Stefan!
This is a fairly rare model, I've only seen one similar before and it was a German watchdealer had one for sale. I have researched and received information from a person named Jean Neef in Germany who have extensive knowledge of the old Glashüttewatches According to him, this is an export model from the former GDR, and therefore called it Original. It has a GUB movement.
Ca 1960
I enclose a few photos

happy happy for this Friday...
... this Thursday evening here, i attended a JLC SIHH preview... finally managed to see and try many beautiful timepieces, of course including three models that i like most, i.e. Reverso TT 1931, DSA and MUT Moon. luckily took a wrist shot for this superb...
Friday!!! Just ended the last day of Chinese New Year.
LLD on Nato PS: Graham, thanks for the hookup with this wonderful strap. I love it alot Best Tyler...
Cheers. This cordovan leather
... is really something. It is so soft like lambskin but durable like cow. Do you have any experience with these? Best Tyler
What's wrong with lamb, cow and horse? Is there something we don't know? [nt]

Tyler. you are really ahead of me...
.... i remember you was putting another Nato strap for your LLD.. then i wen to look for similar one for my LLD too. now you got another nicer one... can't catch up from you :-( by the way, this strap also looks very nice for your LLD on your wrist. well ...
my pleasure Tyler. they are so supple that you dont know your wearing it
it should become the 'purists' nato strap of choice. the black looks good on the LLD G
You're right. I'm like a woman excited over her boots.
Gotta go get me some brown ones Best Tyler
BTW there's a better way of wearing it so the buckle is under the wrist
i dont like the buckle and extra strapping on the side so i've devised a way to wear it that cures the problem. hard to explain, but effectively you dont put the strap through the spare bit with the loop on, you turn that back on itself so it next to the ...
Sporty but elegant
Nice picture. You have encouraged me to get out my only white-dialed watch, a Mark XV from IWC, and wear it with crisp white shirt and jeans this weekend. Thanks! Andrew
The Reverso wrist shot (very nice) jogged my memory
of a static shot I promised to send to Nicolas, from our time at SIHH. A not often seen Le Coultre with the Memovox alarm. This watch has been repaired several times, still running strong. I actually do not know the date of manufacture, a real work horse....
Roman numbers…
We have discussed Roman numbers over at JLC Forum this week. Please feel free to join in with yours! BTW, one I would love to add to my watch box… HAGWE Blomman
Very tasty, Tim!
That piece is a real winner -- must be great fun to wear, especially when that alarm goes off... Best, Gary G
Thanks Gary, a great "nap" watch on the plane or the bus in Asia
when your iPhone got wet! Hope you are warm and Happy this weekend. Best, Tim
like your Memo... very example with Roman numerals indices!
thanks for sharing. stefan
Thanks. Beautiful and useful and it was a gift from
long ago. A true keeper. Best, Tim
nothing controversial this week....yet
i love to take random pics of the watches i am wearing whilst having a cuppa. gives me time to reflect on time pieces new and old worn that day, and its relevance to my current collection, and refreshes my memory on its acquisition and for me to once agai...
I can see the Antigua is going have a lot more food shot :)
Congratulation. If you swap the Antigua with the Classics. You have 2 classics. A watch and a kopi. Best Tyler
Nothing controversial?
Perhaps not, but a VH Antiqua perched precariously across a mutton curry is rather frightening! Another superb watch. On my list since 2004, although I'm not sure I would actually wear it regularly and my taste has shifted away from exotica and 'statement...
I last dunked a VC into a hot cuppa, whilst attempting a shot.
I swear there is still a whiff of coffee whenever I wear it. Best, Horo
what a fabuous watch
I would not get it near a cup of hot fluid - good for you! Best Andreas
I was sweating over the curry and worry over the watch.
Have a great weekend. Best, Horo
simple elegance...
it has a "sweet girl next door" feel to it. let me know if you are keen,maybe do a group purchase? best, Horo
So, Stefan – what did you think about…
The novelties?! I wish they would come my way to show them… I just have to wait until JLC starts to ship them. The TT 1931 looks great on you! Your next Reverso? HAGWE Blomman
I am very interested to hear about the TT1931 too ...
... particularly the size and proportions. Have JLC got it right for the 'modern' world? Andrew This message has been edited by AndrewD on 2011-02-18 02:33:50
Same watch for me, for the last 10 days...
A long love story with this Sonata: Best, Nicolas....
Well, I'd say that the Queen of Alarms would be the Memo.
The most original being this one. Best, Nicolas.
Like coming back to your spouse after a long business trip.
Do you use it to wake you up in the morning? I have been doing it with my MMI Best Tyler
Of course I do ...
And I take it each time I go for holidays too. A delicious watch, which is a friendly companion when you travel with. Best, Nicolas.
Such a fascinating watch ...
I have to ask ... does the GMT function also change the count down on the alarm?
This crisp white look has caught my eye today
Looks great and shows off my other favorite horological finish: blued hands. And what hands they are on the Sonata! Lovely. Andrew
Can't get rid of it.
Can you imagine? 7 years of common life, in 4 months! Looks like it is a keeper. Thanks, Andrew. Nicolas.
Lovely Nico
First time I've seen this watch. Some wonderful looking complictaions there. HAGWE
The sonata is the queen of all alarm watches...
It sounds like a minute repeater and offers a big date ( which can be set forward and backward ), a GMT, an Alarm on 24 hours, and the alarm countdown... A crazy watch, indeed. Best, And thanks. Nicolas;
So....
I assume that the King has two queens... the Memo and the Sonata.... lol cheers
To me she is more like ...
a diva at the opera: exceptional voice, but the appearance is (quite often) not everybodys taste If I would be an Ultra-HNWI, I would buy it immediately - just because of the pleasure of listening
LOL, But well said, Oliver. That must be the issue when
The watch ( as the Diva ) has a too strong personality? Best, Nicolas.
great watch, Nico...
... have not had chance to hear what sounds of this watch produce... but from the dial, am sure it must be top quality!!! stefan
Old beater in blue..!
Have been talking a lot about blue stuff lately… Felt so guilty for my old beater that I decided to dress her up in blue! BTW, anybody recognize the blue ball? HAGWE Blomman...
I almost got that one.
Curious little thing. I have a hard time believing it will work. Bought a metal case opener instead. Does it have lifespan? Best Tyler
The ball works very well!
But you have to be very careful, if any dirt on the ball – it might scratch the case back… HAGWE Blomman
Nice piece mate
The straps are quite eye catching too. And you chose this over the DSA!! Btw, a comment you made just struck me....you chose this watch on thurs evening, for Friday wearing? That demonstrates careful wardrobe planning. I am rather haphazard....unless ther...
Well, Horo…
Thank you! Considering my “watch week” it felt natural to go with the Memo Compressor… Mo – TT Polaris 68 Tu – vintage Polaris 65 (LC) We – TT Polaris 65 Th – vintage DSA (JLC) FR – MCM I do try to plan one ...
Yes, the blue strap…
Is one of my favourite combos. The only colour that beats this IMO is red..! Thank you, Respo! Best Blomman
like your blue leather strap...
... it makes me to source some more blue straps for my blue collection too...LOL. stefan
Should I stop participating?
I have become a horological boring old f..t. I am more than happy to wear the 5513 in most situations. Even my kids recognise it as 'dad's watch' which I really like. It gives it some meaning and life and it's not just part of a big collection. Anyway, I ...
Me too...wearing the last few batches of the acrylic Sub
Still runs within COSC spec....though the watch is not rated as one....
My 5513 doesn't know any better ...
On my wrist this week it is within 4 seconds of where I set it last Friday. That's a particularly good performance, although it's never out by more than 10-15 seconds in a week. Superb for a 44 year old mechanism. A
Andrew, I know how you feel. I have been wearing this one every day for the last month.
But I am waiting for something special from my watch maker!!!! Julian...
For sure it will be ...
"something special", because it belongs to you. The shown Rolex isn´t bad either, so at least we can wait
How can one tire of that....One thing I notice about rolex wearing
It's the default choice if one is too lazy to think of what to wear. It's like a trusty old screwdriver, when one is lazy to hook up all the new electrical screwdrivers to the sockets and spend hours pouring over the manuals...one just reach out to the ol...
It really is the archetypal tool watch ...
... and probably looks great even when it's rusty! A
for rolex, even if there is ever rust on case and bracelet.it will be termed case platina
I haven't worn my 1675 for sometime now, you have given me impetus to wear it tonight! Best, Horo
I don't get tired of looking at it!
In fact I am now starting to look for one myself - and I used to dislike Rolex! HAGWE Andreas
Thanks! And the Rolex was 'born' the same year as ...
... their mum. So they thinks it's REALLY old. LOL Hopefully Son #1 will cherish it for the memories it contains one day. The F.P.Journe Octa RdM was 'born' the same year as Son #2, and he seems to have an affinity for that piece. So there's the horologic...
powerful shot of your 5513...
... like your pic... it displays the powerful side of this superb Rolex vintage. my dream watch also, will get it one day! stefan
I hope you do, Stefan.
The best horological decision I ever made. It just took me too long to make it. Andrew
Very sweet:)
Next week. I'll have a chance to see the SIHH novelties in metal. Can wait My guess this will be the purchase of 2011? Best Tyler
post us some pics after attending...
.. and tell me what do you think all these novelties. stefan
superb piece Stefan!
While I'm gonnaa be wearing these two... Yes two watches! HAGWE Sam...
