·Sooo...
Like many of you, I follow various auctions and hope to find something good. Preferably also at a good price. This has become more difficult in recent years, but this time I was kinda lucky.
I recently bought a lot of 10 watches from a local auction house. Only a couple of the watches were specified in the description, strangely the two "best" watches were not mentioned at all.
Of the watches, these three were at least worth taking care of.
I have a soft spot for this Accurist that screams 70's. The other two runs within whats expected and are at least not rubbish.
But it was these two who made the auction exciting.
An off-brand but very cool chronograph with a Landeron 248 movement.
And an Omega Marine Standard.
Lume is missing in the hands, the dial has suffered some major radium burns and the crystal is probably original to the watch and bears the marks of many years of use.
Nevertheless, I thought it was a nice example with a lot of charm if nothing else.
The movement is correct to the watch (T17) and runs as it should.
The serial number places the watch in the late 1930s (1939).
What did you think?
I paid $450 USD for all the watches by the way.
