Thanks S. Most DH's had plated brass cases, so tend to wear badly, Doxa were one of a handful(Mimo, Longines, Zenith) that produced them in steel. It's very nice quality steel too. The case brushing...
I understand that alright S, though I look at them as swords into ploughshares. I'd be uncomfortable wearing an issued mil watch from another country's forces as I've never been in the military(Dad's...
+1000. He'd dead right about the whole fashion, emotion, desire and the herd mentality. And lack of logic involved. Nothing particularly wrong with that either. Goes for many areas of collecting.

I've a few Talon LIP models. This one from 1975 using their in house designed quartz(and the only one I've seen with a silvered chapter ring). I also have a near identical LIP Dugena branded one....
Lovely double sunk enamel dial on that one DA. :eagerness:
Oh I'm liking them, especially the Marvin. :eagerness:
I'd be similar to your young lad in this RD. The very reason I got into "old watches" when I was a kid in the 80's at the height of the digital watch craze was that I found it very difficult to read...
An uncle of mine has a Blancpain FF he bought in the 60's while on holidays in Spain or France. He has it on an old spidel expanding hair catcher. He didn't know what it was or what it would be...
That's a really elegant watch GC
*green eyed monster arises. With extra drool* :eagerness: In my humble that design is one of, if not the best and purest divers out there.
I caught the watch bug early because my dad collected watches himself, which was fairly oddball at the time. :) So I'm lucky I have a couple of his.
He got this in the early 80's. I remember it...
Similar to a bonklip alright Alfat, but same era German made with expanding links(and a lot cheaper). Can't recall which one, but I was watching a documentary on the war in the Atlantic and noticed a...
1941 Doxa DH for me today. HAGWE :eagerness:

+1. I've seen that very watch of C-B's in the metal and it's a lovely piece of kit. Serious quality going on. Not a shock as at the time these were the latest thing and the most expensive items in...
Aren't too many of these still running these days.

Very hard to find. Took me many years of looking. Though recently I did find another for a chap...
Oh I remember that name. Mainly because he's one of the very few out there that would even look at a Longines UltraQuartz.
Nice repair on the box. Back in the 70's on holiday in France, for her birthday my dad bought my mum a near identical pendant watch like that Mappin, only it's branded Stowa. The only visual...
Nice. :eagerness: Where did you get it serviced R?
For general use, even nights out where drink may be taken :eagerness: this one is usually my grab(wind) and go watch.

1941 Doxa DH. It's small so...
Best of luck in your search Dualmonitors, but I suspect you'll be searching for quite a while. As I noted earlier: This dial design although prominently featured in their marketing at the time(72)...
Never liked Mercedes hands on a watch. The very early Subs with the straight hands I like, but for me the one is the Milsub. Lovely watch.
...
Great result! TimC. :eagerness: Nice job from Brendan. Lovely job with the case and the dial too(just noticed it's a double sunk dial. That's better than average quality. Niiiice). It's fantastic you...
My school had a suite of Apple II's from 1980/81. One of the wealthier parents had ponied up for them to get in with the clergy. A 20th century indulgence of sorts. As it turned out, for his many...
I've a few LIP's(which sounds odd to type :D). They're a brand that always appealed to me, as French watches have. My very first watch was bought for me when I was 8 while on a family holiday in...
My one.

Second series type with the extra French colours. :) Which also came in brown shades like unclealec's later example.
The one in Paskinner's first...
