chris5264 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=5619&hl=river I think this is very close to what I've been looking for. Great dial except the bright white letters seem to really contrast with the rest of the vintage dial. Nice movement. Any one else think this is a decent vintage?

slay Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 pretty expensive compared to the other ones he offered a while ago (almost identical to this one, same movement, case dial, only the hands looked a little "newer"), it was 139$!

Watchmeister Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yeah, but those two are entirely different thing. The $1100 one has proper dimensioned 47mm fixed lug case (very rare) with dimensions identical to the 3646 and Kampfschwimmer vintages. It also has true older russian movement which is built like a tank and very nice vintage touch on the dial and hands. The second one is a radiomir with custom brown dial and different hands. Both are watchmaster originals and that is what you are paying for. Not everyone's cup of tea but he has a very loyal following (including me) for good reason. River's is a perfectly nice piece but not in the same league. I am surprised at the price though but I may be missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you find these higher end vintages? Anywhere else but RC? Seems like its been down for a while so I can't check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 ExWatchmaster is the creator. As of recently he only shows select items on TRC having had some bad experiences with others on the forums. Buy one and you are hooked. He is a fabulous guy but rightfully shy.
