Never seen them before, at first glance they looked like a piece from a
broken bracelet😀

It certainly looks that way to me, especially the cut out seen on the 6:00 one that sure looks like is showing a common steel spring bar inside.

Very nice' love the markers. What would a watch like that go for?
Any more photos to share.

I've no idea of the value on the market. I think all depends on the specific instance, its rarity and the state of conservation. I intend to use it more than just on formal occasions, so I put on a more casual strap (I could change my mind though).

What a stunning piece. Rosegold rocks!

My most recent pick-up, a classic Sei Tacche with a very strong case and stunning dial. I bought it non-running and with badly relumed hands. Got it fully serviced and James Hyman worked his magic on the hands. It’s now ready for another 75 years! I’m so stoked with this piece

What a lovely case and perfect dial.
I never thought it possible to restore hands to match the loom on the dial as he did. What was actually done? only hands?
I have a watch it like to have worked on. Where's this James Hyman from?

Yes, only the hands. Under UV light, the hands almost evenly glow (and fade) as much as the dial. James is from the UK, you can find him on Instagram under @thealchemistrelumer. He’s definitely not cheap, but the best.

Here’s how it looked before. In my opinion the relumed hands really bring the dial out more.

What made the hands badly relumed? can you point out what you see and what to look out for.
It's either my age or my lack of knowledge but cant really see the difference.
I can see that there is a slight difference in the shade of the new lume which is a bit darker and matches the shade of the numbers
a tad better.

The ‘before’ photo doesn’t show it too well, but the hands were quite green and some lume parts weren’t fully attached to the hands itself anymore. Also, under uv-light the hands and dial emitted a totally different shade of light.

Just picked this one up, a tre-tacche, dial isnt perfect, and non running, but on GF Bamboo bracelet, and looks original to me. Also very similar to an Omega I have from the same year (1937).

Shame about the scratches on the back from a clumsy watchmaker. Apologies for the terrible phone-photographs.

Congrats! 👍 Happy for you.

Just picked up this 23m. Possibly a little small for me but I love the look of it.
