·My latest arrival, from an original owner.
1949 Abercrombie & Fitch Solunar. AF 90.1 movement (modified Valjoux).
If there's any question about whether or not the lume is Radium, here's the original crystal.

·Got this Pepsi a couple of days ago on Friday... I took the pic before I even got to set the time and date for the first time.
It was bought new by a flipper on 3/2/19 and it's got the inner and outer box, both hang tags and bezel protector, warranty card and sleeve, and both green books. I've been on "the list" at two different AD in Denver ever since the watch was announced 3 years ago, and I started to think they'll never get one for me. So I gave up waiting, got rid of a few watches, and now have my Pepsi. It joins my Hulk and SubC ND that were bought new last year.
I was worried that it was missing 1-2 jubilee links because it fits me on a hot summer day without any left over links, and most of my Rolex have one spare oyster link (never had one with a jubilee), but an AD looked at my pics and told me it's fully linked. Can anyone here confirm this from my last pic? Thanks!

·I recently picked up this arly woman's pin set wrist watch....blue enamel bezel, sterling silver case, porcelain dial. The movement is marked "Paradis". An internet search for Paradis watches turned up nothing. I would appreciate hearing from anyone familiar with this manufacturer and/or the movement.
The case is Swiss, as indicated by the Swiss mark used during the period for sterling silver, a "standing bear". Sterling Swiss cases during the period were required to be marked in three locations with the "standing bear" -- in this instance, twice on the inside of the case back and once on the case head beneath the case back just below and to the right of the case serial number "918". The inside of the case back is also marked with a "crown within a crescent moon", which was required for silver products imported into Germany. The watch was apparently made for Kordes & Lichtenfels jewelers of Pzorheim, Germany, as indicated by the "K&L" marking inside of the case back.
Overall, the watch is in great condition, considering it is likely more than 100 years old -- my guess, given pin set movements were largely phased out in the early years of the last century.

·First watch of the year, I think. Great condition, barely worn
Dial looks blue on my screen, with my pic & the sellers. IRL, it looks more slate grey, with a faint hint of blue.

·Just received a NOS replacement balance wheel with spring for one of my Russian Pobedas. Straight from Russia 12 bucks and change postage included. Came in a nice little disc shaped plastic case.
Tried to post an image but no go. I may try again later.

·Another new addition is this 1913 Hamilton pocket watch. It's keeping decent time, and was - 4 seconds/day while dial up the first day.

·An eighties Sinn diver for under $30, and it appears to be in obscenely good condition with the sticker still on the back and really no wear or scratches. It’s built like a tank. The downside would be it’s quartz, and, erm, it’s a little bit small... somewhere around 29-30mm 😲
But the wife seems to quite like it and it’s pretty much the right size for my younger son. It was sold as defective and the seller couldn’t get the back off so the risk was the battery had leaked everywhere, but on first inspection it looks really clean inside. Looks like it was born in November 1986.
And for comparison...

What an interesting historical piece. Congratulations.
The enamel bezel is very striking. I love seeing such old pieces in working order. I'll have to watch out for something like this for my wife.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Day 1...Timex American Documents... I was curious, figuring I could send it back if I hated it. I love it. Finishing is top notch. The heft and feel is great. The Red Wing strap is great. Even the cherrywood box is great. Yea Swiss quartz, and there has been lots of sniping directed at this project on line, but IMO the sum of the US made parts and US assembly is worth the premium. It’s NOT for everyone, but it represents an interesting new direction for Timex. Plus as an RGM owner, I’m all for bringing watchmakers back to the US.

·Just couldn’t resist this price of history to add to my little family of wrist friends.The watch is a Swiss hand-winding movement, identified as a Marvin, which is working nicely from what I can see so far. The watch has a 32.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and has silver london hallmarks inside the case back . The lens appears to be acrylic with no visible scratches.
The hallmarks indicate the watch is circa 1914 and has an importer's mark for George Stockwell.The case is in reasonably good condition for such an early piece with just a couple of “dings” to the back. Nothing less than expected, think about it, its 105 yrs young!
The dial is in lovely condition, the larger Roman numerals and red number XII give the watch a great look. It has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
Only downside is it has a replacement strap. Can have everything I suppose!
