Aquired from late relative so probably around 1950/60s. Omega fixo-Flex think it looks pretty lit.

How much would one set you back?
>>
>>11378676

tell me you got that shit serviced before letting it run. if not the parts are shaving metal filings into the case as we speak and you're ruining it.
>>
>>11378703
Oh no I got it serviced don't worry.

Its a late 60s Glashutte GUB Spezimatic cal. 74. Probably the most horologically significant watch you can buy for under 400- this one is well worn and it was only 150 in an ebay auction

had a pre-ww2 Vetta watch that my brother in laws grandfather stripped off a dead German at Monte Casino.

cant find an exact pic of it but it was very similar to pic related.

ended up selling it to a rare/vintage watch store in Lititz PA.

went back a few months after and he was selling it for 4x the amount he bought it from me for
>>
Does anyone know where I can get a ww2 era Soviet watch, has to be legit tho and 50s and 60s is cool too

That's collectors for you, I have a large collection of original Billy bunter comics and the only reason I didn't sell them to him is I knew that would happen.

What is the watch in this picture?

>>11380898
I dont know if I would have sold it personally, sounds like an amazing tale to tell and have attached to the watch.
