·Today went thrift shop browsing and came away with these 2.
Paid $6.00 each, perhaps I over paid.
The Roamer womens watch has no discernable wear to the case whatsoever which surprised me given it's age, just needed to polish the lens and put a new strap on.
The Buren, well what can I say there is no disguising the extreme wear to the chrome case but there is little wear to the brass case beneath it. The movement is pristine with many watchmakers service marks.
That dial however is all patina, probably to much patina for most but it is what it is.
Both watches are running very well but obviously can do with a service ( which I don't think I will do).
The Buren really is a vintage patina master!
Some will love it but most probably might shy away.
All I have done to both of these watches is polish the lenses and clean the cases.
