Many thanks to @ulackfocus for his generous gift of this little gem of a watch...
the tired squirrel also has a big heart.
it will be easy to fulfill my mission to wear it and use it as it deserves.
The I phone pics do not quite do justice to its crisp dial and original, pristine early mineral glass.















Waiting for a couple 10mm fixed lug straps ... not so easy to find ones that are not dull.
My watchmaker being on a long vacation, it'll be a while before I can open it.

 

A very pretty piece! Very generous of @ulackfocus indeed. Wear it in good health

 

My main rule in this hobby: if it isn't being worn, move it on to somebody that will wear it. Thought for sure my wife would dig this but I was dead wrong. After seeing a few of the watches S posts, I knew this was right up her alley.

Your quite welcome S! Give it the wrist time it desires.

 

Look forward to seeing it on your wrist. That's a cracking watch!

 

Thanks again Dennis, I'm more than happy to oblige
Now my interest in vintage watches having started with military pilot watches, ladies' watches were an improbable direction -- but everybody feel free to pass on any of the following if they are being neglected by wives or girlfriends:
- Zenith sub sea diver (1960s -1970s with bakelite bezel);
- Omega Seamaster 60 or 120 (same period), preferably colorful;
- Caribbean diver (Jenny, Philip, or other), etc etc

 

Potentially sexist comment here....................but you are a woman?? I was convinced all members here are sad, middle aged guys..........

 

What a sweet piece of history!! Wear it in good health!

 

Looks like fresh meat.

 

Wow, and in such nice condition...outstanding! For someone "temporarily retired" that Dennis sure gets around. Wear it in good health Syrte.

 

Thanks @Hijak ... this goes to show that "retirement" sometimes permits to focus on the important things

 

Ha, I see what you did there, very funny. But seriously this is a fantastic watch!

 

Could not agree more! And seriously I am totally grateful for it!

 

That dial, those hands, and the case...

Glad it's in good hands errr on good wrists.

 

and @Syrte scores again!!! another cute little one! we'll be looking for that wrist shot! enjoy!

 

Thanks gents, this one indeed is a pretty delightful conclusion for the fortuitous micro ladies' watches series.

Are we on the same forum? I've seen about three women here, young people of both genders, and quite a bit of happy cheer...

 

Correction - mostly sad, middle aged guys........

 

Yes, there are several woman - so to all the sad middle aged guys: put on some Gdamn pants, stop the fking cursing, and act fking polite!!!!

 

Bitter, you forgot bitter...

 

Bluing is a lost art and this is a fine example.
Syrte, may I ask the dimensions?
Women generally wore pendants and I was wondering if this started as a pendant, a junior, a small mens or indeed, a woman's watch!

 

Very elegant, although it lacks the wide flat bezel that would make it a true cala................

Oops, I mean it's a true classic.



And a pat on the back for the donor.
