A 1970s Slava “TV Style” Watch
This is a 1970-something Slava watch with a manual movement, 26 jewels, and a distinctive “TV style” dial. It was in pretty bad shape when I bought it, and it needed a lot of work and cleaning from my watchmaker.
A 1940s Cornavin Geneve Watch
This is a 1939-1941 Cornavin Geneve, manual winding with an Arogno 152 movement, 17 rubis, purchased toward the end of 2016.
A 1960s Guda-Matic Watch
This 1960s Guda-Matic watch with a distinctive dial design has a 30 jewel Omega 1481 automatic movement and a date function. The movement needed to be serviced, nothing too wrong with it, but the rotor wouldn’t charge the watch properly and it would stop while it was being worn. Now it seems to work okay.
A 1950s JW Benson Watch
This early 1950s J.W. Benson watch has a 16-jewel Smiths movement and a sub-second dial with Roman numerals. When I bought it, it was in pretty terrible shape, but with the help of my watchmaker, it now looks and works great.
