![]() ![]() ![]() Roamer was originally one of many brands produced by Meyer & Studeli (MST), who gradually grew from being a small supplier of parts/movements to other companies before creating their range of cheaper cylinder movement watches for the mass market.Īs they grew, they invested more in developing/producing their complete watches. That is when I discovered Roamer watches. Hopefully, with a historical pedigree as well. I liked the idea of having a few different watches, so I decided I’d need to do a bit more research to find future buys at a reasonable price as well as being authentic. The watch had the correct Tissot movement, though, and worked well enough. The watch arrived (from India !), and even my novice eye could detect a less than brilliant re-dial. I’d heard of the brand and was aware they had a long history. Then one day, I managed to break the mineral glass crystal on my cheap Pulsar and decided to browse the web for an affordable replacement.Īt the time, I was on a vintage razor collecting spree.ĮBay seemed the go-to site for old watches, and despite my lack of knowledge at that point, I pulled the trigger and won a nice enough Tissot Seastar from the 1960s. Until about three years ago, I’d little interest in watches – either modern or vintage. ![]()
