And a mystery Zenith (at least to me): https://omegaforums.net/threads/help-what-did-i-buy-zenith-ug-chronograph.31439/ Update: No longer a mystery! Zenith cal 122 (UG 281) 1930s watch.
@ConElPueblo sorry for the delay in the response but I've not had the time to browse through it yet. Will do a separate post when I get a chance. Not near as classic as your 1947 version. Cheers, Mark
Lol apropos of: I had given my son a Citizen (rich!) Newmaster a couple of years ago and earlier tonight he asked me if I had a metal bracelet for his watch ...a voilà !!!!! I quietly laughed to myself and told him...I've just what you need, son!! Like you, I've a ziplock bag full of mostly Speidel stretchers harvested from DAD WATCHES. *edit - now that I really look at the citizen, I realize she looks really good with a metal bracelet - gives the watch a cool heavy metal look.
That's true. I got the following watch on one of these (here on a goatskin strap). I had to cut it through, as somebody used unremovable spring bars to mount it ... :
I actually are cutting these off relatively often. The reason is that the spring bars are often rusted solid, and instead of scratching the lugs further in a futile attempt to remove the shit, I rather bring forth the cutting pliers.
I have a similar (same case), but cal 5100. Maybe you, as being the Forum´s undisputed Lemania-expert , can explain the difference(s)?
Lemania 5012 has a lower beat rate of 21'600A/h as opposed to the higher beat rate of 28'800A/h of Lemania 5100. You can actually hear the difference if you listen to each watch one by one. Caliber 5100 also has a 24hr sub-register. I'm sure Northernman can elaborate further in detail.
