Lecoultre Shark E 2643 spotted in Stockholm
Last week was a really busy week for me...
Not only the GTG in Paris but also a small GTG here in Stockholm!
Always fun to meet a fellow collector in person and when he is accompanied by a beauty like this...!
The LeCoultre Shark E 2643!
Nice patina, WorldTime bezel…
Another marvel of the vintage JLC abyss!

Lecoultre Shark E 2643 spotted in Stockholm
Friends, Last week was a really busy week for me... Not only the GTG in Paris but also a small GTG here in Stockholm! Always fun to meet a fellow collector in person and when he is accompanied by a beauty like this...! The LeCoultre Shark E 2643! Nice pat...
That Shark is a Ref with great character !.. But not without charm..
Interestingly, originally it came with 3 possible bezel-inserts: Tachymeter, Diving type (10,20,30 etc) and the WT, which IMO, is the most attractive one. Another little tidbit of info is, that the Shark shares the same case with Breguet Type XXs, for a c...
Yes, the case shared by several...
Same case on the Lemania Viggen Chrono as well. You should share a dual shot with your Shark / Type XX! Best Blomman
Very cool watch! [nt]
It just hit me! When you go to GTGs you don't bring your rocks!
Sometimes I do! :)
But French custom are very suspicious if I would bring stones with me... Best Blomman
I understand completely.
Maybe Nico will lend you his stones the next time you visit.
Amazing watch beside its age and superb condition......
I find the naming of the cities on the bezel quite interesting, Stockholm and Geneva together with Rome and Paris, I had never seen this before. Furthermore, it seems that Singapore and Hong Kong show a different time while Jakarta and Singapore show the ...
It was at the end of the Sixties, and way before, my friend.
Look at some vintage Patek WTs, you have more than 24 cities. Best, François. Nicolas
Yes and it is more romantic this way, IMO. However it is the time zone which intrigues me.....
...as today and at least since I have been living in this part of the world, upside-down, Singapore and Hong Kong share the same time while Jakarta is 1 hour behind. The city dial on the watch shows differently. There must have been a time when the time z...
Indeed you're right
Singapore used to be GMT +7.5h, and Hong Kong +8. However, Singapore moved half an hour ahead to it's current GMT+8 back in 1982, and became synchronized with HK. And back to the watch... THAT is an awesome Shark indeed! ;-)
Another fun detail is "Island"!
Logical would be Reykavik... Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman
Yes, this is not logical, it is poetry and really wonderful! What a extraordinary watch!
Cheers my friend Francois
Never too late! :)
Yes, this one is a very cool watch - lucky owner for sure! Best Blomman
