Check out this unique watch

[ChilinInTime]

I always wanted one and now I finally found one! Havent seen many of them and I dont even know much about it. Maybe one of you can fill in the blanks. I call it a pop up watch, its made by the Circle Watch Co., Im assuming around 1950's? Anyways, let me know what you think, and if you have a similar one, please post your pictures and tell me more about it. Thanks!
p.s these pictures are borrowed from the guy I bought the watch from, I hope you dont mind

I have seen the golf watches, but those seem to have clips in the back rather than the lugs. example below:


My watch is a smaller watch too, about 31mm in diameter. Well, I think it might look unique throwing a band on it and wearing it on the wrist. when I do, Ill post some pictures.
thanks for the reply.

His is small too and its made so you dont have to bend over much to see while on the belt.

Ahhh, I see. Thats actually not a bad idea, it frees the hands from the watch weight so you can swing the club better, I suppose. I dont play much golf so I might just do the band thing and see how it turns out. If you ever get any pics from your friend, please post them, I had one heck of a time trying to find more watches like this out there. Thanks!

I will email my friend and see if he has a picture to send me.
Neat watch.

Check this one out, just found this picture, the owner says that it is meant to be worn on the side of the wrist! I want to wear mine on the wrist, any suggestions as to what color/material band I should get for mine? I was thinking of this same color or lighter brown.

New pictures of my watch, temporary band, Im looking for an aviators band with the rivets/screws that will hold it in place, I think that would fit it good. Thanks!


Sorry about the hairy arm... well, not much I can do about that

What do you mean? you mean that it doesnt look like it belongs on the wrist? Ive had a couple of people say that, but the ben hogan was meant for the belt, but it used the clips in the back. Unless mine was meant to have a belt thread thru it, I dont know what else it would have been meant for. Its small enough for the wrist, but without any original ads that advertise the watch, I have no clue. Well, its a mystery for now. Thanks!

I believe it was made to be worn on the belt, looks weird as a wrist watch.

And a watch worn on the belt isnt wierd? I know what you are getting at, but I guess we will never know until I come across an ad for these unique watches. Im going for the wrist watch look for now, I like weird and unique watches, so if it looks weird than I made one cool purchase! Thanks for the reply, love hearing everyones opinion, glad I joined this forum.

Different is good, i am all for it.But watches are worn in so many ways, that is the neat thing about them, variety.
