Another incoming project

Post by demer03 » Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:21 am

Have been wanting one of these since Tom started posting his, though I wanted an early generation non-chrono. Found this one on ebay. Will need a service and re-lume, but I snagged it at a great price. By the time it's done, I'll be ahead of the game. 44 Jewel in-house movement!

Now;

Should look closer to this when done;

Cool history.

Thx guys. I already found the bracelet and have an email into Jack at IWW.

I'm really looking forward to this one when it's done. I like the blue starburst dial.

I'll brush the case myself.

It's an in house 44 jewel movement Roamer developed during the "jewel wars" of the late 60's. I'm still looking for info. Just got cold water thrown on me tho.....Jack is running a six month backlog.....

Bummer.
