IWC "DIRTY DOZEN" FACTORY ORIGINAL DIAL  AND WELL SERVICED MILITARY PIECE  1949

STOCK NUMBER # IWC90000------This is not an IWC case rather it is a custom piece and made to fit this genuine IWC caliber 89 center sweep movement and factory original IWC "Dirty Dozen" dial and hands. I can say this is a 3 piece all stainless steel case and from lug to lug the total length of this custom case is 43mm long. Across less the large steel crown it is 35mm. The dial once again has never been molested , touched or altered, it is in the same condition as it left the factory back in 1949/50. The hands I did re lume and now they are bright at night and the exact same patina as the original as I am very careful of this fact I did change the Center Sweep pinion that holds the sweep hand so the action is smooth as silk as the sweep hand goes around. The movement again is a caliber 89 with 17 clean and inspected jewels. The serial number for this movement is 1,206,740 which gives me the date of 1949/50. This movement has been taken apart and cleaned the proper way so expect a clean running military (non broad arrow) movement and dial in a generic perfect fit case. There are a slim and select few movements with the military broad arrow to the center wheel bridge and this one does not have it. Saying this, over the years 95% of all caliber 89 movements have been serviced and parts exchanged and swapped out for new old stock parts so in my point of view I am ok with this piece being sold as a generic case and a genuine caliber 89 International Watch movement. After the war they did have these pieces still with the broad arrow case but non broad arrow signed center wheel bridge so it is correct not forged at all. If this case had the markings with the broad arrow then you would expect to pay 12,000 USD or more with ease. So here is your chance to own a piece of military history at a way affordable down to Earth price with a 2 year warranty ;-)

The Dirty Dozen is the name of a movie from the 1960s, depicting the misadventures of 12 fictional soldiers during the Second World War. It is also, in watch collecting circles, the name given to a group of 12 watches worn by those who actually fought in it – specifically, British soldiers. They were commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) during World War II, and while they may not be as highly rated as other military watches when they are presented individually, as a set, they become some of the most collectible – specifically (but not exclusively), by British collectors. The British military had always been equipped with the most contemporary timekeepers of their era, from the marine chronometers of Harrison, John Arnold, and other horological pioneers, which gave the Royal Navy the essential ability to reliably determine longitude at sea, to "unbreakable glass" wristwatches advertised by Smiths watches during the First World War. But, when Great Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, few local watch companies could compete with Switzerland’s greater production capabilities, and those still in the business of making components were asked to focus their efforts on building military parts for the Air Force and the Navy. 

Switzerland would export large quantities of watches and pocket watches during WWII, to both the Allied Forces and the Germans, but these were
civilian market orders which pre-dated the war. The MOD thought these were not suitable to the needs of British soldiers, and decided to place an order
for custom-built wristwatches. These needed to be accurate, reliable and durable, which in watch making terms meant they had to be regulated to
chronometer standards, and also be waterproof and shockproof.<p>The watches also had to have a black dial, Arabic numerals, luminous hour and minute
hands, luminous hour markers, a railroad minute track, a shatterproof crystal, and a stainless-steel case. Powering them would be 15-jewel
movements, measuring between 11.75 and 13 lignes. Twelve companies would fulfill this brief: Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana,
Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex

STOCK NUMBER #BR550--------I offer for sale a fully serviced triple chronograph Breitling "Chronomat" time piece and it is encase in stainless steel with a solid 18 karat gold bezel as well as the bracelet is stainless steel with 18 karat solid gold inner tracks. This piece does come with a Breitling outer cardboard box and inner hard plastic Breitling presentation box and card. The case is large at 45mm long and wide less the original Breitling crown it is 42mm. The case back is a screw in and the case reference number is D-13048 / 119007, and as you can see clearly it is signed "Breitling" on the inside and outside. The dial is 100% factory never touched as well as the hands. The crystal is mineral and not a flaw. The 18 karat solid gold bezel only rotates counter clockwise which is correct. This genuine Breitling bracelet has a special add on as it does have the factory original 24 hour "side watch" that is quartz so you can keep track of any dual time zone you may be traveling in. There are 10 links and the end piece is signed "chrono / DUOG". As you can also see the fold over clasp is well signed and original to this two tone bracelet. The movement is freshly serviced and it is a Breitling signed 7750 (Valjoux) with 17 clean and inspected jewels. This is an automatic movement and the date flips over perfectly as 12 pm. When you pull the crown out once the date will flip over with the turn of the crown. Pull the crown out a bit further and the time will change with the turn of the crown. This piece is Swiss made at the Breitling factory in the 1998 era. The chronograph pushers operate flawlessly and the sweep hand fly's back to 12 perfectly. This is a heavy piece and really just a beautiful design with the dark blue dial and 2 tone Breitling case.

WELSBRO TRIPLE BUTTON CHRONOGRAPH SWISS MADE AND WELL SERVICED (IMPORTANT ENGRAVING ON BACK)  1942

STOCK NUMBER #WELSBRO50--------I have for sale a fully serviced Welsbro movement from the Swiss factory of Landeron. Please notice the inner sliding button in the crown as this is a rare triple pusher double register chronograph. The button above the crown when pushed will start the centre sweep hand.

This Welsbro signed movement has 17 clean and inspected jewels and as it has been well serviced and well maintained all these years, it keeps great time and each and every piece has been inspected properly never any short cuts taken at all.

MINT NEW OLD STOCK NEVER TOUCHED TRIPLE CHRONOGRAPH DAY AND DATE AUTOMATIC VALJOUX 7750  2009

Mr Lesser,

I am moved by your professionalism pertaining to the sale of this timepiece via myself to my husband (newlyweds). I can't begin to tell you the fancy cherry presentation box was an exquisite touch which moved Steve to tears when he opened the  wood box with this well described timepiece inside.

My sincere gratitude for a simple conversation which lead  me to the perfect choice.

your incredible!

On a personal note, We would love give you a 5 cent tour of our fair city if your travels every bring you here !

Roberta Oakwooxx, Oklahoma City

 well simply if to you had a metal post going through a metal hole after a few years or so the hole would wear out and become a bit oval which will affect the watch, if you put a jewel in this hole with a bit of high grade oil and put a metal post into the hole it will keep it's shape forever!
