Baume & Mercier Hampton Classic Small Cuffwatch

How do others feel about fantasy redials vintage watches?
On Ebay recently I've run across a series of nice looking American watches from the 40's and 50's sporting fantasy redials mostly with bold bright solid colors.I'm oddly both attracted and repulsed by these watches. I'm curious how others feel about this sort of modification.I've attached an example: UNIQUE 1959 Green & Yellow BULOVA Mens VINTAGE Watch bulova_3.JPG

Something different: a Lucite"Lange"
About 25 years ago Jim Reese, who was at that time the only surviving inventor of the Hamilton Electric watch (he died in 1992), gave me an odd empty watch case made of clear Lucite which he had kept as a souvenir when he retired. He could not remember where it came from or why it was in the Research Lab, but it was definitely a professionally manufactured item. It is embossed "Pat. Pending" on the back, and is carefully constructed with steel sleeves to reinforce the spring bar holes, and a steel sleeve for the stem/crown. It even had specially designed spring bars. Alas, it had no movement or dial.It's been sitting in my drawer ever since. This morning I got a complete watch with the identical case from the son of retired Hamilton employee in Lancaster. His father had worked in R&D and quite obviously liked and wore the watch a lot. It's cracked all the way across the front, vertically, and one lug is broken off. The crown is corroded. But it's an identical case to what I had. I

Typical accuracy, or just lucky?
I have an Orvis watch that I purchased from one of their catalogues about a year ago. I have been surprised by how accurate it has been. I would always check it against the clock in my truck while going to work, and noticed that it was pretty much, dead on.Two days ago I decided to check it against the Greenwich Mean Time, and found that it is +4 seconds a day. To me that is accurate! Has anyone else tried an Orvis watch? This particular watch is the Vintage Mechanical Chronograph.I did some checking, and although no one says what movement is in it, by the looks of it, it is the Chinese Seagull ST-19, which was modeled after the Venus 175. There is even the word China, 3 ATM, on the back of the case.It is a manual wind, stainless steel watch, with two registers. Small seconds at 9, 30 min. counter at 3.

RG RC sold at half price on ebay
I should have bid on this only sold for $15K. Feedback is 0 and Russian and God knows what watch they would have actually sent but then you can get your money back easy on ebay. .ebay.co.uk/itm/Audemars-P...-/271144584557
