I'm not sure if this was already done before. But I'm hoping to see some cool / funky / unique / weird lugs! Let me get the ball rolling with these twisted lugs from my SM 300 and UG Polerouter Date:

C'mon, let's see those lugs!

I think that the title of this thread should read, Lug Shots.

Ok! So, now, aside from posting lug pics, you may also post your suggestions for the thread's title 😉

Articulated lugs on a mid '40s Gruen Veri-Thin "driver's watch". Lugs on a Hamilton Ventura (original in 14-karat).

Are there regular spring bars on the Hamilton? How do you replace the straps?

That's beautiful! Not just the lugs, but everything - the bezel, the dial, the hands. Gorgeous!

Wow, that's the best part - the movement! May I know more info on this IWC - model / ref #, etc?

This thread comes in handy.
Just this morning, when looking at some of the "What about this 145.022?" threads, I was wondering if I should start a thread to brag about the lugs of my 145.022-69.

What's the 2nd watch?

A German Junghans, nothing fancy, but nice fifties/early sixties style, gold plated, NOS bought by me in the early eigthies.
With the original (cheap) factory strap still attached.

Just noticed I have another one from the same (actually a neighbouring) tree, an Arctos:
