Horological Meandering

BY FAR!

Have a look at the Polaris value, you will see!

Even the Vulcain Nautical seems to bze much more expensive than the U.G and the Longines.

Since how many time didn't I see a Vintage Vulcain Nautical for sale? An Eternity.

I'd say that the U.G is more affordable rthan the Longines, though, but as always it all depends on the condition, and on the patina of the dial...

The early proto came in 1963: 50 pieces, then in 1965, but not in 1964.

Good news, no?

Best,

Nicolas.

I have sold a 'standard' bulova which was stamped '63, therefore I believe there were some produced during this year and possibly '64 too.

I don't have an archive for the other ones, but it could be interesting to open them and have a look. Will do if I find some time...

It ought to rate according to your criteria, no? From a manufacture frequently forgotten in discussions about divers, the ref. 3736, In house cal. 146, 42mm case, screw-back Super Compressor like the Polerouter Sub, not many like it....it also comes in a three-handed, two-crown version driven by a Zenith cal 25x2 P, and a couple of other color schemes....interested to hear your assessments

These vintage Zenith's can become habit forming. very nice.

This one is a bit too " Seventies " for me.

But it is just my taste, and to say it all, it is the very first time I see this one.

Amazing collection of Zeniths you have!

Best,

Nicolas.

...are evil for showing that photo!

The Sherpa OPS is my ultimate EPSA....I don't think anyone else used the crownguards?

I believe their version goes back to the late Fifties. I can't think of an inner rotating bezel diver before that?
I'd love to know if anyone else can?

...you mean you don't want several dozen EPSAs with AS movements and just a change of dial???

The Bulova would also fit the bill. Also with in-house movement. But far less known than the others as not frequently seen and not re-issued !

There are 2 Bulova Supercompressor.

A normal size (36mm), and a XL (42mm)

While the 'standard' can be found from times to times:

 

the XL is very very hard to come by

(Here the XL in front of the regular, hiding it almost completely due to size)

 

(Same shot, watches in reverse order)

 

(And the 2 with 2 XL cousins)

 

The Droz and the Bulova!

I was not aware that Bulova made in house movements, by the way.

If you ever sell one of these 2 beauties, give me a call first!

Nicolas.

And Clavi  is a kind of Mephisto.

I have good friends, here.

Best,

Nicolas

I'm with Nico, I want all the big ones.
See what you started with this thread Nico. :}

...with these pictures!    The Polerouter Sub is indeed one of the beauties of its era and genre.  Dual crown divers from the 60s!  Yes!  I dream about having a secret lair one day (like the Batcave or Fortress of Solitude) full of vintage dive watches.  Bwahahahahaha!
