I'm just going to assume T-to-the-B has exquisite taste in watches and was referring to things horological when he made that statement :shock:

Andy

A big thank you to all of you. My watch habit will sadly comprise purchases on a rather smaller scale for now. It will take a long time to replace my beloved Milgauss and anything from Stowa will...

This is something I must do. I have seen so little from the 1700s in terms of general engineering, never mind chronometers. I'm fascinated by the idea that in the 1700s people had the tools to make...

Nope. That's all copyrighted by me. POA. :-D

Andy

I only ask because I'm back on my horological feet and the first watch I want is one that I actually want back. I know that on here we're a pretty tight-knit bunch and watches do the rounds and end...

And hopefully this time it's to stay :-)

I'm sure the forum has survived despite the absence of my vast daily contributions but some of you may have noticed the rather cyclical nature of my...

For me it would be a used but well cared for Milgauss with black dial. And after a year of saving I would just have it serviced, pocket the change and carry on. I really like the Milgauss

Andy

Probably already been said but I think that shade of blue clashes with rather than compliments the dial. The nato is spot on because the watch is quite workmanlike. If you're busting for a blue strap...

And no sale :shock: Sometimes I just don't understand eBay. How are such bargains not snapped up?

Andy

Two minutes to go and zero bids. Everyone using sniper software perhaps? :scratch:

Andy

You just have to keep the dial. How amazing would that be with a decent set of hands? Please do it. Please...

Andy

Yes and no.

No it only measures in the forties
Yes because the absence of an external bezel (internal bezel instead) exaggerates the size of the dial

In reality the watch is most sensitive to...

Ah but polish it and you have a flawless Milgauss. Polish the Subs and well, you still have two Subs* :D


Andy



*Unless you polish really hard

Just wanted to add a vote of thanks for this thread. Another great one on TZ. Sad to say my Carrera made it to about 10ft and that was it :oops:


Andy

Sweet Jesus! :shock: 8) 8) 8)

Thank you so much,


Andy

Oh bum! This is depressing news. Oh wait, that's one less Heuer to spend my lottery win on. I'm kidding myself but in my mind there's an upside to this whole cyclops thing...


On perhaps a rather...

Yep similar - like this:

I actually downloaded that photo when you posted it the other day. Some of these watches are...

Dammit dammit dammit! I'm just getting used to this 'one watch' regime and people keep posting about Heuers. Seriously though this example seems markedly different with respect to the case. I didn't...

Another vote for the collection pic. More importantly - dear God how do you unearth these gems? I know these timepieces are aesthetically very pleasing but when you describe their rarity and yet...

I'm hearing a lot of financial comments. Is the real problem that you're worried about resale and routine costs like servicing? To me it sounds like you have a watch you like so much that you almost...

Not quite. The eagle eyed among you will have spotted the discreet date aperture. It's a bit mean to keep people guessing because it has no white border ;) Look very carefully between the four and...

You really know your stuff and that watch seems just reward! Did they do the same model without the cyclops? If I saw that I'd faint. The detail you've picked out is wonderfully shown in your photos....

Done and done.

Andy

I like this one apart from having a date. Bit different to anything I've seen. Maybe it's just the cyrillic writing :)

Oof! One presumes you're referring to the eroded numerals. Hate them too...
