Some Sunday Lemania 15 TL Delight.

Apr 18, 2021,01:52 AM

A Lemania I should have grabbed, when I was given the opportunity some years ago.

37 mm case, great " taupe " dial, olive pushers, nice patina and great movement.

Aren't these vintage marvelous?

Best,

Nicolas

What a cool patina! You must kick your a... when you think of it! You should have ask her advice to smart Julie she would have tell you to take it or... wisely she would have taken it for herself 🤣🤣.

Well, she wasn't into watches, when I saw this one. ;)

In that case you can only blame yourself my friend 😉

Indeed it’s a pity what a nice patina!

Absolutely. Remorses watches...

Fantastic calibre 15TL used by Omega, Lemania and Tissot in the grand period of 1940s-50s especially. Thanks for sharing, Nicolas!

Yes, the golden era. And yes, Lemania made some great ones. I will try to feed that topic, from time to time.

We could all tell stories my friend about the one, or ones that got away. Lol Best , Mike

That's the magic of these vintage watches.

You don't see many of these! Darren

Indeed. Everyone's after the Speedie. They should pay more interest to these!

By: amanico : April 18th, 2021-14:14

You have passed on more great watches than most have ever even seen!

I am lucky to know some great collectors, and some of them being friends, yes.

So beautiful Nico, really love the mixture of colors and proportions on the dial.

Indeed, Brandon. I really hope to find one like this, in a close future. A marvel.
