Woody, WELCOME to the forum, but nope. Have no information to offer. :-(

 

Here you go.... it appears to be a fashion oriented watch Co. , have never seeing one in the wild.

About Us

 

Gotham not "Gothan" watch company Gotham Watch Company, LLC.

 

I know these watches dont even slightly compare to vintage waltham, hamiltons etc...

They don't even compare slightly with the old Gotham watch company with their All-Proof and Gothamatic watches. Looks like generic OEM fodder to me. A sad waste of a cool brand name IMHO :-( Who is Dave Robbins anyway?

 

Chascom/Mod..? Why is this is the Chinese mechanical section?
Can you relocate?

 

Well, I can tell you that New York City was first referred to in writing by Washington Irving in 1807 and Gotham is a place in the UK rumored to have inept inhabitants. Sorry if you are reading this and are from there, I'm just quoting Wiki.
I also know little about the watch company Gotham. But I do own a Gothamatic with Power reserve.
The bezel appears to be solid 10kt gold as stated on the back. It is Anti-Magnetic, Shock Absorber and water resist. Stainless Back APEX.
It is a nice little watch. Solidly built.
Here are some pics for your enjoyment.

Cool looking watch. Always been a fan of those older looking designs.

 

Thanks for sharing. Now compare that vintage classic to the generic tat now offered by Robbins' company. Like I said before; it's a wasted opportunity.

 

I think it is pretty obvious that the two companies are unrelated.
Brand recognition is everything.

Gotham was a brand owned by Ollendorf Watch Co, New York, since 1868. Most, if not all, Gotham watches used Swiss movements; some cased up in the US, others imported complete. The most recent Gotham currently on ebay is a nasty bling piece from 1990-ish with a quartz movement. In the early post-war period, Gotham introduced the Gothamatic with bumper-type auto-winding, possibly a Schild calibre as their hand-winders apparently were. So they weren't cheap rubbish by any means, but not exactly high-grade either. I would guess 'Aquaking' was a replacement or update of the 'All-Proof' model.

 

Hey guys,
Ive spent a fair while trying find a thread on this subject but without any luck, i do apologize of there is one already. I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on the gotham watch company by dave robbins. I know these watches dont even slightly compare to vintage waltham, hamiltons etc. but im just curious to know the quality of them?
Thankyou.

 

HAVE A 14KGOLD GOTHAM WATCH AND BAND. MY DAD HAD IT BEFORE I WAS BORN. 1920-1950. IT NEEDS MOVEMENT NOW.
