FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted November 20, 2020 Wow, a Hanhart - truly impressed @Redfire1066. It is odd what children will obsess on sometimes, but I can understand this particular one, it's something adult that they're allowed to touch and control - well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought one as a gift, the person was very happy- they said. This Undone is mine- custom made after my daughter was born with her name on back, about $350 Beautiful Horween strap and keeps good time. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redfire1066 10,946 Posted November 21, 2020 @BravoDelta ,,,, your Sears looks fabulous BD . . . got my eye on a UBS one at the moment . .. there seems to be a never ending array of dials specifically printed for companies ... It's a great little hobby collecting these . .. often very good value and easy to work on too .. . and NOS movement parts, cases, glass and dials where mostly swapped in/out and mixed and matched in builds or purchases. The wee ones . .. . the youngsters just love these in there hand and it's always a laugh watching there latest time trial from model car racing, to peeling an orange or peddling there bicycle on a run ... happy days indeed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted November 21, 2020 Today, old PAM 050 with SS bracelet. A very underappreciated watch IMO. Early on became labeled as a "girlie watch" because it's only 40mm. The same Official size as the Beloved Submariner and GMTs. Especially on bracelet, it's a very substantial piece. I don't know for sure but probably weighs about 175 grams and is thicker than the sub by several mm. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
