Somehow, that went slightly wrong. Here are the Grand Seiko 253 pics.
Sorry about that.

So that is 38mm, 39.5 mm and 43mm. Now, on the wrist.
So, first up, the smallest, Grand Seiko 253, the current recreation of the original sixties design. Elegant, spare, beautifully finished and polished. The only splash of colour is the 18k medallion on the back.20180115/9d804b1f7d876a1d5182ad01b0243dfe.jpg[/IMG]
Next, quite an unusual Omega, from the Museum series of limited run productions, based on designs at least 50 years old. So this is the MD 10, a doctors watch and chrono. I bought it off SC just because of the looks.. Unusually, this is a manual wind Omega, although it features a modern co axial movement.
I enjoy this watch quite a lot.
And finally, the IWC Portugeiser ...FA Jones
Produced in 2005, this features the older, manual wind movement, derived from a pocket watch design from the 1930s. Lovely looking old fashioned movement.
It runs at 18000 bph, and has a steady, slow, beat. All three wind well, but the IWC feels glorious, smooth as butter.
I chose them because I like to switch watches often, and a no date manual is useful for that. The dials all being white is to emphasise legibility, a test they pass well.

Nice trio.
Have you ever tried the Dornbluth?
It'll be right up your street.
I am thinking about that. There was one on SC.
Brilliant post. Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t seen that Omega before

No guesses where this was taken. And , from the sublime , to the ridiculous. The rear end of our new aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth. Quite big really. Portsmouth Dockyard, today.

i love the GS !!!!
Three lovely watches, any one of which I would quite happily have. The GS is the pick of the bunch for me.
The omega for me is the pick. Simply stunning! *starts the search for one!*

All very nice but it’s the IWC for me.
That IWC looks huge . Does it feel big on the wrist?
