tooled or die cast. I'm pretty certain they make everything in-house. A true Manfacture.

Maybe Patek Phillipe is the only other soup to nuts outfit?
