I have ordered some mesh to try them out, but until then: On the original bracelet. 😀

Where is the date Jeff?

Edit: Stupid me. First digit of the serial is year and second digit is month. Mine is therefore one month older than yours. 😉

Still enjoying my new (to me), 65 year old (approx.) Laco with a German made Durowe caliber 422, manual wind movement. Solved a problem with periodic stopping which I discovered was the result of worn bearings on the center wheel arbor. Now, all good. I love the dial.

October showers bring November flowers (and noxious weeds) in Arizona
Jealous! I haven't seen grass and flowers in almost a month, lol. Buried in snow here in the U.P Michigan area.

And I had to get my neighbor’s tree in the picture! Leaves will be on the ground pretty soon.

What a beauty...very similar to the hamilton chrono-Matic in fact they look identical please tell me more.....

Buren were partners with Heuer and Breitling in the development of the Chrono-Matics and made the base automatic movement. By 1969 after they were taken over by Hamilton they were making all the Hamiltons too. Buren signed chrono-matics are very scarce, I think this is only the second photo I have seen of one.

Jeff Stein did a good write-up of how these relationships worked http://www.onthedash.com/docs/Project99.html


I am wearing the Buren's sister today, although the photo was taken in summer.
