Baltic do a two-register chronograph within your price range, ST19 powered. They do refer to it as bicompax, but if you can stomach the terminalogical inexactitude it might be worth a look....

This entry from the 1959-60 Heuer Catalog shows what seems to be the same stopwatch apart from some dial text. The Heuer Hundred Second Timer is described as being especially suited for Oil...

Montredo for example openly list this as "How Montredo Works" - https://www.montredo.com/en-gb/about-us/ and they're a very successful grey market site.

If you haven't read it already you might enjoy checking out the blog of Anordain, a newish Scottish microbrand who make their own enamel dials. Lots of detail regarding the thrills and spills of...

Gorgeous watches even if you'd just bought them without knowing anything of their history, but to have that family connection to them makes them truly special.

Not a fan either, but at least it's better than Sinn's concept of wearing a mechanical and an Apple watch simultaneously on opposite sides of the same wrist -...

Thanks, interesting reading.

There are ups and downs from year to year, but on quick viewing at least, it does seem to bear out the commonly held view that the use of 'limited editions' has...

I find it difficult to understand what's in it for Chronext. Before becoming an official online Nomos AD they sold new grey market Nomos for 10-20% below mrsp.
Now they sell at mrsp, but Nomos...

In a world where ADs are under such pressure from greys and direct online sales, one of the main justifications for using them is the ease of getting things resolved if there's a problem during the...

For me, if I miniaturise those images down to about the size of a watch at normal viewing distance, the white one requires a double take to spot which one is the GMT hand. So on legibility grounds...

I've never seen the white dialed one in the flesh, but solely based on your photo its the one I'd get rid of.

Since you mention liking an unfussy dial, how would you feel about a one-hander? The Meistersinger Lunascope falls within your budget.

Montredo are still offering discounted prices, at a level similar to what Chronext had until recently.

Nomos have several model families (Tangente, Ludwig and Orion at least, but possibly others) that have 33 and 38mm variants in that price range.

Those hand engravings are very interesting. I've got a Waltham watch in a very similar looking A.L. Dennison sterling silver case (my case is from 1918). I've had it for years but only recently...

miros-time.de have a few different types of NATO, G10 is their base class and is I think what you're looking for.

Thanks also - recently benefited from this, having discovered it in a WUS thread that credited this forum.

Any idea how much it would really be worth?
