I was just fondling a few of the watches in the 'affordables' drawer that I hadn't fondled in awhile, and it suddenly occurred to my that either the drink I had mixed (or some pure luck of composition) had just created a a pleasing view ... but also perhaps a small puzzle... so the question is: How many of these little jewels can you ID? (specific models, in most cases if you please!)
I suppose the top 4 are pretty obvious, so let’s make it just those 6 that are in the drawer... Anyone wanna play?
I believe all of those 6 are from the 50's... except for the one on the far right, which is an 'out-lyer' in another way... where from...
Thanks! It really doesn't get the wrist time it truly deserves... it's a problem for most all of these watches. I'll probably wear one of these tomorrow between Speedies...
And I just realized there's another 'outlyer' in the 6 when it comes to country of manufacturer... all Swiss except for one from France, and one from Japan!
There's also (edit) two power reserve(s) in there... anyone care to guess the make, or model? (or which one?!)
This one isn't fair. It could be one of 100 different brands. Roamer? Nicolette? Landau? Here is a pic of my Landau for comparison.
Great point... I had no idea there were that many of those! Lesson learned... you take the prize on that one, too! Harvel Date-O-Graph The French watch will be kinda hard to ID, so let's forget about the one on the far right:
Hint: the middle one is actually a pocket watch; a very well-known and popular non-Swiss brand with a different name...
The upper one is probably too far in the shadows for anyone to recognize... but it’s a cool-looking 32-33mm PR with a dome dial..
BTW, I goofed on the bottom watch. I thought it was the alarm watch made by this company (another watch that I also own), but it's actually a power reserve, too, like the top one! I wouldn't be able to sleep with that mistake on my mind...
Doug, If I get one right, does that mean I can have it at the next get-together?? If that’s the case, throw some watches that have been certified by NASA in there and I can do my best.
Sorry, Les, these are from the ‘affordable section ... I.e., you’re in the wrong friggin’ THREAD! FWIW, I did think about giving one away to the overall winner, but I guess I’m WAY TOO much of a hoarder to justify THAT...
