From a retired sherif, currently a Ski Patrol. Owned since new.
Now to me!
He found the brochure and bunged it in the box as an after thought.
Thought 'You might like it..."
Oh yes.
This is one of the most original watches I have acquired.
Lovely

On its way from Singapore. My first Rolex: a one owner 1968 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 1500 (with papers) on the correct 7835 bracelet with 257 end links. Needs a little love, but I think it'll turn out nice.

From eBay, on its way. I started this hobby buying a UG triple date that was actually a Franken Mervos. So this one is a redemption watch 😉

Edit: this thread on OF discussed that Franken

Bit of a risky one for me... no movement shot but at least I know it runs.

Fingers crossed it has the dust cover...

That dial lay out is so different and unique

I have got to show this here:

A Helvetia compressor diver with built-in depth meter 😁

If anyone knows about these (or their twins made by other marques), let me know!

Got my Wolf Watch Winder from Amazon today!

Works great and it's just beautiful. I might upgrade to a lcd model though.

A few days old now, but with a new strap. New watch, daily wearer, relatively inexpensive, quite waterproof, casual, legible dial, just what I need after worrying too much about scuffing more expensive watches. Now furnished with a comfortable silicon rubber watchband. Very happy so far!

Congrats! I'm glad someone bought that beauty; I was sorely tempted by it.

I didn't have enough money to buy a watch so I decided to buy some hands

What I bought today was a Wolf Watch Box. Highly recommended buy from Amazon. Beautifully made, room for 15 watches and best news for me - room for 6 more! One will be a Speedie by the end of the year, no doubt!
