Not my usual thing, but it is NOS and the price was right.

This is a 25-year-old quartz (!) reissue of a 52mm-long pink Gruen Curvex Majesty. The movement is apparently a very high quality quartz movement with 15 jewels.

That dog LOVES the camera!

I couldn't agree more. That dog needs an agent. Hollywood is calling.

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.

So you did buy that blackface Lemania chrono 馃榿 I told C that I thought you should be interested in it....

Bought that and the CH27 from the same seller as a package. 馃榾
What is your opinion on the hands? I think they look too short.
