Re: Vintage watches - my own heap
Many of those are lovely. The prices even more so. Good on ya for taking care of that watchmaker.

Re: Vintage watches - my own heap
These are indeed, very Tradly watches and very nice auction catalogue quality photos. There is nothing like a good vintage watch-or car.
I recall you also had a Longines gold repeater pocketwatch?

Re: Vintage watches - my own heap
Thanks - we have a pro photographer at work, so I pester her into photographing them as I wear them. The Longines Flagship I had to do myself, as you can see by the quality.
Have still got the Longines repeater pocketwatch- haven't got round to having it restored yet, and it's still got the crap chain. Also bought a thirties Alpina, very art deco, with an elongated rectangular steel case, that's being restored now. Will post photos when it's done.

Great story about reclaiming your family heirloom.
I have a lot of trouble finding watches that look right on my wrist too which is nearly 9 inches around.

What caliber is your Omega Speedmaster?
It is beautiful. I have a 1956 Omega that my father gave me that looks similar. Although my watch has no model name as the case was most likely made in America. (510 Caliber)
