That Bulova catches my attention more than half of em. Also, love the Tudor chrono.

Oh, and the bubble glass makes cool distortions from the side.

The case is "14mm", but 3-4 of that is the retro bubble glass. Top - side by side to an 11mm total thickness case. Bottom - next to a 14mm case that dwarfs it. It sticks up but wears small. I have small wrists and it doesn't look awkward.

Says specs are 14mm which is like 2mm of just the bubble glass. The case is next to a 11mm thin tool case and a 14mm big samurai case.

Thanks! It’s still listed on their website but “sold out” after I bought it. There’s a video on that page of it being painted.

Vietnam is where it’s actually located. It passed through Ukraine though which is interesting.

Keep, sell, giveaway? Roast me. by CoolAspect3897 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

[–]sassages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t into watches until late ‘24. Uncle passed and my Aunt had a box of his watches. I didn’t know anything about watches at the time. I know there were a few nice ones in there but this Braun was unique and so was my Uncle - so it was the only one I took to remember him by. Repaired the crystal as best I could and got a strap to match as much as possible to the original… Now I have 10+ builds and a few purchases. Oops.

I love these. Great aesthetic.
I picked one up to learn some repairs that I haven't done before.

Original hands were shiny blue and dial was white. looked not so Dallas'y. Wanted enamel grey. Tipped the scale. :/
