Very affordable and decently made leather watch roll, custom-made from Etsy. Quite happy with it, esp the slightly distressed leather look 😀

This was so cheap I couldn't pass it up, also completely immaculate and untouched. The raised indices are beautiful in the flesh. 🥰😀

a little bit of a shame about the corrosion on the hands lume loss and a bit of radium burn ... but hey, it is 50 or more years old...

now I just need a new strap as the one that came with it (possibly original) is cracked and if I use it It will fall apart.

I'm a little hesitant to put the bracelet back on this as I wouldn't want to damage the lugs.🙁 I'm thinking, only thinking, about selling the bracelet.😲

I'm always a little embarrassed to post here. This is a tough crowd to follow:

These just in, fresh from the USPS:

The Seiko will be a new daily beater and the Wittnauer is a project watch.

I've recently fallen under the Longines spell; this is my first:

I'm mystified why I just had to have this Chronostop but I just had to have it.

Great score @laughing_cavlier but IMHO radium burn is a great character addition, but again that's just me. Enjoy

A risk ? with an image like this yes but that's what life is all about. Not to many bawbees involved so worth a punt imho
Manual wind from the fifties ?

Thanks @1685 To be honest you can't see the radium burn in normal conditions, only on the photos. It really doesn't bother me, was just pointing it out 😀, I am enjoying it as I type 👍

Its hard to see in these pictures but the sunburst pattern on the dial emanates from the sub second dial, looks incredible in natural light

Oh and it came with a pink gold plated bracelet
