A Conquest automatic with cal. 290 and a greenish patina that matches the lume on the hands.

Fishy version

 

Sorry, but it has three more tacche

 

Oops, I stand corrected -- sei it is!

 

Another ref 8319-4 with cal 284

 

This watch has a long and interesting history that I'll tell you sooner or later







Meanwhile I can introduce you Mr. Ralph Henrick Olsson who received this watch from his father in 1929 and then gave it to his son Henrik in 1951.




Here you can see an old version in Italian --> http://orologi.forumfree.it/?t=63984328&st=60

 

I sense a Pulp Fiction-esque plot arising

 

Current state of the collection

 

Hydroquest on an oldish rubber for a less casual look/day. I preferred the all numeral dail when I got this, and the better movement, and still do as i think it straddles both diver and casual dress watch. A great travelling watch but now discontinued for the 3 numeral one i think?

 

Got a square Ultra Chron incoming in a few days. Very excited as I like the shape and dial, and always wanted to try a cal 431. Here's a seller pic:



Will post nice photos once in my claws

 

I really hope to get more

 

^superb


Meanwhile this one came in yesterday. Ordered some more appropriate straps for it, but for now this will have to do:




Cal 431 Ultra Chron. Haven't had the courage to open the back yet, so not sure about ref. nr. But I love this thing.

 

Ooo that's a nice one! You should sell it to me

 

Looks great! What is the size?

 

Thanks, The size is 35mm without crown

 

But i want to buy not to sell !!!

 

Tell me about it hahaha... okay so if you decide to, drop me a pm

 

Man, what a problem to have. I need to sell, lol

 

I'm too lazy to read all 32 prior pages, but someone at some point has pointed out what Longineseses rhymes with, right???
