The easter holidays are getting me into cheritable mood, so all the poor examples get some attention. 😁

Should get the dial straightened up some day, but you know how it is...

For holy Saturday figured I’d break out the IWC. Thanks again to @redpcar for helping me save this as it was literally minutes from going in the bin after the gold scrappers got their hands on it. Took damn near a year but well worth it

Lovely weather calls for a Speedy... well, I have not had anything else in my wrist for two months, so any further excuse is valid for me. 😁

Beautiful Speedy with that lovely strap! What is the source?

Enjoy the Sun, BR

Thank you for the kind words.

The strap was crafted by @jankoxxx , you can check his stock on Watchstrapheaven.com or on his instagram @watchstrapheaven.

Really great stuff 👍 enjoying the heck out of this strap. Perfect size for a Speedy.

I’m holding this one for a friend while he decides whether to buy it or not. I should know in ten days or so. In the meantime, I am oh so tempted to buy it myself. This is a fairly scarce 16-size, 21-jewel, Hamilton grade 994. Hamilton made this watch in pendant set and lever set, and they only made about 1,100 of them in total. Perfect double-sunk vitreous enamel dial, gold train wheels, gold jewel settings and balance screws, lever set, perfect Hamilton marked swing ring case. Circa 1914. It is closely related to the Hamilton grade 952 (19-jewels), and the grade 950 (23-jewels). This is the only Hamilton I have ever seen with this unusual damask finish. Can you blame me for wearing it today?
