Look what the postman brought me yesterday......

Vintage! I was looking for information on an old Bulova movement that I was taking apart for fun, and stumbled across a site with some nice vintage pieces. I started scrolling through the pages, and found this very nice Wittnauer from 1948......I just had to have it as I LOVE the dial.



I plunked down my credit card, and bought what I think is a very nice watch. 10k gold filled case, and it's in great shape apart from some damage on the case back.



Note the shaped crystal........very nice.......



And now the wrist shot........



It has a hand-wound 17 jewel 9WN Swiss movement (at some point I will crack the case and take some shots). Don't know the beat rate off hand but it's slow based on the sound. The movement doesn't hack, so it will take some time to see if it is losing or gaining any significant time.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one.......
