Thanks to Bob for finding this thread.

I love Bubblebacks especially with the California dial. Most of the ones I have seen for sale have been professionally restored. Although not "original" they recreate the impression these watches made when new. Some of them were over the top stunning.

Great thread here.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread with a few images of my Bubbleback collection, sadly sold now but greatly missed.

I have just bought a new steel/gold 3372 which I'll share when I've taken some images so the collection has begun again it would seem :)

I'm so glad someone resurrected this thread. I'm very interested in learning more about Bubblebacks and would like to eventually buy one or two for my conglomerations that will someday actually be a coherent collection. I've been observing some of these on eBay, but of course the pricing is all over the place as is the quality. I've been looking at pictures, and trying read up on history, etc., but it's not terribly easy to navigate through the cruft to find the good stuff.

Are there any more Bubbleback owners on the forum who'd like to help a n00b figure out what's what? Do any of our Trusted Sellers deal in these gorgeous pieces? Thanks for any info.
