Thnaks, Johan. Cortebert made some fine movements.... - 5 days ago

but this isnt one. This just happens to be very large for a Cortebert model, but that's only because they didn't make the movement. Its a Swiss Unitas 6497/6498 which dates this as among the last of the Cortebert's sold in the 70's before they vanished. As I mentioned before - Cortebert produced movements for Rolex & Panerai ( 40's & 50's I think) so a notable company among vintage collectors.

'70's Cortebert Unitas? - 6 days ago

Cortebert has an illustrious history having produced movement for mega-brands like Rolex. This just happened to show up at a very reasonable price, is both robust & modern enough for daily wear (as if). Curious if anyone has reference to the use f later Unitas in Cortebert case/dials? Re-badge? Thanks!

Cine-Art cult classic 1977 Sorcerer w/ Roy Scheider - 7 days ago

This is a re-make of a 1953 French film called “Wages of Fear”. Awesome visual & EPIC soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. Endure the slow start and find a plot narrative including a displaced foreign Euro-national trying to barter a nice watch for fare out of the third world jungle hell. See if you catch it - if you last through the beginning. The movie (ahem) shifts gears towards the ..ex

Big time! Grab your Yak, we're going to Lhotse - 8 days ago

Been some time since an update. Have scratched several vintage itches and found a novelty piece at truly novel pricing! In any case I've had a great deal too much fun and am here to share some toys 'cause that's what we do! First - already posted but part of the same cache of acquisitions, the Ruhla UMF 24-31 Mio handwinder with sub-sec. With NOS dial and super clean case & movement, I j
