Today at my watch repair place. See anything you recognize?

Some good stuff in there. I’ll take the Seiko 6119 and the 6138 down in the lower left corner, please. What were you having repaired?

Four Seiko 7A's, a Hamilton Ventura, three Gruen "Prince". Cool stuff.

There's a lot in there I would like to have! Some very cool items. Hopefully they all have a home to go to, I would like to adopt the majority of them. I would be like a kid in a candy store..[/SIZE]

Would love to see the movement within those vintage Omega timepieces. Have a vintage tank DeVille and was surprised how incredibly beautiful the movement is within it.

The one Gruen is a "doctor's dial", but it is not considered a "Prince", as it does not share the same 877s movement that the Rolex has. The case is different as well. The other 2 Gruens are Curvexes and do not have a doctor's dial.

The Hamilton is a Pacer, not a Ventura.
The Ventura was only made in solid gold cases and has covered lugs. (Wings)
The Pacer was mostly made in gold filled and does not have covered lugs.

Just getting some battery replacement for a couple of watches....

Most valuable, Gruen Doctor's dial, followed by Pacer.

My favorite, the 3 Omegas. Followed by the Universal Geneve.
The movements on those Hamilton electrics are crap.

Biggest sleeper. Timex Marlin.

Believe it or not, this is just one shot of many hundreds of watches like this piled in a display case - not to mention the owner's actual personal collection of "over 1000 pieces". I love to go in there and talk to him. He always has stories to tell.
