Your guess is as good as mine. In all my searching, I have found nothing about who may have manufactured this.

It contains a Lorsa 238, and is quite nice overall.
😍 Wow! Beautiful watch......never heard of Ringo either. I guess a lot of those vintage brands were something like yesteryear's version of the obscure microbrands of the present.

Thank you. It's a favorite, even though it's a bit on the smaller side.

This brand was originally called Pete, but that name was replaced before it took off.

Watchpalooza, is that one of your treasures?
Not yet. Working on it...
Reached an agreement with a seller here in Germany. The piece looks really good and comes with the original bracelet (ultrasonically cleaned) and 1yr guarantee. Dial is untouched and shows a little age where one of the lines has faded. Some photos attached. Excited to add this one to “my treasures”!

This one also looks stunning to me...if I knew more about Seikos I might have one.

And since I’m on a roll, another one from my watch list...have nearly purchased this watch three times. Yes, that is a Valjoux 7733.

Please don't let the idea that you don't know much about vintage watches keep you from posting here. I don't know very much either. But you only need two things to contribute here; some level of appreciation for vintage watches, and an ability to post images. Also, while it would be great to learn something here and I hope to, I'm also very happy to just mindlessly stare at visually appealing watches. So if you happen upon any, please share!

Is there some tool out there that will "like" every post on this thread for me? Cause y'all are making me work a lot harder than I like to on a Friday night.

She’s a real beauty! Had no idea you had one. It was love at first sight for me, but the first one I saw was an obvious redial. So i went on the hunt. Happy to join the club.

Not a photo but rather a sped up video from Instagram of a Vulcain MinStop. More cool photos of MinStops in the Unusual complications and features thread HERE.
