Is the Bucherer brand the same as the modern Carl F Bucherer? I like the peripheral rotor they do.

 

The founder of Bucherer struck up a relationship with a guy named Wilsdorf in the early days. I think they are still the biggest Rolex AD so it doesn't surprise me that the house watches came from Rolex, VC etc.

I think they saw more money in cheaper watches to a bigger market in the later years though.

 

Yes, Carl F Bucherer is their in house watch brand, named after the founder of the company.

 

Hey Rich, better grab this one while you can

Oh.



I LOL'd for a good 30 seconds, straight. Thanks, I needed that

I was tempted. The seller says its "high class"!1!! and it's a watch made for royalty (? I think because of all the jewels?).

You know know you can't buy class but this could be the one time...

 

I hadn't realized she's priced in AUD so $1438 isn't too far out of line compared to a lot of the shite I'm seeing out there lately.

The melt value of the gold is probably 7/800 bucks.

Also, it's kinda ugly.

 

My only Bucherer. This one in a case which uses 4 stainless steel screws, one behind each lug, to hold the movement "canister" in place. Landeron 48 movement. The only watch I have ever seen that uses a crown with a "male" post within, rather than the typical arrangement. Two-piece stem. Decent, but I never wear it. Sorry for the drappy file photo, but it's locked away.

 

Bucherer with ETA, great 43mm but wearable!

 

Que?

I think that's a great size!

 

And who wants that?? Thank goodness for the fact there are still some good watches to be had for a reasonable price!!
Is there a conspiracy to ensure no watch will remain affordable?

 

I read somewhere that there is a Bucherer model with the legendary Peseux 260 inside, but because Bucherer listings almost never have a movement shot, never found one

 

I'm skeptical.

Bucherer are arguably undervalued in the market, but don't confuse the typical quality of their vintage watches with that of Gübelin.

 

I've picked up on a couple of sources, but googling just now found this pic. Nice watch

Picked up this Bucherer chronograph with a V7733 and wonder who the maker might be



Any insights welcome



Caseback has what may be a model number, google search turns up a few others but nonw with dive bezel

 

The four Musketeers

 

So cool!

 

My newest Bucherer addition!

 

Those are definitively my cup of tea. Great ratio quality/price. I will start scanning the bay. Any tip with a PM is very welcome.

 

Watch recon will be helpful.
