I used to have an almost identical Kilimandjaro in blue, but it was badged as a Revue. Badge engineering at its finest

This one has Revue Thommen crown and it came on Revue bracelet.. Probably common model.

Vintage Double Rhomb. Export model with proud "Peking. China" on dial. Together with its biggger brother... Probably the loudest alarm clock ever...

1959 Hamilton Electric Converta with the 500 movement. It's a Converta I or II, but with the IV bezel. Full blog post here: http://watchcomplications.com/2018/03/3 ... -converta/

Without being certain what the original bezel is like, I like that one. It sets the watch off nicely, compared to a more usual plain bezel.

^^^ The original on the Converta I and II was a plain gold bezel, no marks. I went for the steel when offered a choice knowing it was probably the one from the Converta IV with the marks, so this is a unique combo. I'm liking it
