    My latest addition (old German automatic content)

    06-09-2012 09:48 AM #1





    I picked this up recently on ebay, from a seller in Bulgaria. I'm not sure about the origins of Premira as a brand, but the movement is a PUW (Pforzheimer Uhrenwerke) 1561, a decent-quality West German automatic movement from the early (1971-1975) 70s. (http://www.christophlorenz.de/watch/..._1561.php?l=en)

    It came without a band, so I tossed it on a cheap 'NATO' style Timex band I found at Target. I didn't realize I'd enjoy wearing it so much, either. It's become one of my favorites. It's very, very solid, and -heavy-. I suppose exactly what you'd expect out of old german mechanicals

    Thanks! Sure, here's their seller page http://myworld.ebay.com/antoanette.b...id=p4340.l2559. Right now, it looks like they mostly have more expensive 'buy it now' auctions running, but who knows.
