Wow, that's nice!🥰

Thanks! The dial came out very nice after a quick polish of the crystal.

I bid on that one too. But lacked proper motivation. You got it at a good price IMO, Congrats to that! Given the crisp back, I was pretty sure the dial was flawless too.

So yes, buying more than dinner

Here's a nice catch that's been consummated....can't wait to get this one

The UG squirrel works hard these days......
UG281 35mm Uni Compax. A rather unusual dial design (lumed markers). I am no expert on these, but have hopes they are correct?!
Lacking the crown, a few scratches to the crystal and movement in need of some TLC. Should clean up well I suspect!

Not today but last week as I got distracted by my Breitling landing and turkey. This one will also receive a its own post in vintage as she's quite a rare find. The original Glycine Airman from 1954.

Next to the modern re-edition

Thanks! I had the chance to inspect it in person before bidding so I could have gone higher if you would have had more motivation ☺

Been looking for a decent second hand donor watch to make one of these:

Noticed today that Jomashop has Tintin Speedys at less that $3k new. Figured I was going to butcher it anyway so what good is a warranty going to be and pulled the trigger on this:

Not bought today, but arrived this morning. Universal Polerouter Geneve. Cal 69 microrotor automatic.
Pity about the small crack in the crystal as I have understood that the trapezoid date window crystals are currently as seldom seen as Dodo birds.
Otherwise it appears clean and unmolested. 😀
