Two vintage pieces that will never be sold
I got the blue Cohnen as a side thought. Looked ok on Ebay so I got it, not expecting much. But then, seeing that blue dial in person and replacing the old, scratched up crystal, I knew this one is special.
I don't know how to name the pattern on the dial except "awesome".
Since then I was on the lookout for more. A year or so later I found this Anker 81. Same watch, different name. I am assuming that Anker is the original maker of both, with Cohnen being custom named.
The dial on Anker has a bit more of discoloration but it still looks decent.
I hope that there are more variants of these watches so that I can "catch them all". 😎
I have always had interest in everything mechanical and since 2019 that has transferred to watches. Since then I have started collecting and tinkering with them. So yeah, I am a watch collector now :)
Very interesting dials 😍👍🏻
That cohnen dial is awesome, almost denim looking 👍
Truly beautiful watches. The brushing on those dials is mesmerizing!
