This oldie still takes my breath away....          Uncle AJ's Rolex, Wrist Watch & Nature Forum Forum Index -> Other brands View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message Tools Keeper of lost marbles Status: Larry Favourite Watch: GMT Joined: 30 Aug 2007 Posts: 2567 Location: The Desert Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2008 2:45 pm    Post subject: This oldie still takes my breath away.... It's been a number of years, but I had the old Lanco cleaned, oiled, and buffed..  She looks pretty good... This watch is 43 years old... Lanco was a well respected Swiss Watchmaker from the mid 1800's, and became part of the SSIH holding company in the 1930's, along with Omega and Tissot, among others.....  So this one resides in the Omega Box.. It sports a complete disassembly, rebuild and lube job.. The dial shows some wear as this was a daily wear for me in the late 1960's.  The dial was only given a light clean-up and the hands untouched.  The original lume has aged nicely. Sporting a new Hirsch Leather Strap and 14k gold deployant clasp...This one is ready for a night out.. Here are a couple of before shots on it's solid gold Alaska Nugget bracelet. _________________ ...............
