Vintage Rolex Pocket Watch

A vintage Rolex pocket watch, circa early1900s.

From the case back engraving, it was originally a collection of a Parry family until it ended up in an antique shop in Perth, Australia. It was in 1999 when I saw it one morning in the shop and bought it straightaway. Later the watch was sent in to the Rolex Centre (Singapore) for thorough check and confirmed 100% original.

The watch dial was made from silver and its case was gold-plated.

A rare piece indeed.

Omega Speedmaster

This is a special model of Omega speedmaster, because of its size & design feature.

Observe carefully, it is slightly smaller than the normal speedmasters and its dial comes with minutes numeric markers, i.e. 5, 10, 20, etc... aligned to the hour bars. (The normal speedmaster models do not have this design feature).

The watch movement is automatic winding.

It is topped with the bubble glass which is the most unique feature of original speedmaster.

IWC Chronograph GST Titanium

This is a rare titanium IWC chronograph model GST (stands for Gold.Steel.Titanium).

The model's production was stopped in 2003.

This piece comes with an automatic movement (there's a quartz movement model apparently) and production numbers are much less than the steel model.

The GST titanium is highly sought after by serious collectors these days due to its rarity and scratch proof titanium material used. It remains one of IWC's most classic chronograph designs. There are stainless steel version being auctioned on the Internet but not the genuine GST Titanium model.

Soviet Union Military Medal

This is a military service medal of the Soviet Union era.

The soldier received this medal in the year 1985.

Not able to understand the Russian wording on the back of this medal though. There's indication of 1941 - 1945 (which is WW II period). It could be a World War II commendation medal for veterans?

I bought it from an antique shop in Singapore, apparently a Russian sailor sold it while passes by Singapore.
