This one is a very global acquisition for me. I purchased from an OF seller from Poland. - he shipped to a colleague of mine in Poland. - my colleague brought with him to a meeting we had in China. I took possession. - I took it home with me to Canada. - I took it with me to Germany and then to England 2 weeks ago. I shipped it to Master Hyman for some relumination. - This week I’m back in England and it was waiting for me at our local site. - I will take it home with me tomorrow and it will wait patiently until my Master Watchmaker returns from 5 weeks on the other side of the world in January and then it’ll have the service it needs so it can be worn regularly.
I bought a vintage chronograph with Valjoux 23. It is labeled with predial. Same type was sold by Vulcain. Predial was the label for the US. The movement is golden with Geneva stripes. The caseback was already strong worn and the engravement wasn't good anymore. So I decided to ask my watchmaker to make a glas window in the case back. The result is pretty impressive. Got the watch twice. So I can decide which movement I like to see
That's gorgeous! Movements shouldn't be hidden away, but adorned like art. Quite a good looking movement too!
Even though it is a franken, but it looks really nice! How thick is it? Quite interested with Heuer, especially the new Heuer Carerra with Calibre 02 without the date window, but not sure about the thickness.. I always have a soft spot for nice vintage dress watches
First Omega! Long lusted after the Seamaster Diver... got killer deal on new one (from auth'd dealer too!!). But. I think I may like the outgoing 41 better...
So this 16800 from my birthyear arrived today after having been temporarily lost in the mail. Phew... Now off to service
