    Some nice watches in this thread. Not to forget how unique a real aged dial can be.

    I hope it too. With such a heritage the brand absolutely deserves it. Beautiful watches, especially the chronographs from the 50s-60s.

    Now that is lovely.

    So far my understanding is that the patenting process could take a couple of years even.
    Therefore watches marked with "patent pending" were actually commercialized before the actual patent was...

    My impression was that they want a proof more from a legal aspect than a physical proof that I'm posing with the watch on my wrist. I may be wrong though. Thanks for the input anyway.

    DHL lost my watch, advice please

    Long story short. I sold a vintage Heuer ref. 13-1 on Chrono24. First sale for me on the platform.
    Package was sent from Germany to Italy. What can possibly go wrong?

    I think so too, but Timex decided to go with their own design which is not bad but the polished details looking cheapish somehow.

    I used to have a ref 12 but sold long time ago. Now I have a similar black ref. 13-1 with Valjoux 7765. It's not gonna stay as I simply don't want to scratch the rather nicely survived PVD coating.

    Reliability is not an issue I guess. My understanding is that it is based on the 7s26 workhorse.

    Similar here.
    I was considering to switch from my 44mm PAM915 to the 372 mostly because I appreciate the 1950 case.

    Now that is a decent Certina diver!

    Same time I'm surprised Seiko mid range divers weren't mentioned, or I just missed.
    I guess they are within budget if bought second hand.

    Yes, Panerai would be an obvious choice.
    Their reworked 8 days manual is now free of the early issues and the power reserve is fantastic.
