·Late '20s early '30 empire in Taubert/Borgel waterproof case....love the angular architecture of the case and lugs, and the metallic ring between the dial's minute and hour chapters....runs like a champ.

·RE the Empire waterproof
That is certainly a beautiful bit of engineering. Any back story on these watches ? Time period and marketing perhaps.
Looks like something Hemingway might chose to wear when at sea.

And these....? - can’t see what the flaws are supposed to be.
Below is one of my many less than perfect watch. As far as I know it is entirely correct, but it’s been polished and as you can see there’s plenty blemishes on the dial. Yet I enjoy wearing it a lot and the silver dial has a great sheen in real life — to which pictures simply don’t do justice.
