What do you think? Latest purchase....

[angeche]

I bid on this and won it, but not sure... What you think?



The movement is nice, a Pellaton



And the case is a monoblock:



and with a nice profile



I made the bid without really thinking about it, and I was not expecting to win....So not sure....

Love the blue dial, but it's not something I'd wear personally.

[mark996]

I love the look of that, but it's hard to judge the size; any chance of a wrist shot?

[village]

Ah..well..that all depends on what it cost :wink:

I like the look of it....good,70's styling. I wouldn't wear it personally because i don't tend to wear dress watches.

[Viking72]

I like that, but that may be my OWC bias. Sort of reminds me of the Speedy Mk. II case...

Not until I got it! :blackeye:

Not bad, 670 euros or less than 900 $...

The blue star burst dial looks superb and that along with the retro design just give this one a great overall look.

[Optimum]

Looks a corker. I'd wear it!

[futon river crossing]

Really like it - mesh would make it outstanding !!!

[london lad]

Very nice and quite cool too.

[Routers]

Not generally a fan of blue dialed watches, but that one looks really cool.

[shabbah]

Not something i would wear, but it does look in lovely condition.

[monogroover]

Definitely of its time, but very nice. I'd certainly wear it, but not on that strap. A brown leather one would transform it in my view.

[neebsta]

Cool - looks like one of those really nice rounded pebbles you would find on the beach!

[Henrik Gelardi]

Not bad at all - I absolutely adore the blue color of the dial, and also very intrigued with the mono block construction. The make or break for me is the size - what are we looking at here ?

But overall - very nice !!

[learningtofly]

Lovely, with a classic movement.

[tenpasten]

I love it, particularly the blue dial.

Here it is in the 1972 catalogue...

Austin Kaye have a silver face one for sale at the moment but the blue dial makes it far more interesting in my view.

The crown doesn't look original but the movement is a beauty.

[hank]

Very nice,blue dial looks cool!Be lovely on a brown strap .

[dutchgray]

I think is lovely, good looks, beautiful blue dial and slim handset, not to mad considering its from the 1970's. I would wear it. :D

My next purchase is going to be a vintage dress watch and this just hits the spot for me. Dial colour, case, movement. Just fantastic. I'd stick with a black (possibly croc) strap or maybe find a matching blue strap.

I'd wear this to work on a regular basis too

[JimH]

I like it, great movement and in excellent shape.

I love it. And all the fear about blue dials? C'mon, what about these?



and these?

[100thmonkey]

Nice, bit like the Omega Dynamic but alot nicer in shape

[IANAN]

Absolutely love it, a superb design!

[tribe125]

It's terrific. I'd take it over the one that Austin Kaye has.

[mark a.]

That is lovely. I'd like one.

[timpaland]

The blue dial is lovely, as is the rest of the watch! You got it for a fair price as well I must say. Congrats!

[Neil.C]

Not a fan TBH.

I think IWC's should be rather conservative and that is quite a shouty '70's style with a sucked toffee case.

[t72]

Nice watch a bit too 70's for me though!! I think the best IWC is the pilots UTC which I had in Platinum until finances dictated otherwise, lol!!

[s67]

well done, i hope you got bargain

[Daddelvirks]

This really is a lovely piece José.
Great looking dial, and one of the finest movements ever produced 8)

[Horologos]

I really like it. Great looking watch. :)

[robcat]

It's funny how styles come back around - the dial colour reminds me of the latest Nomos.

Great find!

[Sinjjchoo]

Don't have any blue dial watch yet, but this pcs look great.
Pls post some wrist shots when you have it.
Hope you have a good bargain.

Daddel, I think I bought it because I loved the Pellaton movement.....

You can say the same about JLC of the same period. You can feel the strain in the effort to be modern. :D
