I won the bid

Oct 06, 2021,21:09 PM
 

So my second new watch this year is coming in 3 to 12 days.
The seller is in Munich Germany, and would message the auction site when the watch come to me.
My first independent and skeleton as well.


My first thought about a skeleton was a Tissot skeleton.
I chose Roamer because they were popular in the fifties and sixties. A typical flee market watch brand, makes it for me nostalgic.
I have still the desire to put an Universal Geneva to my collection, all to get the pre quartz crisis vibe.

I look forward to my new watch, just won an auction bid. It’s a fun watch, so no luxury peace. The brand was a victim of the quartz crisis. I always have a bond with 50ties and 60ties watches, so this was obligated to acquire, expensive or cheap doesn’t m...
