AP Ultra Thin Manual Skeleton

Post by WatchTimes » Sat Aug 31, 2019 10:35 am

My father despite being fascinated with all kinda of mechanical devices and collecting everything from Lionel trains, real train cars, arcade games, nickelodeons, jukeboxes, slot machines etc etc he was never really into watches but he did purchase a beautiful AP Skeleton in Paris at the boutique in the early 60's and a 60's Breitling Navitimer (which I have).
Anyway here are a couple pics, its not worth a ton but its just special to me and its fascinating to look at.
I consider it unique and I hope you do!
Yes, I need to start taking better pics LOL

That is a pretty good looking watch, movement looks really nice on both sides.

That’s awesome!

My father only has a two-tone quartz Tag to pass on to someone in the family. I do have my great grandfather’s Elgin pocketwatch though and had it serviced to replace some broken jewels so it’s ready to be passed to the next generation.
