Man, you have a lot of miles on that VW. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |

What a wonderful collection!!!! I am seriously impressed. I owned a Laco years ago, now I have a Mauthe that I found in virtually new condition.
\
What I find especially interesting is that I found this watch without a crown. Otherwise it was mint. I am a watchmaker (now retired) so overhauling it and replacing the crown was no problem, except that I had no idea what crown it originally had. I dug through my large stock of spare crowns and picked out something that I felt looked suitable. I am pleasantly amazed to see the picture of your Mauthe and realize that the original crown is virtually identical to the one I (somewhat arbitrarily) picked out from my parts drawer.
Great watches, I am envious of your collection. You have some I have never even heard of, let alone seen. _________________ Gone but not forgotten: 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1966) - another 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1996) |

Nice collection Tedi !
Somehow the COMET looks very familiar to me
I am happy that you found a PORTA in the meantime as well.
From my experience it's the rarest one of all the 100.000 km watches. |
