Best thing about having watches put away is you enjoy them all over again when they鈥檙e retrieved.

For many, because the gold plate has worn through on the tips of its lugs, this would be considered an undesirable watch.



On the other hand, I love it for its dial



I suspect that, despite the loss of plating, this watch led a sheltered life.



Oh, and warning: I did not take these pictures today, but I am wearing the watch today.

Just back from a pusher replacement. Sourced the part on Ebay and a local watchmaker repaired it overnight. All good finally.
Nice watch. So close to my Chronostop 145.009 calibre 865. Related?

Looks like a more user-friendly design than the usual bracelets made in the Philippines for the USA forces back in the day. Nice adjustments for sizing.


The ones made in the Philippines were custom made and so, designed for the individual.

These were designed to accommodate the widest possible sizing by the US Government, "one size fits all"

Wearing my Gemini IV Speedy to celebrate the successful splashdown of SpaceX's Dragon capsule today.

Oh Man that would really pop on a rivet oyster! Love stainless with gold markers and hands. Very 50's 60's snazz!

Thanks, trying to find a nice oyster for it eventually. Watch is from 1950/51 according to serial.

Vintage (1950s) Eberhard Extra-fort 18k rose gold monopusher column-wheel chronograph. Very happy that the gold case is in excellent condition, retaining the original brushed/polished surfaces almost all intact.
