Visited an auction house and left a cheeky wee bid on a mixed bag, some pocket money less and it was mine.
Think you will be able to spot what I did -


A pretty "mingin" bunch -


A little "spit and polish" (more required) and I think "I won a watch" in fact it's my first Moon Watch 馃榾 dating from 1908



The rest of the bunch, a surprisingly tidy Timex, sunburst dial dating from 1967. Smiths Empire requiring a crystal and a ladies Ergo in silver. They may all be released but the Waltham I admit may just hang on for a while -


I know I'm a bit late to the party, but Dibs! On the Waltham...nice party bag to take home [emoji2]

My third C-shape arrived today. (Love it, when this happens on friday).

It came directly from my watchmaker. It's not perfect, but a great wearer and looks stunningly in the flesh!

Really like these C-shapes. 馃グ

Brilliant, how old is Sinbad? Nelson is 11 months and still very wary of me but slowly slowly. I was pondering an Amazon but thought to where I was living and Nelson noise wise is a better choice,

We have had Sinbad for 35 years. She was wild caught ( a practice that thank God has been outlawed, at least in most countries ) so we don't know her full age

Hi there,
just bought this today for 45USD!
It is my first Gruen and I always wanted a watch with this very cool hands style that I can only find on this brand.
The watch is not working but the movement seems in fair condition or at least complete although the balance wheel remains hidden .
What you guys think, did I go well with this one?

A NOS case with chapter ring showed up today from Istanbul. So happy to make progress on this project watch. Still needs a good service but the hard part is out of the way.
