One woman's junk is another man's treasure - a trip into rep history

[Donerix 2.0]

A longtime friend of mine who works as a photo-stylist all over the world sent me a special christmas gift this year. A package full of old (some broken) watches she had acquired over the years when she needed a prop for a photo shoot.

Here is the loot:

The classic sub:

Extra thick font bezel insert, pointy crown guards (!), sapphire or bullet-proof mineral glass crystal. Not working (but maybe I can do something with the case...)

Shows you how far we have come

For the distinguished business man: Rolex Oyster Perpetual (Roman dial):

Special 4mm crown, unpolished case, the folded Jubilee bracelet feels actually great. Not working

My favorite: the mysterious Big-Off-set logo clasp:

The Player: Shiny metallic blue Daytona (still running strong, despite missing pushers), great crown shape, brass pusher tube detail AND correct "110" spacing on the SS bezel, great folded bracelet

Maybe a gen: Seiko Sportsmatic Diashock (sounds like the rotor is stuck):

Last but not least two vintage German classics from UHTRA with 30 jewel movements AND 585 real gold cases !!!! and great patina (both running):

Gotta run and find a scale and a torch ....
