I bought this SARB033 from a dealer that advertised it as freshly serviced.

It was so off that I ran multiple other watches to ensure my machine wasn’t malfunctioning. They were all good.

What say ye?

Generally I’m a wear it like it is guy, but some watches are too far gone to wear, and leaving them in a drawer half rotten, is a shame. I believe there’s a legitimate time for a redial and polish, and, as heretical as it may be to some, this was one of those times.

Love automatics for traveling

This belonged to my dad. Missing you on Father’s Day!

This is a 2627-2 dress version. The crystal is chipped. I was going to hunt another, but it got me wondering if the mag window was OEM. I’ve never seen another with one, and this one is not centered. Original or not?

Steens, Alford and Owyhee last week.

Glad to find the sub.

I'm having trouble hunting down info on this watch. I think it was a house brand, but I can't find ANY information on Fred Sauer. It runs and the alarm function works.

My dad was a big UG fan. I bought a watch he would have appreciated with money he left me.

I found this at my mom’s house. She did estate sales for years. It runs, but the crown tube is for sure stripped and the crown might be too. The set function isn’t working either. I took it to a good repair shop, but he threw up his hands. Can it be fixed?

Thanks!

Just for enjoyment. The Omega (needs a crystal) and Waltham are on Veblenist straps. The UG…Hirsch. I’ve got micro wrists! 😜

This came out of my dad’s collection. He was a UG fan, but this wasn’t a personal watch per se. I think he picked it up from an estate sale. I love the small blue 24 hour numbers, but the lume is missing on the minute hand and there’s significant dial wear/burn between 12 and 2. What’s it worth?
