It should have the ridged hour markers and flat 'V' to be a Derek Bell.

Can't help you, but I do like it. Those lugs aren't something you see every day...

Nice Autavia, but not a Derek Bell though.

The 2446C looks great!

Well, even Omega themselves admitted that in the original's advertising campaign :-)

My vote go to Grand Seiko models with the asymmetric dials and spring drive models (as the PR again makes the...

For tonights party and drinking the poor man's PloProf: Squale Tiger.

Really? I have an original and what first grabbed my attention to these was how well the handset worked, I love them.

I haven't seen the original and this one side by side. Don't know how much...

Germano & Walter already make a Deapsea homage since a few years, this is mine:

Maybe not to everyone's taste, but a fun watch and...

I must be getting old if the ones on their site are already considered old school!
Some nice vintage pieces in this thread though! Here's my contribution:...

OP: Please remove that 2nd Carrera from the original post. Horrible redial!!

Plenty of choice between Autavia's and Carrera's, but they're both very different watches (and size).

Beautiful movement! I've always liked te look of microrotor automatics.
Though I keep thinking it might look better with blued hands...

Also for me a new arrival: 910 flightmaster

Two Nymphs? That's impressive! They must be almost as rare as the Graph, no?

ok, but there's only a few of those PVD ones out there. Good luck finding one of those if you can afford it (the one at the Bonhams/Haslinger auction sold for nearly $75K). Or do you mean the TAG...

Notorious bad quality of 70s gaskets and equally bad quality blue paint means stripped paint at the edges.
Also appears on the gray ones, but their paint seems to be a bit more stable. Although this...

Nice catch with the GMT! One of my all time favorite Heuer's!
Paint on the hands looks very bright, especially that GMT hand (that'll need to be reset at the service too).
Hope to get one as nice...

Very nice! I like those pushers too. The dome pushers on Breitlings are a huge turn-off for me..if only all Breitlings had these! I'm sure I would have had a couple already.

Congrats!

ps:...

Me neither. And that's my favorite bond movie!

Looks very nice indeed!

Any news yet on the Squale book?

Nope, you did understand all right: it's rare has provenance, and that's where the extra 25K comes from.

Nothing to worry about. When you look at the bidding times they're all just seconds apart. I read somewhere this is how it's done when you're placing a bid on ebay using their mobile app.

Not for me I'm afraid.
Why? As others have said the size of the PR is too big. It looks well presented in these shots, but when the indicator is not at 42h it won't look as balanced. It one of the...

The tachyscale has rotated. 60 should be at 12.

Don't know - looks pretty good to me. For sure it'll be true Heuer, not redial. I'd be more concerned about having correct combination of hands and tachy scale on these.

Here's a close-up of mine:...

I like the look of them, but I'd never get one as a collection piece, as many (if not most?) are all made from part bin leftovers.
So very few will have prove of provenance.

Until a couple of...

Thanks all for the nice comments!



I feel they're still very reasonably priced at the moment. In terms of collectability the pre-TAG is the one to go for I think. Especially if you can find one...
