RWC Oyster Lipton

[smellody]

My RWC Oyster Lipton is just back from an extensive overhaul. I will dub it the "Lipton Tea Stain." New balance staff, mainspring, crystal, crown, and other bits. My watchmaker's watchmaker wife did a great job refilling the hands and matching the dial lume. Love the red 24 hour track. Now to pick just the right strap.

Nice find would that be what they call a bubble back?

Correct era. This watch is strictly mechanical with no self winding. The bubble back cases protrud, egg shaped, at the case back to accommodate automatic watch's rotors.

I have one and will photograph later today.
