NWA C.W Roamer

I was looking for a vintage watch for my birthday watch. Settled on this one because I like the look. Replaced the brown band that came with it because I already have a number of watches with brown straps. I put this black strap with yellow stitching to match the hands but I also bought a yellow suede strap. Ran it on the rime l Grapher and it will need some adjustment but not bad looking for the price I paid.

Hey, I just got myself a Roamer this past weekend. I hope the new ones are as good as the old ones.

Is that really vintage? It looks like a brand new dial and case!

It's not 100% vintage but the movement is. I realize what I was getting when I purchased because the seller was up front. This was just fun, kind of vintage watch. I didn't pay a lot of money. Maybe sometime down the road I will get a 100% vintage piece but for now, I like it. And given the dial color, I want to try different color straps.

Right on. Pieces like that are a great way that we, as watch lovers, keep cool old mechanical movements in use that otherwise would just sit there or get tossed out!
