This arrived today. Very nice square Tudor from the late 40's. I plan on replacing the band immediately, this one feels very cheap.
When your watchmaker calls you and says he has something ready to collect .... Circa 1954 Smith's DeLuxe in 9ct gold (with box): C. 1943 Kreigsmarine Alpine (need to get that hand colourmatched): C.1934 Cyma (sold already): c.1951 Smith's pre-DeLuxe, horned lugs and a dial I've never seen before on this watch ... this one's staying with me: And, lastly, a 1973 Seamaster Cosmic ... all original, quite rare and (to my mind) under-appreciated. Also already gone:
Not a watch, but I did pick up a period-correct folded-link 9315 Tudor bracelet for my 9401/0 “Snowflake.” Nicely refurbished too, diver’s extension, and much more comfortable in the summer than leather.
Hi all Newbie here so go easy. Thought I'd share a couple of my watches. Racing https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-...ing-co-axial-chronograph-40-mm-32632405002001 Moonwatch (2018 Hesalite) I love these both so much. The racing very much a weekend and casual wearer, whilst I use the Moonwatch during the week.
I am quite pleased. I got a call from my watch maker today saying my watch is ready to pick up. The issue is I have both a 60’s constellation and a 70’s dynamic in for service and I don’t know which one it is, if I’m fortunate it will be both. Either way it’s a good day. This year so far started with a surgery to repair a finger I crushed and I have another one coming up for tendons I ruptured in my shoulder. We must reach out and embrace these happy moments. We never know what is going to happen next but it always does and it never asks our permission. Stay well and healthy everyone, enjoy the fine Swiss watch making. Just about everyone I know says watches are useless and use phones as time keepers. They are missing out.
I have ordered from KS in past, but not a watch. I have had good luck with KS projects and I'm thinking this watch should be the same. I think only downside with KS is that delivery is usually longer than they initially project.
That is very nice looking. I posted a link to an article about quality Chinese watches. They are stepping it up now. My wife is going to Shanghai and hefei for a business trip this month. I’m going to ask her to pick up a couple of things I’ll see if she sees something like that. What is the case size on that
Could someone give me some help on this. I got my constellation out of service today. I payed 300 for the watch and 180 on service. I don’t know what year it is. I’m thinking of changing the brick to leather I’m having a little issue with the clasp I may seek a new one out. It’s really good to have it back, I really like it
