Not a purchase but an arrival 😀

Without wanting to sound as if i'm at an Oscar ceremony I must thank a very good friend on this forum for making the introduction that led to this purchase and of course to my current wife 😉 and daughters for contributing to the funds.

IWC calibre 89 dating to 1952. Couldn't be happier and I hope "Santa" is as good to all of you guys.

That movement is pure watch porn!!!
Very nice!👍

Did you have to swing for both daughters, or did you get it for one?🤔

Both still here, I reckon they heard that there jackets were on shoogly nails as they are being extremely nice to the old boy of late 🤔

This arrived today and after a little (very little) clean up and some polyWatch here it is...

Zenith Chronograph Cal. 146DP

This came on a wrong sized ratty strap with what I believe to be a wrong era buckle

Put on an appropriate sized Hirsch Regent crocodile strap and it looks fantastic!🥰

With help from OF I'm very pleased with my first Zenith! And after a service I see this getting a lot of wrist time.
Merry Chriatmas all!

Yes I was pleasantly suprised. It is in need of a service and maybe a new crystal but it does look better now that I have it in my hot little hands. It was a little dirty, all I did was clean it up a little and polywatch the crystal and remove the ratty strap that was on it. Thanks for posting this Lou, I'm loving it!

Thanks for the compliment, this is the second watch I've purchased from the recommended threads in the last few months. I picked up my Polerouter a few months ago from the recommended UG thread. Right place at the right time I guess.😀

That's one of the great truths in watch collecting, it really does.

It has everything original, I suppose, right?

Not sure. Kind of hard to find info on it online. It came to me by way of my local watchmaker from one of his collector clients, so it should be all correct.

PO 8500 42 mm. Decided to bite the bullet after all. I should get it tomorrow or monday depending on shipping. I was going for the Liquid metal LE, but after seeing both in person the LM has only the thickness of the 2500 movement going for it, and I think I can leave with the thickness of the new model and save myself a few grand. I have a 45.5 mm PO already that I will probably sell...or keep for when I'm feeling insecure at the beach 😉

Used my Christmas bonus on '07 Hourglass Cabernet Sauvignon and '04 JJ Prüm Spatlese. 😉 Literally bought some cheer for Christmas. 😜
