I bought the same watch from Overstock.com. Watchbands.con has a leather Hamilton Aviator strap in stock. I agree the NATO canvas band is garbage. Nice strap! The Hamilton Khaki Field Chrono is a...

Take off the strap, put on a long chain and stash it in your pocket. It does have a vintage pocket watch movement after all! :lol: :wink:
John, the case on the Zeno Mechanique also looks polished. I still can't get over how beautiful the case looks. Whatever other flaws it may have, that should be a lesson for high end watch brands on...
I know what you mean... a Longines CAF just went recently on eBay for $3,000 - in mint condition. I don't know the value of the Lemania.
Good find, John! I think Felix Huber and Zeno modeled the Mechanique, not after the Longines but after the Rolex. So its a homage but not exactly to a specific carre 30s watch design. So after...
Congratulations! Wear your watch when it arrives in happiness and good health! :D :)

Eddie has one hung up as a small clock in his work shop :wink: You have to have Arnold's wrist to wear one. Its a really BIG watch at 55mm.
Today, my Precista Italian PRS 20 LE arrived at my home. Its a beautiful watch and I'm just fond of the blued screws and nice hands. The lack of a logo on the face sets its apart from other watches....
Massive? :shock: It?s only 40mm.
Anyway, congratulations on your acquisition. I think it is the angular design that makes it look more than it is both in terms of substance and quality. I...
No argument there, Eddie. At the price point the Retro Carre is sold for, there had to be certain compromises. For those who looking for an ideal CAF homage watch, it has to be like the original. You...
$1350?? I paid less than that for mine from Eddie. I wouldn't be surprised if it fetches up to 2 grand on the Bay. That's still a bargain compared to an Officine Panerai. :wink:

Yes, mine does have a smaller font ... not only that but in real life the printing of...

Totally original dial and in perfect condition, as is the entire wristwatch.
Due to its very solid and rugged design...
Good idea Eddie; a broken mainspring is why my Plasmir Milgraph never gets wound up. If you're using a screw down crown, there must be something to protect the mainspring from getting broken. There's...
Thanks for that, but I'm really after the one with the smaller font, like the one Jon has or has.[/quote]
I don't know if such a model exists or if its a trick of photographic composition when...
Someday, we will see a ton of posts about the "legendary" Precista CAF! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :twisted:[/quote]
Don't you mean "mythical"? :lol:

That's really high praise to Eddie and Fricker for an outstanding job. For them, it was a labor of love. I think, if I may say so myself, that I don't think you will find a watch like this anywhere...
I don't know. I do know RXW supplied the Marina Militare Watch with a screwdriver for changing the strap. So it takes some doing. But I've always had a dealer change straps for me and once I found...
The supplied Banda straps are good. I outfitted a Banda to my Rotary Elite 200 Metres, which is a Panerai homage watch, so its a good match with it. You can't really go wrong with the supplied straps.
Congrats, Phil Lee on your acquisition. I also was left off the reserve list and was able to obtain one of the four! I didn't ask for a number as I like a surprise. I also have a small wrist and...
Buenas, Angeche!
Welcome to the forum. Well... yes. It is true that copying is the ultimate form of flattery. However, what . The question is, where do you draw the line what we are dealing with...
I like the watch. I think it hasn't been made now that Zeno Watch Basel came out with a faithful homage model. There is a Longines mint CAF for sale on the Bay now but at $3,000 - its a rich man's...
Congrats! Eddie will be shipping one to me here at the end of the world!
