Vintage Watch Forums

So, I just checked and there are 3D printers that use 14K gold for the material. Or, they can use the model to make a metal casting and then plate it. Send the company a model, they give you an estimate. It would be awesome for watch case parts. https://www.shapeways.com/materials/ That is awesome....

Turns of what?

All these Vantage ads and crazy watches are making me wish I had been around for the late '60s and early '70s. Pretty wild, swingin' stuff.

I'm now getting mixed results clicking on the "see original listing" link. Sometimes it takes me to the original listing, other times it takes me to similar items.

I'd go a little earlier than that, but not around 1900. Why is it that we believe the watch is older than 1918? To my eyes, it looks like it could be from around then, or later, but not much earlier.

Even knowing next to nothing about WWII military watches, the quality of the engraving alone would be enough to make me run.

Beautiful. Thanks for washing away the horror of Stales's modern monstrosity with a classic.

If I'm learning from JerryT correctly, I think that movement uses a Roskopf pin-pallet escapement. Not that I really unedrstand that, but they seem to have a unique look.

The eBay bracelet is gone already!

Sorry, should have PM'd it to you. It had been there for a while until I posted that link.
