    That is absolutely gorgeous. I'm looking for the same. I was a little confused though. What did you mean when you said "stop"?

    I've jumped into this "hobby" with both feet, met some great contacts via this forum. Playing beat the market especially with UG kinda wound me up into a new and vintage buying habit that needs to stop. I'm fortunate to have a good job and disposable income but I have a nice collection for now and I need to chill. Here on OF there are DAILY temptations! Like the sweet Croton Chrono that was just listed! Cold shower!

    This has private label or Frankenstein UG written all over it. A fine looking watch regardless!

    Nice surprice :)

    Got it from an auction site, almost no one bidding but me :)

    Not much wear on this one and an uncommon reference.

    Ref. BK14757-62-SC, caliber 600 from 1962

    Auction picture:

    And after some cleaning and a strap, it turned out well :)

    No idea, I only commented on the hands being very similar to those on my 1946 LeCoultre:

    The seconds hand is a bit different...

    Just a little Seiko that caught my eye. Thinking of swapping to a NATO that will compliment the orange second hand. Any suggestions?

    It looks like a private label UG to me.
