Rolex bubblebacks

My favorite bubblebacks

Limited edition and tourbillon watches

These are the few limited edition watches

Titus Calypsomatic

I have not bought any vintage watches these few months. Instead, I have decided to do some restoration work. 

This is my second Titus, which is supposed to be used as spare parts for my first Titus. The first was Lost In mail as the buyer has change his mind and return me via post but he has not sent via registered mail, which is a huge mistake.

After several months of searching for parts, I have managed to find the parts to restore the watch as below:

Following which, I have found another Titus and I have manage to trade my French diver watch plus some cash top up for another Titus Calypsomatic. I have restored the bezel and I am now waiting for the crown and winding stem to arrive next week to complete my restoration.

I have managed to find a NOS beads of rice bracelet for the Titus

Olympia Orient weekly diver

I have been hunting for an Olympia Orient weekly diver for a while and I a month happy to find one. I am awaiting for the watch to arrive.

Return of the Rolex Bubbleback

The Rolex bubbleback has started to regain its popularity with the escalation of the Rolex sports models. For  the early watch collectors, many will know the historical importance of the bubbleback as it was the first fully functional automatic movement in a waterproof case. The variations in dials and caae combination are more interesting that playing with the sports watch bezels, ghost bezels, long E etc, which are print variations owing to different OEM factories producing the bezel inserts.

Grana military watch WW2

Grana WW2 German Army issued watch, c1940. The stainless-steel screw down case back is stamped with the German Army issue markings. The movement is the Kruth 321. The German issued version is larger, at approx. 34mm in diameter excluding the crown, than the issued ATP British version at 31mm in diameter excluding crown. Difficult to find in original condition and still relatively not expensive.

Vintage Rolex Milgauss, Turn O Graph, GMT, Trubeat
