I fear this will be another heartbreaking WristScan! :) Here is my very first vintage watch: Omega 2494 from the early 1950's. I got it in a secondhand store many years ago because I wanted to have a Omega Seamaster, same as my father had when I was a boy...
In Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Sometime between 1963 and 1969 the watch traveled 1338 kilometers north to Karlstad, Sweden. Delivered to AD Norrstrands Ur. On the 24th of May 1969 the watch were sold and started its journey towards the capital of Sweden. I...
Always like that GP-"bending" of the cases; also the red 12 is a cute accent.. Nice to have friends like this ! - if he needs another GP-recipient, for fulfilled targets, let me know !! Best, hs
... but the 1963 Ingenieur is a killer! I specially love this one! It got such a character! A charming watch, one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing it here! HAGWE! Cordial regards, Abel
One of my absolute favs of IWC.. - Classic purity !.. Still a tool, but with an effortless harmony & solemn appeal, somehow... Unfortunately I missed one nice one ( + B+P !), some 18 months ago, as I had another nice, but costly project; Still remember it...
A well kept secret since I am no Omega collector! ;) Oh, BTW, this reminds me. I need to put some Omega confessions online! Hope to find some time for this during the summer... Best Blomman
My wife "confiscates" all that I get: 1) She started with one that just looks vintage. An Omega Museum: 2) Then she took on her hands a 1946 (only based on the serial number of the movement) Zenith that my watchmaker rebuild 3) Next, a very nice funky mem...
I took before it was "hijacked". One more thing. She now is trying to tap on my watch budget. A dear friend states: "You created a monster". I'm enjoying. Cheers, Nilo ...
... though some times it is an "arma de doble filo" as we say here! Lol! I´m sure you are double enjoying your pieces sharing the wearing with your wife. In any case, she is generous enough to allow you to pohotograph your treasures on her wrist! :) Great...
As to your " giving up in total surrender" to your better half, maybe interesting to just remember that this E861 was introduced as a pure watch for men, with lots of versatility.. Here quickly just 2 pages, one from a JLC catalog (1970; credit Nico / Sca...
It is very tedious. It is like dying by a thousand slashes! Maybe just one or two little stacks? Hehehehe When you two have a GTG, you have to meet at the bank vault. I guess you shut the bank down? Always a joy to see all your goodies Hagwe Joe
Since you ask so nicely... ;) One stack for you, my friend! Lemania, Tg 195 - Swedish Military watch: Note, not all are mine, but all of them do belong to PuristS members! :) Best Blomman ...
As I just received from a fellow Purist, a VC 6107 Chronometre Royal from 1958, my very first vintage watch. I have lusted for ths model for several years. Last year my good friend and Purist here in PA got his. I was fortunate to try it on at our last GT...
Pls find here first below some pic Collage of my little Jaeger Chronograph ( with Valjoux 72), a piece I found luckily in Paris some 4 years ago ( time is flying !), and which I had almost "lost" there ; - however "mon petit Monsieur" luckily had been fou...
Hi All Thought I'd share this as its a new watch but old at the same time. Its from '68 so not sure if it counts as vintage. Still getting used to it - as its older than some, the size is a bit on the smaller sider, which is no bad thing :-) A couple of l...
At then end of a second day in a row of a 16 hour working day of non-stop meetings and with another one ahead tomorrow, so here is a quick photo of 3 vintage GPs from my collection. A manual wind Sea Hawk, a 1955 bronze patina from 1955 and a second gener...
