Great collection!

In addition to Lemania movements I have tried to focus on older Chronographs with Valjoux 22/23 movements. i just fell in love with them years ago.

Thanks again

Nice! I'm partial to the Verde, but what is that rectangular watch to the right of the Rolex GMT?

and the cool thing is it's an automatic with a fairly high faceted crystal. It's one of my favorites. The Rotor is pretty loud, so you can really hear those ball bearings.

Thanks again

second from left in the front. It looks as if it is a silver case. Somebody should re-issue that! Fill us in on the history on some of them.

Amazing collection.
In the first picture: the bottem row, 2nd from the left, with the 'drivers' dial: what is it? love the look of that one!

is actually a Waltham. It has fixed Lugs, blued spade hands, and a porcelain dial.
It measures 32mm at its widest (12 to 6) point.

The entire case 'snaps' out of the bezel/crystal from the back.

What a wonderful collection! I was eyeing a Hamilton Sinclair like yours just yesterday on Ebay. I'm also a major chronograph nut, but have nothing like those.
I hope you continue to populate this forum with great photos and closeups, information and stories about those babies. I'll read 'em all.

believe it or not about 5 years ago I sold off the major part of my Vintage Collection to buy a Patek that 'I just had to have'. I'm sure you know the story............

Anyway, I'm glad I held onto my Val. 22/23's and several of my Venus movements.

It's great to be here. Thanks again.

...for a large Movado Cal. 95 chrono with a screw-back case by Baumgartner (the FB in a key hallmark seen below). Stunning watches and fine cases!
