Thread: A long awaited return

    A long awaited return

    A fed years ago I bought a gorgeous little vintage Oriosa- a GMT styled piece with the most perfect “coke” Bakelite bezel.
    It was bought “with issues” and I sent it off to a local watchmaker with the request to get it running
    It sat in his to do pile for close on 2 years awaiting parts but no joy.
    So I took it back and sent it to Brendan to see if he could do anything.
    2 weeks later it’s back and running perfectly and looking stunning- to my eye anyway
    I’ll try and post a pic or a link but in the meantime Thanks go to webwatchmaker for superb service with regular updates
    So it’s been a wait but the outcome is all good- I’ll be looking for similar styled and sized watches as these really tick my boxes at the moment!

    And here’s a pic or a link at least if anyone can transform it to a pic!IMG_3885.JPG

    Pretty low res unfortunately, but looks nice from what I can see.

    I've got two of them, one is exactly the same as yours but the other has a purplish coloured dial.

    Look at the caseback - it probably has 844 stamped on it. It's the Monnin 844 case used by Heuer and many others.

    It is indeed an 844 ( monnin) case
    Nice size...
