bell matic

 

I love the dial colour on that. Nice.

 

I didn't buy anything new, I had this UG 255 and an Olma Stainless steel case in one of my drawers I just finished re-casing.
Movement has a bit of oxydation that I couldn't clean but I think still deserves a display back .

 

nice combo! The bezel jives with the sub seconds dial very well. And I agree, a beautiful movement deserves to be seen!

 

Congrats on that one mate, glad it's going to the Southern Hemisphere! Seller is a great guy who is also a member here

 

Bought last week, but arrived over the weekend... 2x Seiko Gen 1 RAF military issue, from Jan and June 1990. Both are heading to service, and will get new crystals to tidy them up. My first military watch and first time I've worn a NATO so I'm getting a bit obsessed



The 7a28 was the first analog display quartz chronograph, with 1/20th seconds counted on the whirling sub dial at 3.

 

Choc dial Polerouter ... arrived Friday. Love this thing!

 

Aqua Lung Calypso depth gauge with 19mm Tropic strap...now on my Seiko. Neat piece of kit

 

Those Seiko Mk 1s are amazingly ahead of their time, 4 stepper motors. Also, very attractive and functional, though I never seemed to use mine as more than a timepiece.

 

This on a market stall on Saturday....

 

Got this from a flea market this morning

 

Wow!

 

Arrived today!

 

Delivered today, coming from Japan an IWC Cal89 from 1956

Crystal has aged badly, will probably be repalced during next service

Bridge says "adjusted in 3 positions", I can't find many occurrences or explanation about it.
I tought it could be linked to a possible US import code (CYN on balance bridge) but according to Dr Ranfft, CYN was for Prexa and not for IWC.

 

Picked this up at lunch...

 

Got this recently from @JakubL. Love how the light totally changes the character of the blue and how the crystal all but dissapears and makes the blue lacquer look like its 'deep'.

 

Stunning! Dibs

 

Stunning! Dibs?

 

Noted
Just not sure I will soon part with one of my first achieved "grail" (my new avatar was installed as a milestone)

 

Wow, brilliant dresser, strap looks great too.
