    Bought mainly due to the overall cool condition and the very special lug fixation to the case. Late 20s-early 30s.
    Longeau used to be a trademark of Enicar. Apart from that I am clueless. Please enlighten me if you may

    Got two new ones last week, a Organa Chronograph (no idea about the movement, but it was cheap, very good looking and serviced (!) :

    And a Seamaster Bumper Jumbo, ref. 2494 - nothing less than number three in my collection!

    The mailman came! One classic Omega and another... an early oversized Universal Geneve. I say oversized because this case type is generally associated with their large early chronograph pocket watches.

    These arrived today - two watches from @Tony C. - an Eterna and Juvenia. Two simple but very classy three handers with cool dials and lugs!

    I also love the straps they came with, such a pleasant surprise!

    A new Everest strap for my GMT. Couldn't wait until I got home to change straps so used a drawing pin in lieu of my strap changer.

    A Jolus branded Landeron 48 in a 37.5mm 18k case.

    Jolus L48_112916 4696.jpg

    This is my first experience with this movement and I like it! The upper pusher only starts the chrono and the lower stops and resets it. Very smooth action on both.

    The dial is a little gnarly as you can see but the case is pretty nice...

    Have been eyeing this off for a couple of weeks, and nabbed it today on the way to work. Chuffed!

    You need to find another route to work, otherwise it could easily get expensive! Congratulations on the Speedmaster :thumbsup:

    Love both of those. You know that when you buy from Tony, you're getting something amazing.
