the lugs are very nice, but dont sit with the military style dial
i dont know what it is, but i'm so used to seeing military dials in pretty plain cases that despite the beautiful lugs they look odd together as if the lugs are earlier than the dial.
i'm sure you know what i mean by this. 30's style lugs and 40's style dial despite the fact that i am sure they are original.
i bet the movement is a cracker. lol

Bringing the camera is a good thing, but forgetting the case opener is inexcusable.
I was invited to take some pictures of a few watches and among them, a revelation, a Gubelin. A superb case, whose dimensions are perfect for my wrist, and whose lugs make me think to some divine creations from Vacheron and Jaeger. The dial, the true soul...
You could have forgotten to pu the memory card in the camera...
Then it would have been a total disaster (talking from experience ;-) Cheers Andrew
Once, I pushed by accident on the memory card ...
When taking the battery out to charge it... I put the loaded battery, and took some pictures several days after... At the end of 6 pictures, a signal came: " Memory Card overloaded "... It was the internal card of the camera, which is selected by default....

Black dial / teardrop lugs...
I am a sucker for this kind of combination... Another example: I would love to see this dial with more conventional lugs, too. I am totally biased. As for the movemenr, thanks for your support! :) :) :) Best, my frend. Nicolas. ...

Even better! Best, my dear Scott. Nicolas

Of course, it needs skill and strength and provided you find tooth pick. Regards Ling

Rookie misstake! ;)
You know that when meeting and looking at watches... You will always want to look at the movement...! ;) Thank you for the exterior pics, my friend! It's abeautiful watch- love the lugs a lot! Best Blomman
Well, I was there to take a watch in picture, a watch which was not there.
Then I noticed a few other watches which were of interest... Then, i realized I didn't bring the case opener... There are days like these... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
An under appreciated brand
Gubelin seem to have made some fine watches in the mid century period. They used some good movements too, Felsa, AS Schild, as well eternamatics, which they rebranded as gubelinmatics or ipsomatics. A lot of the cases and dials seem to aged well, suggesti...
Super input, Conor.
I remember their version of the Memo Parking, too... Thanks for your valuable input. Best, Nicolas.
