Secret code in a watch

美国国家历史博物馆周二揭开了一个埋藏148年的“秘密”，前总统林肯留下的怀表内原来刻有一则深具历史意义的简短信息。

由当时修理怀表的表匠Jonathan Dillon于1861年4月13日刻下的信息说，“桑特堡遭到叛军攻击”，但“感谢上帝，我们有政府”。

Vintage watches

Collecting vintage watches is really a joy as one can literally use the item everyday without much troubles.

Sports Watches

This evening, I took out my sports watches for spring cleaning. I must really find some time to learn how to take photos as the there are so much reflections.

Prince Oyster Prince Ranger - Ref 90220

The Tudor Oyster Prince ranger Ref 90220 looks like the Rolex 1016 except that the size is one size smaller. Price wise the Tudor Prince ranger is much cheaper making it a good value for money buy..

Graham

Nice watch!

Ulysse Nardin Chronograph

This is another lovely 1940-50s vintage chronograph..

Lecoultre

Men's Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox c. 1960s. This was one of the first wrist-watches to be produced that offered an alarm. Black dial with applied arabic hours, dauphin hands and centre seconds. The inner disc rotates the arrow marker for the alarm. Luminous material in the hands and at the hours. Original steel case with plexi glass is in very good condition. Automatic movement by JLC with crown at 4 o'clock for time and date adjustment. Crown at 2 o'clock to wind-up and set the alarm.

My love for vintage watches continue to deepen as I began to take out the many of my watches from the safe. As part of my streamlining exercise, I have began to let go some in ebay..

Rolex Red Submariner ref 1680

After months of waiting, my ordered Rolex submariner bracelet has finally arrived from Switzerland! Even though the costs of the bracelet is expensive, the positive aspect is that it has given the Rolex Submriner its "birth certificate" and paper of authenticity and records. Now, the watch serial nos, model nos is registered in the Rolex center system.
