Speedmaster Professional - Moon Watch

 

 

 

1957 Rolex Oyster Prescision - Officially Certified Chronometer

 Vintage high quality timepiece.  1957 6284 ROLEX

The back reads:  To S.T. Wicks from Compton's Staff June 1957

This is what it looked like when I got it.  Who knows where it had been over the years.  But, the movement holder was missing, the stem was broken, it needed a new crystal and the dial was dingy.  It cost about $2,000 for repairs and for the dial to be refreshed and a new crystal.

2019 Bulova Devil Diver Snorkel

 Over the last few years Bulova has produced modern versions of the classic models that have become collectable/popular.

This is the first one I bought.  I like the weight and quality construction.  It has an automatic movement and at about $500-$600 new, I think this was a good value.

I bought this one too.  These are affordable quality watches.

Certina DS 'turtle' - Automatic

Here is a watch from my collection.

This one is a Certina DS from the late 1970s.  The dial has a great patina and I am trying to decide if I should polish the case or not.
Probably not. It seems disrespectful.  Most of these require some tinkering and oil.  It is pretty rewarding to get something this complicated moving again.  This one keeps excellent time.

Dan Henry Watch 1970 - Automatic

Here is a watch from my collection.

This one is a modern Dan Henry.  This one is a diver based on a Seiko movement.  It has a compressor style case.  Although I really prefer vintage and Swiss, I really liked the back.  I think that the difference between craftsmanship and just production is in the details.  The back shouldn't just be 'the back' on a watch or on jewelry.

Compressor Case with wonderful details.

These are from the sales catalogue.

Screw down for the movement.

The strap is very comfortable.  I'm unsure of the material, but I usually don't like rubber straps.
