Some collectible watches.

  

Bought this Tag Heuer Aquaracer calibre 16 from a pawn shop in Helsinki. 

This Kadloo Chronograph Automatic was bought from Basel watch show a few years ago by a friend. Now it's mine and i like it a lot.  

I also have box and for this watch. 

Bought this Bulova Day-Date Super Seville Automatic watch from an auction in Finland.  The movement in this watch is ETA 2834-2.

 

Another Bulova Super Seville Day-Date Automatic from an auction in Finland. 

This Bulova Automatic with original bracelet come to me from an auction Huuto.net in Finland.  Working fine,  and there is no need for service. 

This Bulova Accutron Tuning Fork watch was found from a collector here in Finland.  Very nice watch in very decent price.  I'm very happy with it. Thanks to my good friend  Auvo for helping me buy this watch.  Check out his intresting Facebook site Tuning Fork Watches or in Finnish Ääniautakellot. 

A Lea Chronographe Suisse Chronograph with Landeron 48 movement. Bought from a friend. Serviced by a professional watchmaker J.Huuskonen Nummela Finland. 

This Jaquet Droz Automatic wristwatch found from a fleamarket in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.  I did not know anything about this Jaquet Droz brand, what seems to be one of the oldest in watchmaking history. They have been making watches from year 1738. It's now serviced by a professional watchmaker J.Huuskonen Nummela Finland. 

A Poljot Chronograph was made for Barcelona Olympics 1992. The movement is Poljot 3133 23 jewels, based on Valjoux 7734 Swiss movement. The Russian watchmakers bought that 7734 17 jewels movement  and added 6 jewels to it. 

 Another Poljot Chronograph 3133 23 jewels movement, made for 1991 Tokio Olympics. The 3133 movement is based on Valjoux 7734 17 jewels movement,  which they did put 6 extra jewels to it. 

This watch has a very interesting engraving on the back: "überreicht Stellv. d.MfNV, Chef Volksmarine DDR" (Given (by/to?) Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (highest possible rank) DDR Marine) This watch was recently bought from a widow to a Swedish Marine Soldier. She remembers her husband getting this watch probably in San Diego, California during a Penthalon her husband Allan Viberg was competing in during the 1960ies 1970ies aproximately. It sounds unlikely that the DDR Volksmarine where invited to compete in the USA but it's certainly possible that he got it there as a friendly gift. Mr. Viberg was very prolific as a Swedish Marine Penthalon champion.

The watch is in as new condition and is in itself a very interesting watch produced in then East Germany.

How about a Meister-Anker Chronograph manual winder watch with Valjoux 7733 movement in it.  You don't see these very often. This watch was made for DDR market in Switzerland.  How many these watches have you ever seen?

We'll, lucky me. I did find another Meister-Anker Chronograph manual winder with Valjoux 7733 movement. This time  in very good condition.

Bought this 1950s Richard Automatic wristwatch from a fleamarket in Finland. 

When i come home, i was very suprised, when finding this rare Richard Automatic was a 18k Gold wristwatch.  I tried to find something about these Richard wristwatches,  and it was a big suprise, when finding this Richard watches a part of Girrard Perregaux company.  Not a bad find from fleamarket,  or what do you think...
