·Mailman delivered this today.
Speedmaster 125 anniversary, 1040 mov (or 1041??)??
1st shot after adjusting bracelet.
Unknown history.
I would guess it was refinished in recent years because finishing is very good in polished areas and in sunburst faces but dial seems original.

·I bought this Hema chronograph today at a very clean, well set up antique shop owned by an older, well dressed and well spoken gentleman and his wife. He had two full displays full of vintage and other watches. He said the vendor who owns the watches checks each watch for functionality and has the ones who need it serviced. I know some of you will find me too trusting and foolish, but I believed him. It was priced at $295 U.S., but after some haggling got out the door for just under $218, tax included. As a complete NOOB, I am interested in everyone's opinions and thoughts on value. I am in hopes that iI didn't get taken. The case is not SS, only the back, but from the brushing still remaining on the case, I don't believe it has ever been polished. What do you all think??

··Home For Wayward WatchesA Lemania arrived in the post office box this morning and has been ticking merrily all day. Had scarcely heard of the name and didn't know squat about the brand before joining the Forum. Due to the evil influence of Northernman and some others on the Forum I became intrigued with Lemania and thought to add "an example or three" to the menagerie over time. This watch was was located in Texas, not a fertile field for Lemania brand watches.
This seems a little chunk for a 35mm watch, heavy for its dimensions. Gives an impression of quality though it's been heavily used over the years. The dial is quite nice, a little creamier looking than the light on my firearms work bench shows. Markers and applied logo are in a pleasing rose gold and the aged lume plots give a pleasing effect. The stainless steel case shows the wear of years of use.
We'll try it on a pigskin strap.
A search of Google Images found a 1954 ad displaying a Lemania with a similar dial.
While I didn't scrutinize all the Lemania ads pulled up in Google Images I didn't notice any English language ads. Did the Lemania watches make a retail appearance in the U. S. or other English speaking countries?
Would be grateful for any information a Lemania aficianado would share.
