You are the pooper of parties! You may have seen these lugs in the 40's, 41 years before I was born, but how often do you see them today?

Those of us who like vintage watches have found our own time travel machines, and we wear them too.😁

Very cool. My time machine was a '67 fastback Mustang. After I became a Dad it didn't make it out of the garage much so I sold it. Hopefully I'll have another one some day.

A humble Tissot from 1953, with tulip lugs.

These are the baddest-ass lugs in my possession. More like fangs, really.

They DO look like fangs! 😡

A '67 Mustang surely travels faster than a Longines on foot, even if the Longines has wings 😀 . Hopefully when the time is right you can find another vehicle to reward yourself!

Here's an unusual style that I've always been attracted to, the bat-wing.

Vacheron is probably the king of funky lugs.

Yes, I've been shedding quite a few looking at these beautiful lugs! 😉

Here are lugs from the Lip Genève:

Another one of mine I seldom wear, but I find the watch (and lugs) quite appealing. Gold filled, manual winder from the '60s.

LeCoultre used that case (in 14k YG) for some of their watches. Ain't that right @gatorcpa?

No, but I do...



Not surprising as V&C and LeCoultre were distributed in the US by the same company back then.

... And strangely both are now owned by the same company.
