This just showed up in today's mail!
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 shipping, and the hands were slightly bent (minute hit hour hand).
Think it's okay now after gentle tweaking, but will need to monitor how the hands cycle. Have been wearing it less than an hour, now.

Happy Friday!
I'm going to goof off all day since the office is closed in observance of Independence Day in the US. Here's what I'll be wearing this Friday... Happy 4th of July on Saturday to the Americans amongst us! HAGWE! Daos This message has been edited by dxboon ...
Wish you a Great Independance Day, my Friends!
Here's my contribution to this special Friday. Best, Nicolas...
this new oldie
This recent addition. I suspect it will be the case for a while Have a good weekend...
Great combination of colors on that dial
There have been some really attractive vintage examples shown in photos on this site. Your watch is certainly one of those. Cheers, Daos
Another great Seiko!
This is a classic! I think Seikos are underappreciated, especially in America. Thanks for sharing your photo! Cheers, Daos
Kind...
Thanks...dxboon...for u kind words... Just a cheep collections...BUT I LIKE IT...lol... Best Chung
Nice one!
I don't often see Panerais on bracelets, so it's a nice change of pace! Cheers, Daos
seems to be a day for Panerai amongst others so I will add mine
This is a very new addition to my collection PAM 233, but its unusual and I do like to wind my watches, even if its every 8 days cheers benio, and a happy 4th from Australia Paneerai PAM 233...
Oooh, I love this watch!
PAM 36? Tobacco dials are my favorite! It goes perfectly with your strap choice. Sometimes, I think I need to buy a Panerai just so I can accessorize it with straps. I suppose that's not surprising, as women are notorious when it comes to collecting acces...
And You helped France to get our Freedom
In a very bad era for us... Back to the watch, yes, this is the infamous Pam 36, the only Titanium / Brown Dial / Tritium indexes. A Cult watch for every Panerai Lover... And proud to still own it. Yes, playing with straps on Pannies is great but I guess ...
A special watch for a special day, indeed!
HI hermano!. This watch is a Hit, impressive!. HAGWEE Emilio
Thanks,Emilio
I don't wear it very often, but each time I do is a great pleasure. Yes, I agree...One of the nicest Pannies! Best, Nicolas
Excellent choice for Liberté Nicolas!
Come celebrate with your American friends! HAGWE -- Richard.
Thanks, Richard
Yes, I should make my first trip to USA ( !!! ) quite soon... And meet you all! Have a great day, today. Best, Nicolas
In solidarity...
...with the good Dr Ting (hopefully) and the rest of you former colonials who ruined shiploads of perfectly good tea, the evening will be spent disporting stars, stripes, red, white, blue and - errrr - gold. You have your independence (congratulations) - ...
i was going to wear a Wittnauer in honour of your independence
but i didnt. MIH for me. old pic. have good celebrations over the pond. Graham...
Sober, superb, magic, Graham. Will have to get one, as
An Oeschlin fan I am! Best, Nicolas
Nicolas, i believe they still...
Nicolas, i believe they still have some from the last issue, but if not there will be another release in March/april. if you change straps as i expect you will, go for a 22/22 as you can use the original buckle on the new strap. while the tennis is on i m...
Nicolas, a new strap for the MIH after 10 minutes, what do you think?
i'm think i like it, its different and shows that the MIH suits all kinds of strap. for most use the black is still king. Graham...
Agreed, Graham
Surprisingly, you have a wide choice of straps which work on this watch. Still, I think that a simple strap, as the first you posted, works better on this watch, as to enhance its very strong personality, IMO.... Best, my lucky friend. Nicolas
Geo, if this comment was...
Geo, if this comment was directed at me then i feel honoured in view the incredible collection you have yourself. if it wasnt then i feel honoured on behalf of the person it was directed at :) best Graham
Thanks, Pplater!
Does grilling hotdogs count as something useful? LOL! Your watch has one of the most beautiful dials of all time. HAGWE! Daos
Nice choice ! Unfortunately the J*D was not chosen this
year, as it was on my wrist for the past two years on the 4th. I took this celebration literally this year A Trio of independence, The Gerber today, the VH tomorrow, and the TP for Sunday. Hope all is well, Mike...
Well played, Mike!
Independents for independence! Lovely timepieces, good sir. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Daos
That's how I like it!
Thanks, Patrice, for these water pics! I'm impatient to do the same with mine, this summer. Best, Nicolas
That is what I wanted to see...
...A Pola playinjg in the water. Is that a tropic strap on the '65? Thanks for posting those photos. respo
Fabulous photo, Davo!
I love how you incorporated color into the background! Lovely AP too! Have a great weekend! Daos
While at a job site....
Hi Everyone... I will be wearing my Longines this weekend , I added a vintage style mesh band, ends are spring loaded from 17.5 mm to 22 mm, the band is 17.5. For the summer it is very comfortable as opposed to the OEM band. But getting back to the photo....
Two is better than one!
A photo of one nice watch is fun, but two is even better! Enjoy the weekend! Daos
Tired...
At work, big party yesterday, I have to finish a logotype without my brain, so full stell :...
I like...
...that you can wear shorts and flips to work! I wish I could! At least you have your Rolex to help inspire you during the day! Daos
My new Chronograph, especially for Independence Day
Have a good weekend all of you. GEO...
Aaah, Geo, your first WS with this one!
Very elegant, my friend. Can't wait for the pic of the 2 monopushers side by side, when you get it back from service... Best, Nicolas
Great photo, Geo!
You've captured the beauty of the blued hands very nicely. What a skyline. If this were the view from my office I don't think I'd be quite as productive! Cheers, Daos
The more I see of this...
...watch, the more I like it! Enjoy your weekend! Cheers, Daos
thank you....
one has to have some surprises lol Have a great weekend my friend Cheers
And I thought it was a Cricket
You caught me! Very nice Pannie, Pink Panther! Enjoy your WE. Nicolas
HAGWE, PinkPanther!
From the photo, it looks like you and your Panerai will be enjoying a nice, sunny day together! Cheers, Daos
After a whole week...
of continuous tropical rain, it was a nice change to see the colour of the sun... enjoy the 4th sister Cheers
Very nice!
I always enjoy these Omegas. Your shirt looks very handsome as well (from what I can see of the sleeve!). Cheers, Daos
Great watch, Ryan
There is always someone to remind me this one... Strange! With the Nato, the Combo is perfect, IMO. The only problem of this watch is that, while the case looks bigger and thicker, the size of the bracelet didn't move, which looks strange, but with the Na...
Sweet!
I like these DLC'd GMT Master IIs. You've got it on the perfect NATO as well. Very stealthy. Cheers, Daos
So Simple Seiko
The watch with one of the best price/quality ratio's in the world; Seiko 5 Have a good weekend! Regards Mark...
Nice Seiko mark. i like...
Nice Seiko mark. i like the daye positioning, a bit like the 60's model whose name i forget. Seiko are a bit of a stealth brand. most 'people' view them as cheap, but they are virtually unbreakable and for a teenager or someone with a manual job its one o...
I've never seen one with a day display like this...
...is it a current model Seiko 5? I am a fan as well, and have one of the PVD'd models originally made for the Japanese market. Cheers, Daos
It's great..
I bought it about two years ago. It's the coolest thing.. All days of the week are black, but SATURDAY is blue and SUNDAY is red. How awesome is that ?! Okay -- perhaps I am easily entertained Regards Mark
Don't worry! I am entertained by things like that too!
I tend to wear my Seiko 5 on the weekend so I can experience seeing the Sunday display in red (the rest of the week is in black font). It's the little things! Cheers, Daos
Happy 4th, Citizen Daos!
The Longines is looking good! I'm channeling Ralph Waldo Emerson this morning: By the rude bridge, that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot, heard 'round the world. (Or somethi...
Thanks, and happy 4th, Jed!
I see you are sporting your trusty pink, I mean, salmon Datejust. Check out the VC forum. Bill posted some good pix of the VC Patrimony Contemporaine. I was hoping you might be able to share new pix of your VC. I found one of the old photos to share with ...
Very handsome watches!
I love the clean, elegant dials! Thanks for sharing your photo! Cheers, Daos
As well as...
...what look to be lovely pink impatiens in the background? I love the dial on your vintage VC! Cheers, Daos
Yes, the flowers are impatiens. They provide a nice backdrop....
Daos, thanks for noticing the details in addition to the main attraction! tempusfugit This message has been edited by tempusfugit on 2009-07-05 08:21:32
Late breakfast of strawberries and coffee . . .
. . . and an Omega AT Teck annual calendar on my wrist . . . . . . all set for a day of hangin' out with some of my fellow watch aficionados . . . cordially, Art...
Art, are you ready to...
Art, are you ready to share with us how the AT is working out, accuracy, speed of date change etc. best Graham
I'm in the midst of preparing a review . . .
. . . but I'll share one tidbit now: the end-of-month change from June 30th to July 1st took place in the space of time between focusing on the watch and pushing the start button - I missed the changeover by a second! Cordially, Art
Fun!
Having the day off is fun, but having friends to share it with is even better! That AT looks good on your wrist. Enjoy your weekend! Daos
Didn't know this one, Art
Are you hiding us some of your treasures??? Good appetite, my friend. Nicolas
I wish it was my treasure, Nicolas . . .
. . . this one is on loan from Omega US for review, which is in the works . . . cordially, Art
Oooh, FX!
Where'd you get this gorgeous strap? Can you please PM me with details? Lovely combo of strap and Radiomir! Cheers, Daos
