A couple of recent acquisitions. I seem to be back on large watches again and am now on the trail of the 5001-07 Portuguese Auto....

Lovely 5002. Transitional? I had a real dilemma between the 5002 and 5004, love them both. Is that the OEM strap? I really like the different stitching on each end and can't see any taper.

Just curious Greg, what is the purpose of the datewheel displaying three days?

Also, I'm assuming (correct me if wrong) that those are OEM straps. Can you point me in the direction of a good maker? I would like to get a deployant for the 3717 I'm soon to purchase, but not willing to fork out the hundreds $$ for it!

Thanks. It's a first gen with original strap.

That's seriously Nice. I have a pocket watch relative in steel (the fob is silver/bakelite, also 1940s):
