I'm very new to the hobby and decided to take a small risk on a possible frankenwatch from eBay. It's a Doxa face, fixed lugs, with a Wagner 710 movement. My best guess is late 1930's, because of the lugs and the virtually unknown Wagner movement Here's the interesting wrinkle(to me at...

Hello everyone! I’ve been a longtime lurker on the forum, but this is my first post! Please let me know if I’ve posted this in the incorrect forum. I’m posting here because I recently picked up a vintage Elgin that I believe must have been an early homage to one of Elgin’s WWII service watches...

I’ve got a WW2 era (1941) Waltham wristwatch with the premier 9 jewel 6/0 42 movement. The balance seems bad and my local repair person wants at least $350 to fix and service it. My thought is I’d try to find out if there’s a modern hack movement that I could just swap out and just transfer...

Hi! Anyone know anything about this one? I've seem descriptions of similar watches on Ebay listed as WWII Wehrmacht watches, but haven't found this exact model. Not sure what's inside since I don't have a tool to open the octagonal case back. The patina on the dial is beautiful, but sadly It...

My Longines Weems L2.608.4 is a reissue of a second-setting pilot watch made by Longines for the US Air Force during WWII. In 1929, US Navy Captain Phillip Van Horn Weems in conjunction with Longines (and Wittnauer) developed the Weems Second-Setting Watch for nautical navigation. It had a...

I decided that 2018 would be the year for beautifying the Sinn part of my watch family �� (856 - U1 - 903) After offering a new wardrobe to my Sinn U1 in January I began to think for a strap for my 40th birthday's Sinn 903, so I contacted Maxime Peyrache (Xamlam) , a leather...

...I read "somewhere" that there were other companies, besides Rolex, that gave watches to allied prisoners during WWII. Does anybody know which ones? (also any other related info - eg about other wars - would be welcome).

I purchased this strap at a local military show a few years ago. It appears to be hand made/machine stitched brown leather with a brass buckle that reads "@STA-WITH" or "@STA-WITE", hard to tell due to the corrosion. Any thoughts if this is a military watch band and/or from the 1940s?

Hi Folks, I am looking for a DLC watch affordable (No Chineese) Below watches I like the most, however, they are over my budget. Any recommendations? Pictures are very welcome... Cheers,

This one's not getting much wrist time, so I'm looking to move it on to a better home. This is from Rob's Vintage 2 series and is made from heavy, antique leather with a lot of character. Condition is overall very good, with very little bend and minimal discoloration on the interior leather...

Hi, This is my first posting, I usually come across this forum when doing research on watches and finally decided to join! I recently picked up this Eterna watch from an estate of a WWII pilot, but I am uncertain if this is a military watch, as it does not look like any of the other Eterna...
