Now I like this, most I have seen in this style of watch has been quartz,this one is mechanical,reminds me of a vintage Prince.
From Eddie Platt at timefactors at £245.
FHF. Hand winding movement, variant of the calibre 138 with 17 jewels.

Eddie does have a number of really great watches on his site.. didnt spot this one! looks nice. Thinking of buying one?

padi56 · 8 June 2006, 09:59 PM

Had a quick glance think they are a very limited addition,and yes seriously thinking about, but my heart is set on a vintage Prince.

8 June 2006, 10:02 PM

Very nice Padi! I like this one a lot.....

Gedanken · 8 June 2006, 10:08 PM

That's real purdy, Peter! At £245 it's one helluva steal!

Very nice

I can't believe the low price

mailman · 9 June 2006, 11:58 AM

I think it's very nice looking. Great price too.

Launch Mini · 9 June 2006, 01:16 PM

That is almost a steal at that price.
What would the dimensions be on something like that?

JJ Irani · 9 June 2006, 04:55 PM

Sorry, Padi, although the watch is beautiful, I never was into square watches.

Padi, how much would a vintage prince go for? i havent really seen many of them around (although i havent really looked for one either) are they really rare?

Well the one I would most like to own is a 1930s Sterling Silver mod
07539 Deco dial doctors watch. For a really mint example now around the £9000-£11000.But they start for around £2000,and depending on model go steadily upward,not bad for a watch with a Gruen movement.

Nice one... Zeno make good watches for the money.

Launch Mini · 10 June 2006, 03:10 AM

Nice size, but my eyes are getting too old to see the dials on a watch like that

and

I would love to pick up some of the complication watches out there, but they are just too dang small & detailed for me to wear regularly.
This one might work, as the dial is not cluttered at all

mamas · 10 June 2006, 03:16 AM
