Had this arrive this morning.
Bought because with 70 jewels it's got to be good right ........😗
Haven't opened it yet but it is in perfect working order the only bug in the ointment is the gold plated bezel, the case itself is extremely good with zero brassing or wear other than normal use, so that challenge is where to find another matching bezel.
Only bought it for the laugh of 70 jewels but it's actually far better than I had thought making it a serious worthwhile restoration project with it's excellent dial and case and movement.

Both are now here. I ordered the one on the left on Dec 21. Can not get the back off. First I tried the rubber ball. Then gave it some character with a jacksa[sp] 3 prong tool. I have a rolex type case opener but no dies that will fit this. Guess I will have to take it to the hardware store.

Of course Two are not enough. I just won this on GW a few minutes ago.

Will probably write these up on the other forum. I am kinda curious what is in a high grade quartz watch.

I just acquired this Junghans Electronic in NOS condition excited.gif for 240 €. The principle is similar to that of the Hamilton Electric, but differs from the early ones in that the contacts are not mechanical, but with a transistor. It is said that the movement has chronometer precision. Look at the extremely fine adjustable microregulator. Or the high jewel number (17). Pulling the unusually positioned crown stops the seconds hand for precise setting. These Junghans, so far in good condition, are imo heavily underrated.

Cheers, Bernhard

Vintage store find! First time I've scored something decent in the wild.

It is here. This one has a bezel and ticks. Crystal though is a scratched up mess.

I plan to write it up on the other forum. (As soon as I find the motivation.)

Serica does not has an exact same model. Mine is a customized watch from a different watch maker, though I have to admit it's quite like a Serica 5303 except the dial.
