Very nice box of mid-century beauties.
Nice collection. All of them looks great. I particularly like the Consul Alarm and the Langendorf

Thanks. I need to add the movement info to those two! The Consul is an Adolf Schild movement and the Langendorf is a Lanco-Rotor but I don't remember the calibers off-hand. If you're interested in seeing inside the Langendorf there's a case opening video here: (youtube)+Drp2pAYWdkY?t=1286. And there's a lume shot of it here: (youtube)+Drp2pAYWdkY?tt=3023. Unfortunately I think you may have to copy and paste the two links above to get to the correct time offsets in the video. The video description is also indexed so you can just click on the video and then jump to it using the timeline or the time-offfsets in the description..
Gorgeous collection, love it!
Wonderful collection! Great pieces!
Where did you find that BOR bracelet for the bellmatic? The end links look like they were made for the case.

I got it in Switzerland. Here's the link to the auction. https://www.ricardo.ch/fr/a/seiko-vintage-edelstahl-uhrenarmband-1189988968/
End links were correct when I got it so I think it may have been made for Bell-Matic.
Thank you. Great find. I've been looking (off and on) for a bracelet that fits that bellmatic case.
Some great watches in there!
I can see a trend in these watches! Beautiful collection!
