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

Great find and a fantastic looking classic chronograph Dave.
I have a soft spot for Lemania. Strangely enough even though I have watches with their movements but not a single one which would 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.
My contribution would be a less known or popular Breitling from the era:

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...
Pretty much my thoughts.Good tactics, will ask to specify what exactly is needed. Thanks.I understand but who on earth is reading small prints... I double checked that DHL is covering watches on...
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.

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?
Of course the package was lost...
Absolutely! It's simply a nonsense name for plain old plastic invented by marketing. Just my two pence.

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've shown some self restraint (if that's the right definition?) and no expensive watch purchase for Xmas. So I went for a cheap and cheerful Timex Q GMT, which is a great little kit except its...
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.

Just like when listening the news…
Reliability is not an issue I guess. My understanding is that it is based on the 7s26 workhorse.
I have an SPB147 with the 6R35 and it's very accurate when worn since day one.
Although it had to be...
Faux spotting? Really? I mean really?
I must be too old...

Good to see another Yema on the forum!
Let my Superman join to your Navigraf:

Similar here.
I was considering to switch from my 44mm PAM915 to the 372 mostly because I appreciate the 1950 case.
I tried to research how it would wear in comparison to the "Bettarini" case....
Since you most probably start any of them by winding up the manual would be my choice.
Auto movements are not necessarily designed to withstand regular manual winding and it could lead to early wear...
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.
Here is my spb147:

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.

Not easy to choose as having quite a few candidates from the mentioned Eberhard (with 5100 on top) to the likes like vintage King Seiko etc.
However my safe bet would be the French Yema Superman...
I agree on Nomos as the most sensible choice here.
Since you already own a Longines have a look on some of their modern heritage models.
I find the Heritage Military 1938 a handsome contender:

Couldn’t agree more. I’m shocked how easy to manipulate the masses.
Especially knowing that “sustainable” does exist for long time in the watch industry.
I can’t see how a product which can work...

Porsche Design chronographs are overpriced in general IMO. Therefore second hand market is a good option here.
I used to have the Eterna version like above and it looks really good in real...
