Nice to see a couple of Dornies in this thread so far . . .

Quite lovely, Sir.
GO today -- not unusual (twelve of my seventeen watches are German -- of which, nine are from Glashütte).

Only three in my possession pre-date the millennium.

Not ever worn, but partially renovated and fully serviced for sentimental reasons . . . .

Great shame. Polite and knowledgeable (unlike my experience of WoS) service. And, service that you cannot get in a brand boutique -- I was able to try on a Lange 1 and a PanoReserve next to each...
Dave, you are quite correct. When a humble watch starts to cost the price of a half-decent car (or ventures further into the realm of a house) you have to question the sanity of this hobby.
I take...
They really do make them in sets. Fascinating to watch.

Don't think it matters.
I went to WoS at Liverpool Street last week to try on a Polaris.
Spoke to two nice sales people, who looked at my watch (Dornblüth) but had, unsurprisingly, never heard...
I posted my "Grossmänner" a few years ago -- but some other possibilities come to mind . . . . .
Almost certainly -- "Subskription 3a" by Jochen Benzinger . . . . .

Because I'm a member of this august forum, and don't want to be perceived as a complete misfit, I own a (solitary) desk-diver.
Occasionally, it gets worn.

Bought (then two years old) in a very agreeable deal with a most amiable member of this forum (sealed with coffee together in London) just over four years ago.
Not one second of buyer's remorse,...

Luckily, we are all different in out tastes. For me, watches are jewellery and 60% of the attraction is the watchmaker showing me the art of his movement. If it is not visible, it might just as well...

I think I have several in my collection which will be recognised only by those in the depths of WISery: Stowa, Moser, Benzinger, Grossmann . . . . .
