Havn't heared nothing from this brand before as well. The case is a super compressor used from many brands like Longines, Bulova, Benrus, Hamilton, Wittnauer...the AS 1700/01 was common in this watches as well. There are microbrands as well offering this type of watches. If you goolge Frey or Margi super compressor, you will find more or less the same watch. This is one of them.

There is not much lume left, so it seems to be tritium and not radium....

 

This first series De Luca is winging its way to me.

 

Both watch and strap are very very nice

 

in love with my new purchase. Just picked it up today!

 

2609 from 1952

 

If the crystal is not cracked plexiglass can be easily polished . First use a 600 grit sand paper then a 1600 grit then follow with Poly Watch . You should find video easily on YouTube.

 

Done! Plexi looks much better:

 

Double incoming this morning (from a US pawn broker), and later I’m off to pick up a wreck from the post office. Shame about the rusty sub on the Autavia. Might be putting out a WTB for a Mk1 7763c dial later. Bezel and chrono second hand for the Le Jour is sorted.

 

Just arrived in the post , Tissot sea star navigator . Looks to be all original including the bracelet & getter harder to find one that's not been messed with , I know it's had either a light polish on the top of the case or its polished with years of wear , but that can be redone quite easily . Will have a closer look this evening at the movement also , but does anyone know if the bezel comes off easily as it looks misaligned to me .

 

I'm getting ready for summer time, so I ordered the rubber strap and clasp from the factory for my Hydro Conquest Chrono.

 

Just arrived,
Picked up this 1952 Claw Lug Longines Automatic Caliber 22A from @X350 XJR and must say I'm very happy with the whole experience!

Now I just need to figure out what strap to pair with this new addition to my very small collection!

 

I purchased an Omega Speedmaster ST 105.003 1964 today...driving to Missouri and picking it up at a Hooters tomorrow.

I’ll be expecting plenty of new photos once you get it! Congratulations, such an awesome watch.

I also recently nabbed a, well, an “Ed Whitish” watch but I don’t get to pick it up at Hooters

Going to make a fun project!

 

One on its way from oz. to the U.K
Goes with my 1952 Triumph TRW R.A.F 500cc Sv motorcycle

 

I got this G-shock dw-5600dmw recently, because I wanted a vacation watch without being a "diver". This one works great so far and fits my purpose pretty well! View attachment 764300 View attachment 764301 View attachment 764302

 

An uncommon and perhaps even rare Datejust with a blue mosaic dial and a smooth bezel on its original oyster bracelet in nice condition. Took over a year to find one so quite pleased to finally land it.

 

Not anything that would amaze people here on OF, but I finally got my first omega - a speedmaster pro Hesalite version.

The watch is quite pretty and loving it thus far.

 

The most recent arrivals for me are these three (though the first two I've had 6 months now! ).

First up is a Kingston Skin Diver; about as generic as you can get but it wears so well.


Next up, a bumper Polerouter that's been on my wrist nearly constantly


And last, though far from least, is the latest arrival, an Enicar Sherpa Guide 33


All three of these have been perfect so far and I know are going to get a lot more use this year!
