Did someone say "last watch of 2023?" Bah!
I have a history of buying watches at the very end of the year. My Camy Club-Star came December 31st right before my watchmaker closed his shop for the weekend. Talk about a last-minute purchase.
This is my Christmas present to myself, a Bucherer Chronometer in need of a service. The auction just closed ten minutes ago. I'll post some more about it when it's in my hands and after I've given it some love. It has a ETA calibre 2830 inside, which beats at 28 800 A/h, making it my first high-beat* watch.
I'm waiting on an auction for a '50s Oris to finish from the same seller so that I can save some money by shipping them together. When does that auction end? December 31. How poetic.
*The definition for high-beat is so loose that technically all of my watches are high-beats by some standards.
A famous Dutch saying: “𝘕𝘦𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘣 𝘫𝘦, 𝘫𝘢 𝘬𝘶𝘯 𝘫𝘦 𝘬𝘳𝘪𝘫𝘨𝘦𝘯.”
Extremely underrated…solid movement. Bucherer now owned by Rolex… I have a couple of these 70’s gems.
