A watch I've always wanted, but put off buying for years. Finally got one! 1937 Gruen Curvex with the 330 movement, 48mm. Redial but watch is super clean and restored. The only downside was that the caseback/movement had detached from the upper case in sh...  

Congratulations! This is a mighty fine vintage piece! Enjoy your new watch, and have a great holiday weekend! Cheers, Daos

This is one I've wanted for a while. Think I got the hands aligned properly, too. Happy 4th!

Snak, am i missing something? a gruen curvex that looks exactly like a LUM-TEC? best Graham

You gotta be quick with the hand coding to edit posts here! Here's a shot I just took....  

thats more like it, a really nice classic, perhaps more suited to the female wrist in these modern times unless you like small watches. a great design best Graham

I was waiting for the Fedex guy to deliver this little baby.... A 1960 Speedmaster from the first owner......  

Jeff, that looks stunning and original which is rare for a watch of this age. a 2998 i believe, but with the pulsations bezel which is a bit of a rareity. looks like nothing needs doing to it at all. an excellent purchase, but what happened to your love o... 

I still have my two Daytonas....and now three Speedmasters 2998....I have to take a group shot someday ;-) HAGWE Jeff

Jeff, thats just being greedy :) how many are there left in the world? and you have 3!! at least they're in a safe place for the future. best Graham

Very nice! I don't know at all the Speeds, but this one is charming, with its special bezel. I'mù sure you will elaborate more on the dedicated forum! And what about your lovely SM 300? Still in work? Best, Nicolas

and yes, the SM300 is still undergoing some work... Cheers Jeff

Especially with that bezel. Good work!

Your new watch is a beauty! I'm excited to see a wristshot soon! Cheers, Daos

Thanks, Daos...I hope so too. Its going to take a while from what I gather. -Richard

Look at my wrist... It is the personal watch of Vaucher Manufacture's general manager, Mr. Florian Serex. And now the best part of it : guess who has taken those pictures ? ? ? Michel Parmigiani himself !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm currently in Montreux, Switzerland...

Pretty amazing stuff! Thanks for the photos, and looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your adventures in Montreux! Cheers, Daos

Be prepared to see much more... Cheers, Emmanuel

My faithful Panerai and my 1980 5513. Hope you have a great weekend, Daos. Catch you soon, Alex...  

Wow, Your 5513 is superb! Best, Nicolas

Both are great watches! I'd have a hard time choosing! Panerai and Rolex (along with JLC and GO) are all high on the list of possible targets for purchase in 2010. I love your strap choices too! Cheers, Daos
