It's a pelican case with a custom cut foam insert....will try and find where it came from.

 

Was a gift from Mrs P so will need to ask her

 

Arrived at home, something to look forward to seeing in a month or so

 

This is @ home waiting for me......Thanks Kent for your help I got it.

 

Perfect

 

That's a beautiful strap Jan has made for you.

He certainly does quality work...

 

I've been looking for one as well.

 

Vintage Austin Chronograph.

Any info concerning this company would be appreciated.

Not much available. Read one post saying Austin Watch Co was the house brand for Gordon Jewelers.

 

I have the same @jankoxxx strap with patina on a patina'd Seamaster and love the quality and the feel. Enjoy yours!

 

Bought another lot of old Longines movements for $40. 4LL x2 (not sure what I will do with these. Probably just ask my watchmaker if he can use them and give them to him), 8L, 370, 23Z, and 10L. Can use the 8L, 23Z, and 370 for parts as needed for my other watches. My wife is getting suspicious of all the watch parts showing up in the mail. Probably should stop scouring ebay for deals.

 

Just arrived. I'd like to know more about Subs before I pull the trigger on one hopefully later this year.

 

I have the same 1 on the way. He makes a mean pair of shoes.

Been on the list for awhile - couldn't pass on it.

Got a new rubber strap with a deployant (or deployment for our European friends) clasp. It's not fancy and not on a fancy watch, but it's very comfortable.

 

After some serious hunting, I achieved the impossible and landed this 1 of 10 limited edition Squale opaco today. So much more to appreciate on this watch in person!

 

Not bought today, but finally home....
Unitas made loads of movements for others. They are relatively uncommon under their own brand.
This one is an issued ATP British military watch. The cal 173 has an exceptionally nice finish for a military watch.

 

That's a beautiful watch. I'm sure it's great to have back!

 

A fascinating 60-page Favre-Leuba catalog from 1939, full of Zeniths and Jaegers and clocks and gizmos. With an elephant on the cover. Heck, there are Reversos in there that were probably sold to actual polo players.

 

I've been looking for a good super compressor, something with a GMT hand, and a vintage watch with original beads of rice bracelet. This gets all of those in the perfect 36.7mm size. Thanks to @donkii for the smooth transaction!
