Not mine but borrowing from a friend.

Same two today that I posted recently. Two “rescues”. My 1964 Accutron, assembled out of bits and pieces, and my mid 1950s caliber 351 Omega Seamaster. Likewise also assembled out of bits and pieces. With as much good stuff as I keep in the vault, you might wonder why I persist in wearing such watches. Folks generally love mongrels as much as they do purebreds. I’m that way with watches. In the hands of many, both of these might have remained in the parts bin where I uncovered them. Or perhaps even ending up in a landfill somewhere. Both of these are more than simply watches. They are “conquests”.

How cool is this retro GUB Spezimatic ??? ....for $210 off the ‘bay. Check out the brushed steel case with the sharp angles. And that ink black dial contrasted against the numerals. The “people’s watch” indeed.

Morning glory:

1950 Longines cal.22A in 14k. Their first automatic caliber, and one of my first Longines acquisitions (from the Squirrel 😀).

Earlier photo. The case and dial on this one are irresistible to me!

WOW what a dial and those indices are killer......
