!!!!!!!!! /score !!!!!!!!!

are you going to polish the case? or leave it alone? or haven't decided yet?

sorry to come off as nerdy but I'm excited for you!

The case-back looks untouched (polished). Just some normal wear. good job!

 

Closed my eyes and pulled the trigger on this one yesterday. stepping way outside my comfort zone...

 

Nice early chronograph !!!
Ulysse Nardin is an interesting manufacturer....... If it is a kosher item, you score big IMO

 

Oooh, vintage Ulysses Nardin can be a different zone indeed.

 

Absolutely correct! You were mandated to buy it.

Agreed. It's their automatics that are the must haves. They are the grandaddy of ETA after all.

If we could only figure the brand out like we have with Omega.

 

This landed on my doorstep with a resounding thud from Switzerland, yesterday.
Fantastic read, some questionable translations notwithstanding.

Thanks LouS and Ulackfocus for the rec. way back when.

Now, if I can just find a place to put it--wayy too big for any of the bookshelves.

 

Another important, very large, book to get...I see the "1832 - 2007 version. Any advice where to look for the updated version?

 

Hi you're right, the box is so beautiful that is is a pain to take the Watch out. However I found a solution (we, French people, tend to be amongst the most imaginative and problem solving individuals in the world, did you know that?) :



Strange enough I have the impression that this version of the speed is not as comfortable and legible as the moonwatch.....

 

Thanks
No polish. Just buff crystal, remove gunk and get it serviced
and grease the bearings ha.

 

Send an email to: mugnier at watchprint dot com. Book and shipping to NYC came to CHF 111, for which he sent me a paypal invoice.

There is also jeff at formby-clocks.co dot uk... 108 GBP shipped to NYC.

It is a massive tome. You'll likely not be disappointed.

 

Wild Friday!.
Thanks to marturx I am soon the happy holder of this beauty. Have badly craved one for some time, and when Martin offered me this one I had no means of resistance! Poor little kitty!......

Thank you Martin!

 

Snap! Need to dig mine out and get back on my wrist.

What a movement shot! If that's not watch porn, I don't know what is...

Congratulations Northernman, don't think too many could have resisted this!

 

Something I bought mainly for the looks (FL1164, 36.000 bph).
Arrived yesterday:

 

Lovely Lemania, fantastic Favre-Leuba and then this

A couple of pocket money pieces, they are certainly different and I do enjoy a challenge so we shall see how they turn out after some spit and polish. Both running well.

Have some info on the "La Mignonne", nada on "Simmons" so any help appreciated.

La Mignonne Suisse, 925 silver and obviously a converted fob watch (37mm) Key wind and set.



The Simmons Watch Company (32 x 7mm)

 

I can tell you lots about the Simmons Mattress Company, but not the Simmons Watch Company.

 

Way to personal Dennis

 

Like the Simmons!
ETA930 or related? Adjusted as well?
