Fifty three years in the fold and it has survived despite my ignorance of watches for most of that period and wearing it twenty four seven and most of that in manual labour with some attention only when it refused to keep time An evening outing is surely deserved
Wearing one of my restorations today, a Haussmann (German Jeweller) Valjoux 21 version 1 ca 1935. Strap hand made by Authur Liu of New York. I re-lumed the porcelain dial and blued the hands myself. I had the movement serviced. 18kt gold case:
Ya'll have seen this one once before in natural sunlight and with a gray suede strap. Now in the office after sundown and under LED lighting and with a royal blue perforated leather strap.
You're getting sprinkles on the watch. I need to dibs that one and you need to take good care of it, just in case.
