Hamilton Fontainebleau Chronomatic Caliber 11 - A rare watch, here at Watchprosite

Team, I decided to dip into the “rusty” (a.k.a. “vintage”) watches pond, when I saw this watch on the “block”. I don’t normally do vintage because of the amount of frustration that may result when a nice piece stays forever on my watchmaker waiting for a ...

Since those watch sites cones and go, I normally download interesting articles and drop those on my local cloud, that\'s deserves a better organization. Those folders are indexed by Mac OS Spotlight making my research faster and simple. Better than Google... 

thanks for mentioning this Goldenlutin!

The other was a Countdown GMT, but the seller was unsure if he want to sell it. (Picture from Internet, before one complains) Mega funky, isn\'t? Cheers, Nilo ...  

Even cooler!

Nilomis, the fact that a picture is on your hard drive does'nt mean it's yours. Pictures of the advertisement, patent and mouvement are mine and are used without permission. They were prepared only for publication by Monochrome. Please remove them from yo... 

Done

Love the funky 70s design and the unconventional appeal - curious if more vintage pieces will enter your collection Now let\'s hope your watchmaker doesn\'t take too long, so it can quickly enter your regular rotation!
