A while back, I started a thread about the various cases that Titus recycled, mostly with esa 9162 movements in them, and who originally manufactured them.
Titus reference thread
The first example was this blue-dialled, square cased model with an integral strap...
Until last month, I'd not seen anything like it from any of the manufacturers who I could find reference to, who made esa-based hummers.
Then this popped up on ebay...
It's a Roamer Sonic 300 case, dial and handset. Not sure how common these are, but I've searched for ages and only found passing comment to Roamer as having 'possibly' made a hummer.
Unfortunately, I asked Keith to cannibalise the movement in the Titus version a while back to repair my Seamaster SMf300, so it looks like I'll have to use one of the replacement movements from my watch box to get this one running again. I'll also need to find a Roamer-branded or plain bracelet clasp to replace the Titus one on the bracelet, but it'll be an interesting curio for me anyhow.
Some more pics follow...
