Many thanks for all the kind words. Glad you like the watch. Must add it is sitting on my wrist continously for three weeks now, and it seems most convenient to wear and read of all the watches I've...

A Polish company G.GERLACH offers a two watch collection ORP SOKOL and ORP DZIK, called after Polish WW2 submarines (on lease from RN) operating from Malta. I think at well below 200 pounds for 200 m...

You mean something like this, Huertecilla?

This may be interesting too, even if in...
Are you sure, Huertecilla, you did not actually mean "Stechkin"?

John, it seems that standard configuration in the 70-s was an imitation leather attache case, containing the pistol, a can (was it a box?) of pellets, holster (artificial leather, like mine) a...
No, I know the "Olympia", had once the privilege of shooting it. I mean something I saw pictures only once. It looked externally exactly like an LP 53 (in fact it was a factory conversion of it),...
As promised, the "archers" (that's what "Lucznik" means in Polish):

BTW It is a well known story about the LP 53, it is much less known that there was a firearm (rim firing .22, that is), built by Walther on the same frame. I think it was called SP 53, but will check...
Again, I thought a topic on progress of a China Watches Forum (name, more or less traditional, not in full agreement with the forum lines of interest) watch project by G.GERLACH, in Polish but lots...
It is actually so: In the thirties, three liners were ordered at Monfalcone shipyard. The "M/S Pilsudski" (so named after Polish political leader, full stop), the "M/S Batory" (named after a king of...
Batory should be ready this autumn, and then reservations should start. There will be no limitation as such, but I am afraid that when original batch sells out a long wait will follow. I will advise...
Two "Blonie" (small town at the outskirts of Warsaw) products of the fifties/sixties, the "Baltyk"-s (meaning Baltic sea, of course). Content of Soviet parts was to be reduced, new machines were...
In Poland, obtaining "special" personal plates is fairly easy and not so costly, there are limitations though, first digit is obligatory depending on region (W for Warsaw, K for Cracow etc.) then...
I thought you might be interested in news from G.GERLACH. As you know, there is a "Project 303" watch made for a Forum. Now, GG revealed they will use the same case design for a "marine" watch,...
Very nice "Molnija", Huertecilla! And quite rare, too. Talking of Soviets:

Does anyone know anything about this model? There is nothing on their website about it.

I will try to answer, all that I know is - it is not a GG production watch but a...
Just to make things clear, the Gerlach "Terrible Twins" are called ORP Sokol (radio code N97) and ORP Dzik (P54), featuring white and black dial accordingly. I am afraid the signing up for "303...
Take a look at these:

The "Terrible Twins" are very nice 200WR divers, commemorating bith Polish WWII submarines (ex Royal Navy) operating in Mediterranean and a Soviet...
My late Father's "Longines", I do not know, was it issued, bought or liberated (pity, I didn't ask). Anyway, Father returned from Britain after the war (as an Army lieutenant) with this watch on...
Back of a bus is looking rather handsome.
