    Autodromo Prototipo

    I think I really like the Autodromo Prototipo.
    What do you guys think and what version (blue, orange) you like most?

    I like them all but prefer the red. I've been sorely tempted but already have a couple of Heuer Montreals. Excellent value though for a new watch with interesting movement and classic styling.

    I had an orange one. Nicely made watch that wore well. I principally bought it to try the movement which is interesting. I had it a couple of months or something,but I got bored with it and sold it on. That said,it is a very reasonably priced watch for what you get so I would say go for it.

    I ordered myself the blue one. Also want to add a SS bracelet to it. Who has suggestions what kind of SS bracelet suits the Autodromo Prototipo best?

    My Autodromo Prototipo arrived. Switched strap to a black rally strap with red stitching, to match the red details on the dial.

    good choice:) I like mine a lot and was impressed with the case finish for its price. beautifully simple watches with a great movement choice.

    They are superbly finished for the money.

    Interesting movement, great size, design, high quality straps.

    I can't knock them. They clearly take their design influence from many 70s Chronos especially Heuer but they have a very individual feel and look to them.

    I get many comments about mine.

    I've had the Orange one and currently have the black and red which they no longer make. It was replaced by a black and blue one which I don't think works as well as the original

    I'm a fan

    You could try an NSA bracelet, I sometimes wear my Heuer Montreal on one, I'm not certain but the Autodromo looks like it has 20mm lugs which is a common size for an NSA. Something like this?

    Nice watch - I was tempted by one, but then I backed the Helgray Silverstone on Kickstarter and that uses the same movement. Do you mind if I ask what you think it is that makes the movement great?

    thanks

    Nice one

    Personally the Orange hue is my favourite. Just been to the web site, nice collection.
