My Combat Subs.
Love the looks of these things, if only they made a 39-40mm model.
Nice lighting!
How about a trio of 50s Conquests (on Nautilus bracelets):
I am intrigued by the mention of a "gray calfskin strap" in the same breath as the "10% iridium platinum" case and "18K applied gold numeral dial," especially given that the Richmond and Ardmore descriptions make no mention of straps. I suppose the gray calfskin strap was an important part of grayscale ensemble. Thanks for sharing.
Here's the same trio in the 1936 catalogue. Notice they mention a platinum buckle and finest gray calfskin strap. The Rutledge was Hamilton's top-of-the-line model at the time: $175 during the height of the depression was a chunk of change.
