Hi
I am very interested in this watch and have 2 questions. I hope I can get help from all you experts.
The first question is what is a super compressor? Related to waterproofness?
And secondly, do you think that it is refinished? Check the white color rests on hour indexes.
Do you think it is a good Lemania buy? There are not so many to choose from, or not.
Thank you in advance.

Because I didn’t get respons from OF community for my question above, I went and bought another Lemania (just joking). I don’t know so much about the watch. No caliber number but I guess somewere in 3000 series?
Would you please give me a short feedback?

Hi Tapaptpat,
thank you for sharing this. As I could guess the super compressor was a waterproof design.
Lovely watches all of them. I bought the second one above but I don’t have a clue what caliber it is. I have probabely to wait untill the watch comes to Sweden.
From which period could the watch be? 1960’s?

Thanks, I bought a camel colored strap from kaufmann.de (is it ok to write the company name?) and it has a very light brown color, almost beige.

late 50's early 60's
Cal 30xx or Cal31xx is my best guess

BTW, @Truva1
Congrats on the new piece 🥰

Ok i thinks it cal 3000 because it sub second 17 jewels with Breguet hairspring (i think)
Would be great to also see a photo of the inside caseback.

The 907 is case reference, Sometimes there would also be a second number indicating when the case was made.
With Lemania making ebuches(movements) for other manufactures to use in their watches. So there can be gaps when a movement was made and a watch was assembled so always assume dates are an approximation. something +-5 years unless there is imperial proof like "Happy 21st Truva1 21/11/08" Or like the service documents for parts have dates , for example 'page 2 addendum added 1962'.

As you earlier wrote ”late 50's early 60's” is enough for me.
