A Few To Share...

Post17 Apr 2012, 01:07

.
1. Panquartz with tilted face, condition wise it is a little shabby chic with almost total gold loss but still kinda funky, thanks to Funkyguy for this one.

2. Trafalgar, nice interesting case shape, another one with thanks to Funkyguy.

Image


3. Klaiber, purchased from Hanno and fitted with a converted SASM33 module, it's a cracking watch, if he has any more I would highly recommend it to others, my photo's do not do this watch justice it is a really nice quality watch and so much nicer than the photo suggests.

Image


4. Croton dual display, thanks to Ed for the supply of the module.

Image


5.Trafalgar semi driver.

Image


6. Quasar semi driver, rare shaped watch which I was very pleased to find.

Image


7. Hamilton.

Image


8.Elgin.

Image


9. Arnex.

Image


10. Croton, I cheated with this one, the module is from a woman's led watch that I modified using conductive copper tape and a little artistic license, it works OK but the setting procedure is a little tricky.

11. Rodania.

bucko170,

My personal favorites are...

1) Quasar - Semi-driver

2) Elgin - SS

3) Hamilton

That Quasar I have NEVER, NEVER seen on an eBay auction, Jewelry/pon-shop store nor a private watch sale, and I believe you never will either.

Very very nice Quasar.

The Quasar is my favourite out of the selection also, the only other one that I have seen is on Peter Wenzig's website as photo'd here http://www.ledwatches.net/photo-pages/quasar6.htm

The Quasar is one of my fav models. I owned both the SS & gold toned versions.
I kept the SS .see here:

viewtopic.php?f=62&t=3974&p=25151&hilit=quasar#p25151

But i sold the gold toned for a huge price to another. (not listed here)
So fairly rare.lol.

I didn't even know there was a SS version :eek:

I wondered why you didn't outbid me ;-)

Show us your latest FG, I know you always have one or two wonders tucked away.
