Vintage Lemania 105 2-Register Chronograph Medical Doctors watch

NOT FOR SALE
Circa 1940's or maybe earlier doctor's watch.
Notice the wording on the dial 'Gradue Pour 15 Pulsation'. This is used by medical doctor to count the pulse rate of ones heartbeat.
This kind of dials are pretty rare.
A very collectible and high in value watch.
All functions including chronograph are working well.




 Look nice in Nato strap, or just simply elegant with lizard band.

UPDATE
-------------------------------------------------
I finally found the original NOS sparepart for the crown.
And here are the more-satisfying new look :)





NOS Bernoulli Men Wristwatch -SOLD

I call this watch Breguet For The Poor.
This is an automatic watch, has features like the ones from those far expensive Swiss watch.





Look at the date. It has a pointerdate feature plus this is the interesting part, it is jumping date!
The day is displayed in rotating pointer sharing the same circle with the subsecond.
Hands are Breguet-like hands. Truely classic look.



40mm in diameter not including crown.



Overall, this is a very interesting watch, eventhough it may come from the cheaper part of the world, but nevertheless, a finely finished watch.

Vintage 1950s CYMA Military Style Big size mens watch

If you been collecting WWII military watch, this might be interesting.
Not planning to sell it yet, unless I ve got a very nice offer.

 Just cool classic military watch, large and shiny.

 Fixed lug case, 18K gold plated, but look very thick gold.
 I think this watch uses pocketwatch movement. Thick loudly.

Vintage Bucherer Automatic Men wristwatch -SOLD






Someone asked me if this backcover is genuine, because it has TEVO watch. I advised him, why not google.
It IS Genuine. Read the background history of Bucherer, you will find that Bucherer is a high-end Swiss jeweller, same as Longines, they don't manufacture movements, instead used others movements like ETA, Felsa, Valjoux, Lemania, FHF etc. encased in their watches. In this case, Bucherer used movements manufactured by TEVO. Similar case of Omega watches but having Dennison casing.
Furthermore, if you are lucky, you might find Bucherer watches made by ROLEX! In 1950's, Rolex contracted Bucherer to supply watches, meaning the whole watche were produced by Rolex but having Bucherer dial. Don't believe? Better believe!
You know, being into this hobby, please dont just like a watch because it look nice. A little bit of reading is good for enhancing your knowledge in this subject that is very subjective to their history. This is what make me enjoy this hobby.




and here is the Bucherer store in Geneve.
