Incoming. My Second Vintage Bell-Matic.

Hey guys. This one arrived today and I'm really happy. The alarm complication is one of my favorite, so when I had the chance to get a Bell-Matic with a blue dial I just couldn't say no. This one is in great condition with perfect dial and hands and working great, so today is a happy day for me.

Super cool !

I’d like to have a watch with an alarm complication one day.

We’ll see :)

Congrats though, it’s cool to see something different every now and then :)

Thanks Jesus.
The alarm is a great complication.
If you want to try one there's the Seiko, the JLC memovox and also the Omega memomatic. Beautiful watches.

Beautiful watches! My watchmaker says they are a 3lb bag with 20lb's of stuff crammed into it. They are super tight to work on.

Welcome Flavio

I think I am leaning towards an older Bulova wristalarm. I've always wanted a vintage Bulova (for personal reasons), and I think that would be a great opportunity to buy an alarm watch

Enjoy your beautiful watches =D

Thanks buddy. I've seen the movement a couple times and think your watchmaker is right. it's very different from a regular 6119 that's for sure.

Thanks again my friend. Yes, I forgot the Bulova. Beautiful watch as well and I hope you get one.

Thanks my friend. It's a humble watch but I think it would fit in nicely in your great collection.

The Bell-Matics are a great watch, the 27 jewels are very nice
