Found this today in an antique shop. I asked the lady if she minded me giving it a wind. She said, "No.". So, I did and it took right off. I told her I was trying to be more selective on my buys and this was smaller than I normally wear, but since any approximately 80 yr old watch that works impresses me I would buy it if it was still running on my way back by her shop, after my errands. I took a second and set the time and gave it a couple of extra winds before giving it back to her. 2 and a half hours later, when I got back to the shop, not only was the watch running, it had kept perfect time. Obviously, it came home with me. Just under $16 for an 80 year old trooper. I believe from quick online research it is a nickel case and a 6 jewel movement. It wears larger than its 30mm size. I am not sure if it is the cushion case shape or just my eye. Thanks for reading.

I’ve had this space stuff since I was a little kid. I still get a kick out of it.

It seems like @hotsauz just has an endless supply of gorgeous pieces. 🥰
The damage to the wallet is endless as well. Ha.

A beauty!🥰
I love the designs of Sarpaneva, a very interesting watchmaker with affordable prices for an independent.
Is the bracelet in the photo OEM?

Some nice vintage pieces showed up at our local get-together. Hopefully we can make it a regular occurrence.
