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....

Got the Anthony Super Compressor (was offered here in the forum) yesterday. After a small adjustmet it runs with + 10sec today. Not bad far a 65 watch. I think I'll look after a new plexi to switch. Anybody any ideas how to source best?

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.

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,
1952 Claw Lug Longines Auto Cal 22A.jpeg

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’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!

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!
