    Retro

    The old man is going through a retro stage.

    Would love to see some examples.

    Currently has a Panerai and JLC MCC2

    Cheers all

    I found this watch the other day in a store in Dallas. At 38mm and with its "aged" lume, this watch has an interesting retro appearance to me. Of course, your mileage may vary...

    The watch world is dripping with inflated back catalogue repeats, as design departments all over lose their imagination. Check out

    Tissot PR516, Visodate Heritage, Powermatic 80
    Longines Legend Diver, Silver Arrow, WWW, 1940, 1951, 1954 models
    ML Pontos Vintage diver
    Orient 40th or 60th Anniversary diver/dress
    Glashutte Senator Sixties, Seventies dress/chrono
    Breitling Transocean, various
    Zenith Pilot/1969 chrono, Espada
    Ball Skin Diver (£££) or Timex Skin Diver (ppp)
    Most of Hamilton's 2013 line-up

    That's a range of £45 to about £8,000, bound to be something in there that suits!
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    Think the Longines Legend Diver is a good shout - a really fine looking watch IMHO :)

    Nothing wrong with retro - Here are mine - starting with the Zeniths ;)









    These are pretty retro too





    And this was retro when it was released 15 years back

    Lovely Zeniths, those, especially the Pilot (which being a bit more charitable, isn't ashamedly retro, just pilot-inspired).

    I don't know whether I like the cushion case shape, which seems very much of its time. But even Citizen is rehashing it now (stolen from the ever-accommodating rakuten site):
