A pair of “unusual lugs” Compurs that have recently arrived. ☺️

 

Oh wow!

 

22289 pre 1945

 

I have a soft spot for these two tone dials.

 

Ooh, dibs on the one on the right- I think I saw it on sale and found it very tempting

Well, my UG is not a watch, it’s an old magazine advert from 1946.

 

My $3 (USD) Thrift Store find from yesterday (runs!). NOS crystal already ordered. Appears to be a reference 20505, caliber 267 from 1945. I haven't been able to discover much about it so far, but would be interested in any info folks have about it. Needs a good cleaning/service and a proper band and it'll be on my wrist.

 

Nicely, nicely.

 

This is in the Outdoorsman line, I think.... it will clean up well.

 

Thanks for the info Larry, I'll dig in more and see what I find.
