Bought and posted about a week ago. Arrived this morning.
Will receive some TLC later, but as a starting point I am very happy indeed.
These elaborate dials are VERY far between on Lemania watches..... Lemania late 40s/early 50s.
The HW cal 3000 was developed from the same base movement (S27) they also used to create the CHRO27/Omega 321 in case anyone wondered😉.

Last purchase of 2014. Finally landed Down Under this afternoon.
I'm very happy.


Will need a little tinkering to get running.
I'll try and get some more revealing pictures in the daylight over the next couple of days.
Looks like a clock from a 50's-60's Ford Thunderbird?

OMG. You bought a clock made from a jet engine 😲
Those small Jet engines can be a lot of fun.😀

1367-4, First vintage purchase.
Nice snag. Let us know your plans for cleaning it up. I'm sure there will be several wanting to advise you.
Remember the emphasis is on proper conservation not renovation. 👍

My plan is just a clean, oil, and adjust for the movement, for the case just a cleaning, no polishing. Probably will leave the dial alone as attempting to clean will most likely ruin it.
