Welcome to the club! I love these old jump hours. Yours is in such excellent shape, is it NOS?

Here's my Lucerne.

Thanks Ryan! No, mines been around for about 6-7 years now. I bought used off of eBay, but had it serviced and polished about 8 months ago. It’s something fun from my collection. Try to have a variety of complications.

Yours is awesome. Like how the digits are more balanced. Mines all to the left for some reason.

I’ve been thinking about getting a Meistersinger Salthora, but can’t quite justify the price.

It's in remarkable condition considering that these were chromed brass cases, unless yours is full stainless steel, which I have yet to see on a Lucerne Digital.

The movements should be exactly the same on the inside. When popping the dial off, the digits can align either left or right if I remember correctly. I'm sure this saved some of these jump hour companies money as the watch could get completely different looks based on where the apertures were cut. They could be on opposite sides of the dial like mine or both on one side like yours.

They're by no means quality movements, but I love mine to bits and I adore the look of it, despite not wearing it often enough.
