Been very busy at work lately, and it is not about to end very soon (which is kind of good!) 馃榾
Still the workload does not keep me entirely out of mischief..

Made a package deal on a couple of Lemania chronographs.
One is a CH27 C12. This is the forerunner of the cal 321 as this version (CH vs CHT) has no shock protection device.
According to my notes on serial numbers, it should date to about 1945 +/-.
Obviously in need of TLC and a new crystal but I suspect it will be worth it.


Next up is another Lemania chronograph. Slightly older than the one above. Best guess is 1940(?).
Some finger marks on the movement (ohhhh my eyes hurts - I hope a good cleaning might help a bit) and I am unsure about the hands, however the rest I do like a lot! Caliber 15TL aka Omega 33.3.


And to round it up, a cal 3000 HW Lemania just for the fun of it:

I assume a good clean or replacement of the crystal will be good. The patina on the dial is there to enjoy!
The cal 3000 is looking very clean!

THIS JUST IN: MF-FRANKEN-MONSTER-LEMANIA-CHRONO brewing!! Purists beware!
My first 5100 will be a real scary monster!

Dibs on the Caliber 15TL! 馃グ

If that minute hand is 15mm or so, send 'em over. 馃槈
Need to figure out if they are legit or not..... They do look a bit on the short side.

Are presents allowed in this thread? In so, then I just got a watch winder. Does anybody know the best settings for winding a cal. 552. It is currently set at 1150 TPA, which I guess is okay 馃榾


Nice gift... no doubt

But the movement solid in that one, + no date, so, maybe use for a watch with date?

That is both cool and scary at the same time. I have a 3 y.o at home, so it's not for me, but I am sending a link to my father.

There is a child safety on it, so it shouldn't be that dangerous. I guess. I would probably hurt myself, had we had one in my childhood home, but I'm a special case... The brass version isn't on the website, but you can order it through their dealer network. It cost the same as a decent Speedmaster 馃檨

Actually paid for this about a month ago but this is the first opportunity I have to wear it after a long vacation; this absolutely stunning 751 sourced by our very own @Kringkily. I'm a very happy chap!

...That bezel is a total Rolex rip-off.
