I didn't technically purchase this. Rather, I received it as a gift for a deal i had been outright begging for, for almost 6 months. The seller felt sorry for me!
It's a very cool winder from the 1930's - it's a rather large case @ almost 38mm and 18mm fixed lugs.
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 🤦
So which one you're keeping and which one you are putting on sale?

These could be brothers.... sisters? ... not gold but very similar dials.
not bought today but recent and just back from some natural healing.

@watchme - Is that a Root Beer Tudor? No way! Is it gold, gold plated, or what?
And then this arrived from Texas.
And a new strap just "because".
Now I have to learn to properly set it so it doesn't trigger unexpectedly because it's "wicked LOUD"!
The small button all the way in for sure shuts it off and allows setting. Then pushing the crown in one click shuts it off and locks all the hand adjustment. Pulling the crown out allows regular time setting.
here's a video:
No idea yet! Have only had the solid gold one for a few days and am yet to receive any of the other two, so very undecided.
Loved that watch right up 'til the Google told me it was 43 mm. Oh, and the SWISS MADE above the minute / second track would drive me bananas.

Then you'd love this..
