The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Part II (May 2015 - Sept. 2018)

My wife thrifted 100% of this and did not even text to ask questions. Give the girl a thumb if she did good. One stop.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Yep, she's a keeper.

Speaking of vicuna. It took 3 years but today I found it (only 10% though). Dated 1953 and no moth holes.

Never posted this before. Trash find that my wife painted and I reupholstered (my first attempt)

That's also not true some of them have the lemania 873 movement also found in Omegas.
Look up Breitling Chronographe

Everything I said is true. No point in arguing about this really. The 1873 is a lemania movement used by many companies including omega and Breitling. As far as I know, it is in ONE Sicura, an anniversary edition. This was not an in house Breitling movement and Sicura shares nothing with Breitling other than the same owner. Other than that one watch, Sicura used EB and Baumgartner movements, which are bargain bin movements. Like I said, excellent styling, but as watches they're pretty meh.

I have no idea where the washing machine stuff comes in. Just a Quartz watch, but the face is pretty big actually. Like 42 mm or so. Marked 1990 on the back, but I have no idea what it was from

Found exactly the same coat as the one I posted photos of and picked up tonight. Mine's a 54 and slightly big on me. How did a Swiss military coast make it to Chicago?

Have any of you guys heard of 'Renoma' coats, allegedly made in Paris and sized with European sizes? I have a size 100 topcoat style one here - gray wool/wool blend/cashmere? - no content tag, no other country of origin tag. Feels luxurious - highest quality merino wool or finer - but with a nap to it like a mohair coat. The buttons say 'Renoma Paris' also. I haven't been able to discover what fibers they use in their outerwear.
