This arrived today. Temporarily on a NATO but I think it needs a rattly jubilee. HAGWE.
Thanks Russ. Really excited. Silver dial OP seems to have been largely overlooked but it's an absolute cracker. Blew me away when I saw it in the flesh. The dial is stunning with changing tones from silver through to a rich champagne depending on the light. Think I'm right in saying it's the only steel Rolex to be produced with gold hands and indecies. Bit of a sleeper I'd say.

HAGWE.
Received this today. Had my eyes on this model on and off for 15 odd years. Only regret now that I didn’t pull the plug much earlier.

Is that from Montys in Dublin?
That is NOT a bicompax .

I had no idea that Cortebert were involved in early electric - always thought of them more as a pocket watch movement shop.
Very eclectic selection this week. Wimm will have his work cut out tabulating this little lot.

Wishing you all a great weekend

Thank you. The little pops of orange and the polished date wheel really set it off for me.
Unfortunately there is little mystery in the movement as it is a standard ESA Dynotron within. I have seen a number of different dials in the same case and a number of brands on those dials (I have a rather lovely champagne dialed Iaxa too).
You can always rely on me to lower the tone of a thread.
I have often thought of posting this watch; it has a tale to tell.
It is a beat-up old J Springs quartz diver.
I mentioned in a thread several years ago that I get through copious amounts of watches when working as a car repairer. They get hit, welded, immersed in a slipstream of grinding sparks, doused with noxious fluids, the full gamut of all that shouldn't happen to a watch.
Shortly afterwards I was sent this, free of charge. It was from a kind TZ member who had been using it for experimentation with reluming, an experiment that on this occasion ( a first attempt iirc) didn't achieve acceptable results. The kind member decided that it may as well end its days at the coalface. Very kind of him.
Quite possibly the worst ever photo of the worst ever condition watch in the entire history of the Friday thread, but every time I glance at it I think of the kindness it represents and it makes me smile.
Swopped out for my latest arrival.

Sinn 556i on blue leather. Had a bit of buyers remorse but wearing it again today really made me fall in love all over again.

Three Blancpain's in a single week, perhaps a record?
