IN THE SHOP: Twelve New Vintage Watches For Sale, Including An Amazing Tudor 7032 With Box & Papers, Tiffany-Signed Datejust, A Mono-Rattrapante Bovet, And More
It's that time of the week again, everyone! Yes, the HODINKEE Shop has been re-stocked with a dozen new vintage finds curated by the team here at HODINKEE. And as we said when we launched this initiative a few weeks back, what we've found for you are nothing if not honest, original examples of some truly special watches. Let's get into it. A 1940s Mono-Rattrapante Bovet Chronograph 1 OF 15 We'll start with one of the most fascinating watches of the lot – this Bovet Mono-Rattrapante. First of all, Bovet of the 1940s has very little, if anything, to do with the Bovet of today. Back then they were making elegant watches with classic designs and in the case of this wonderful Mono-Rattrapante, downright fascinating concepts. We all know what a rattrapante, or split-seconds, is, and all also know it is one of the holy grails of horology – a complication reserved for highest echelons of watchmaking, in particular back then!

Forgive the crummy pics, ill post more pics when it gets some wrist time. And finally, on the wrist at home...but still has the plastic on it.

Kain Heritage Straps' Presentation Wins
I had zero intention of making this thread - I'm certainly not going to create a thread every time I try a new strapmaker, but what started as a Hey, the shipping box branding is cool grew to this packaging is pretty ridiculous especially at this price point and finally became OK, I'm shooting this thing whole hog.I'm impressed. The well-presented shipping box:With even more killer packaging inside, as each strap had its own carrying case, smaller strap case, and certification card. Again, at the very reasonable price point that Kain heritage sells these straps I am pretty blown away by the presentation here:I actually became worried as I opened the final case containing the strap. The pessimist in me screamed that all this fluff was potentially trying to disguise or justify a substandard product, and I'm very glad to say that I need not have worried. The two straps I purchased were true to the colors as-represented on the Kain Web site, and their fit was new-strap-slightly-tight (as u

White ss skyd, pull the trigger?
