A 'spree' continues. I found this on the 'bay:



I love the way Movado writes out the whole name 'Switzerland', on some of their vintage ones.

 

Nothing..... I looked at a Rolex GMT BLNR and backed away. It didn't sing to me........

 

Speedy Professional manual with some patina

 

Picked this up from the Post Office today, Cal 89.






Almost forgot the nice little bonus.

 

That's a very classic beauty!

 

Needs a new crystal as this one obscures the outer track. Still pretty pleased

 

Purchased this today from MWR.
Comes on one of Myrons straps. Get one if you haven't already he does great work.

 

Nice one! Recently picked up one of these too - mine is circa 1970. [emoji106]

 

@Darlinboy. Thanks. Really excited about this one. My omega needs a friend. Here's a pic

 

A couple bottles of Burgundy for possible addition to the cellar......

 

All I can say is... Nice pair! My "brothers" to yours. [emoji6]

 

@Darlinboy. They are great pieces. Yours looks to be in top shape. [emoji106]

 

Let me know when you're going to crack open the Nuits Dennis. I'll pop round to help you with it - I'll bring the steaks.

 

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. The '97 Potel Clos de la Roche is coming first though. After the experience with the '93 Ponsot Clos de la Roche, I wanted to try another Grand Cru from the same vineyard. Got my fingers crossed as there are no Burgundies at all at my house currently, and it would be nice to have at least one Grand Cru and one Premier Cru on the rack.

 

I do admire you will power. I was saving a couple of bottles of '85 Lafitte (that I bought as soon as they were bottled) for the millennium, but in 1998, I had a really bad day and necked them both with a pepperoni pizza. They were sublime and such was the remorse that I had to celebrate that momentous occasion on a beach in Barbados

 

I finaly managed to get a Connie to complement my Omega collection, it is a Gold Cap model from 1966 with a 561 movement. I went against recommended practice of " get high definition pictures and ask to see the movement". The pictures were not at all good, and the seller said that he had no means of opening the back. I'm sure this put off a few folk, but luckily my offer was accepted and it turned out well. I did know that the crown was incorrect when I bought it. After a couple of small adjustments it is holding 0 to +2 seconds on the timegrapher.

Here are some pictures I have just taken.

 

Nice pickup!!! Japanese seller, yes?

I wanted your watch badly but I promised my honey that I'd stop buying 'em by the handful. It seems to rain when it pours, right? lol

I followed your auction - you did really well!! (IMHO).

The Multichron Pilot is far up the food chain of collectible Gallet. It's a really good looking watch.

Congrats!

 

168.004 or 168.010? Nice - and pink gold capped to boot!

Thanks for that. It's a 168.004, here's another photo. What would be the correct crown for the watch?
