Pirate flag is new to me.



Better post something that needs an eye patch.

Jim, your Vulcain is beautiful.

And to all who have posted… incredible specimens.

This early 60s Lord Marvel is in unworn condition, and has a lug design that really shows off sharp edges.

This watch is far from pristine, but I've always felt the case was very well preserved.

My Dad's old CK2849-2SC. Never polished. The lugs still have the the original chamfers and look sharp. Also has a small dent on the case at 8 o'clock that hasn't been touched since the day it happened.

No chamfers on this case, so the sharpness is mainly visible through the sharp boundary between the original polished and brushed facets.

Thanks. Yeah, that one is from pretty early in my collecting journey. I really didn't know enough to buy it, but I got lucky.

You find surprisingly many 168.016 Constellations with very sharp cases...

Here on of my lastet pick-ups, did my best to catch those chamfers...

This one has been with me for awhile. The medallion still has a bit of the original antiquing.

A more recent purchase. Not much of a case to polish here.
