··Adam @ ΩFThis is my earliest Rolex. It's a 32 mm silver cushion-shaped Oyster with enamel dial, ref. 4913 (present on outer and inner case back). The SN is not present -- not sure if it was worn or polished off or, being so early, simply didn't have one. I would place this as late '20s, but not entirely sure. The crown is probably a slightly later replacement; I think it would have had an onion shaped crown originally.
I count at least 8 service marks on the inner case back!

·What 😲, You bought a watch !
Yes, a watch that I would never have even known about if it weren't for an enabler 1200 miles south of me. And what's really strange is I bought it because of that bracelet.

What's next? An Accutron?
I thought you were a watch band kind of guy...

·What's next? An Accutron?
I already owned an Accutron - a fairly uncommon one at that. (1963 Yellow Dot B Spaceview with the box and manual) I even owned one of those hypermegasuperduper quartz Constellations with the box & papers too.

I most certainly am. However, any time you see a vintage IWC with the period correct (and hopefully original) logo bracelet, you gotta take a look. In this instance, the bracelet is worth between 1/3 and 1/2 of what I paid for the entire watch. IWC bracelets are some of the best in the industry.

Dig the Ref. 10, upper left corner. I believe you've got the Coca-Cola version. The Real Thing.

··LemaniacIt finally arrived. My Lemania 13CH has already featured as my Avatar for some time, but it took some time at the spa before making it back home.

·Well, I seem to have shaken off my habit of only finding gold capped watches with this lovely patinated Seamaster:
The amount of human residue I had to clean off it before it was presentable once again was staggering 🤮
Naturally, however, the cosmic balance had to be maintained, so today I've bought no less than two jumbo bumper Seamasters - both in gold cap 😁 😁
The first one was with an online auction I've been looking at for some time, while the second was an attack of opportunity with a price too good to be true - I simply had to strike!!
I guess I ought to unload one or two of these, as they are really filling a niche in my collection that's more than adequately filled in the first place 🤦
