Hello! Can someone tell me a little bit more about this watch? It’s my grandfathers old watch. It runs perfectly.

Sorry for the bad picture, the camera lens on my phone is in pretty bad shape. Thanks in advance

 

I can. That is a Lemania automatic wound s/s watch in excellent vintage condition from the early sixties.

Here´s one I used to own, and I think yours is in similar shape

Take good care of her. Great heirloom

 

Thanks! I guess it could use a service, last time was around 20 years ago. From what my grandmother has told me, the watch haven’t been used for at least 15 years.

 

Definitely get it serviced then. Congratulations on it

 

I will echo everyone in saying to get it serviced. Particularly if it hasn't been in 20+ years. Old graphite grease can do nasty things to a watch movement! Your heirloom looks to be in excellent cosmetic shape and appears all original as well.

 

Here are some better photos of the watch!

 

OK, I didn´t need better photos to see that it´s in excellent shape. If you want to sell, I´m happy to buy it. I´m in Sweden, like I guess you are. Just send a PM

 

Yeah, I’ll contact you after I’ll get it serviced. Don’t want to sell something that is not working 100%, even tough it runs and hold time it need a service.

 

I found something interesting going through the watches he owned, anyone who know what this is? Thanks

 

It´s a noname pocketwatch in 80% silver. Well worn, goldplated when new. Maybe interesting in the 90ies. Not so anymore. Value is around 50$ I should say

 

Oh, I was expecting you to keep it as its a family heirloom, still each to their own. I will say that your inheritance is considerably nicer than the Pulsar Quartz I received from my father who was never into watches, it still going strong though.

 

Quick tip: Look up the history of Lemania, you'll find it fascinating.

Careful though, you might catch the bug....

 

Well, I haven’t decided yet. I might sell some watches, Or maybe I fall in love with every watch when I get to spend some time with them haha

 

One piece of advice: Find a watchmaker who has experience with VINTAGE watches.
If he suggest replacing the crown (yours is in a desirable original version), polishing, replacing luminous compound or other "touch ups", then RUN AWAY.
Movement caliber 3615 (automatic with date). Not common to see, at least outside of Sweden for some reason.

OF member @Mitka is a watchmaker with some experience with these. If you are willing to ship to the UK, he comes warmly recommended.
(He is Norwegian, don¨t let his UK address fool you
