Glashütte GUB Spezimatic

I couldn't resist! Glashütter Uhrenbetrieb GmbH (GUB) Spezimatic from the 70s. Runs great, great condition and fresh from service. Plexiglas is a bit fiddly, but ok. 🎄

No, no, it's just gold-plated. It also "only" cost around 300USD.

Still an excellent plating job to hold up this well over so many years! Congratulations on a beautiful piece 😍

Fine specimen you have there. I have a strong affinity with 70ies designs as I am made in the seventies too.

Beautiful condition! 😍

Radial texured cushion cases are always great.

Who is German enough to tell me if Spezimatic (with a c instead of a k) is some portmanteau of specialized and automatic? I was able to look up that GDR means German Democratic Republic, aka East Germany.
