Well known for their five ball rotor bearing, from around 1960s, Eterna vintage, perhaps 50 years old. Original dial, signed movement etc. Just for fun and aesthetics reasons. No idea how much it costed when new, nowadays available on eBay for ~$100. Note that raised indices cast colored shadows under the instrument light, I tried to compensate with a side light, but that was yellowish, well... So there are two pics under an angle, however, the plastic crystal is distorting image.

Somehow I like to look at vintages up close and personal, it's like reading an old book or looking at the old photo album

Wow time has done a number on that dial. I'm surprised at how clean the movement looks though. Definitely seems to have kept well under the hood.

Martin if you don't mind me asking; what kind of setup are you using to take these pictures? They're great :-!. I'd love to be able to take a shot at trying it myself sometime.

WOW! What a beautiful watch. The movement is almost pristine, despite the pitting in the gold plate on the dial and hands. Many of your studies of more modern watches don't show such clean lines inside the gears and jewels. Now I want one.. but where did you find this for $100? I usually only see worn out junk in the Eterna vintages on the 'Bay. What a treat.

Thank you, Judah! It's Nikon SMZ745T, we have it in a lab. I wish I could buy one for cheap for myself some day

Thank you, Robert! Well, this one went for $99, the only thing, which wasn't signed was the replacement crown from Hamilton. But this price is quite common, ok, perhaps $120 is more common

The movement on this one is impressive. Overall, quite nice given its age.
