路Just pulled the trigger on a basically NOS Doxa 300T Sharkhunter with a Synchron case and US Divers Co marked dial. Ships over to me tomorrow. Super pumped to see it in the metal. Will post pics when it gets here.

路路Carpe horologium!Forgive my ignorance, but is that an orange boy? I'm not extremely familiar with vintage Heuer. It's a good looking piece.

路It麓s been a bit of a dry spell just lately so I麓m very happy to report the arrival of this one which came in just a couple of days ago.
A cal 381 ref 2471 in steel, with an 11.2 million serial number dating it to around 1947. I love these Cosmic麓s but finding a nice one can be quite tricky with so many of them being over polished, water damaged and/or re-dialed, this one however has a lovely patina and a nice crisp case 馃榾

路That is gorgeous @cristos71. I love the balanced look it has even with the amount of info provided. I hope it's not to early into your ownership to be calling dibs. 馃榿

路路Not in LA anymore.This one ticked off too many boxes to resist: something from the Navitimer family so that I get the ultra-geeky circular slide rule, a white(-ish) dial chronograph, and a Moon Phase complication. It was acquired during our recent Middle East vacation.

路a shipping container for a watch......
back in the day of the great American pocket watch, you could go to the jeweler, choose a movement and a case and he would put it together for you and you had a watch. Most watches left the factory uncased, which sort of rules out the originality of the case issue with a lot of this stuff.
Anyway, long ago an Illinois movement left the works in this packaging: a glass ended steel case in a steel case! Omega's box in a box has nothing on this! (the movement in the picture is an old Waltham that's wishing it was an Illinois tonight..... just for the pictures......
