I'm trying to find one of these in a quartz right now (with applied indices) without much success. I had a grey dial one before, but I suit a lighter dial colour.

Yes to this. The design is a proven winner, is it not?
No logo, no date, perhaps crisper print consistent colouring between the numbers and the lume, and perhaps a fraction slimmer if possible?...
Trashy?
They don't suit all watches, that's for sure, but watches from a certain period or some divers suit them.
That one from retro watches looks the part. Is that 3mm thick?
The Staib ones are quite expensive it seems.
I'm really looking for a specific recommendation rather than just a brand name. The...
Can anyone recommend a fine mesh bracelet (or heavier milanese if such a thing exists).
I have acquired a Max Bill Auto and would like to try a fine mesh rather than a milanese.
Suggestions?
Interested in this, too.
Over time it's bound to make the old version more desirable in the pre-owned market.
I didn't know that.
New one looks terrible in pics at least.
Potential there.
Shame about the hands, imo.
And that's the same with a lot of what they do. It's nearly there, but details are added or neglected that throw the aesthetics out of balance.

Thanks guys.
I've definitely bonded with this one. Love at first sight :)
That's so poorly executed it's almost hard to take in.
Even DC looked bored.
Your dad owned this from new and you're selling? I'd sell my laptop/computer/phone/books, first, but that's just me.
Not sure I'd describe it as understated, but it's certainly lovely :thumbsup:
A Portugese is definitely a good shout.
I also love the Nomos Zurich. I think it's quality, beautiful, and timeless in the white face version.
Congrats by the way. :thumbsup:

That blue auto is gorgeous. I'm not sure if it's just the novelty of the blue dial on this design, or whether it really is nicer, but it's very cool looking.
I'll need to get the tripod...
Thanks for the comments.
It's not the easiest watch to photograph with all the polished edges to the batons, etc, you can easily get a distracting reflection. I'm sure some of the proper...
Thanks guys.
Yes, the auto is just way out of what I allow myself to spend on a watch.
I was tempted to get a Grand Seiko quartz, but I'm young, relative to the dinosaurs on the forum (only...
Just for the benefit of others who may be sending one off parcels out of the UK, the site linked above seems to have worked a treat.
I ordered the delivery this morning and the courier (Fed Ex)...
Well, I've been on the hunt for something that fits my needs, lifestyle, and tastes for some time now.
I've been through a few watches on the hunt, but now I think I've caught one that won't be...
£2000?
Is this not the same watch that was/is on SC for £1265??
I've just come across: http://www.p4d.co.uk
They don't seem to have any issue with sending watches, according to what's prohibited (at least, certainly no issue with insuring for loss, though...
I think one on SC went for circa that price not too long ago. Have a search.
I asked my buyer and they don't mind if I send it uninsured:eekskull:
I'd prefer to know we're covered, though.
Sounds like a headache, lol
That's helpful.
Is Fed Ex insured if you declare the value?
Do you use it in conjunction with RM?
Appreciate the responses.
