Earlier I've posted on OT that there will be three watches added to New Arrivals. Well my digital camera batteries are now charged and I am delighted in sharing with you some of my watches. The watch on the left image in stainless steel is my 1940 Mido Multifort 17 Jewel Hand Wound. The watch in the center is my Rolled Gold Plate Palomar from circa. 1944 which has a 17 Jewel Hand Wound Louvic Swiss Movement. Finally my 1964 first generation Caravelle by Bulova 17 Jewel Swiss Hand Wound Movement. Sit back and enjoy. Cheers, Simon Attachment: 1940 Mido Multifort ,1944 Palomar and 1964 Caravelle by Bulova.j.jpg (Downloaded 95 times) |

Thank you for the kind comments,ndburley. As I've wrote in OT,there are more watches that will be arriving at a later date. I am restoring the watches to their full working condition at the moment. Therefore, I am leaving the patina on the dial for originality. Cheers, Simon |

Hi Simon, love the new trio. I'm a lover of vintage as well. I have to start wearing some as they sit most of the time unworn. |

Very cool Simon!...Congrats on these great new Vintage arrivals!!! From your other post, it sounds like you are having a blast learning how to restore vintage movements.  Can't wait to catch a look at the 2 vintage Elgin's that you are still working on and the other 5 vintage pieces that you acquired...Vintage watches are still a very foreign area to me, as I know next to nothing about them...always fun reading your vintage insights there Simon. Hope your not missing your vintage Omega calibre 354 Seamaster that you traded for the "10" newby vintages too much. There are times when a WIS has to do what a WIS has to do I guess. Enjoy these newby Vintage pieces Simon!!! |

Thank you for the kind comments, Brice and Stew. I sell new watches for a living and collect vintage watches as a hobby. I thought of a challenge to save myself a bit of money by learning how to do simple repairs. I have worn each of the three watches to work,but nothing gets the compliments than my Palomar, with its knotted lugs. Once the two Elgins are completed I'll put together a photo on the New Arrivals for everyone to enjoy. Coming back to your comment,Stew about the Omega. I feel no sense of loss on the Omega,it was a timepiece that was just a bit too delicate to wear everyday to work. I mean,putting a scratch on the crystal or on the watch case, when opening up display cabinets was too unnerving for me. To me a watch or your favorite timepiece is a friend for life. Cheers, Simon |
