Solid collection with nice Smiths and Precista examples.

Looks like you have a style preference though at least with hands and dials.

Hi Wimm
Small one is an Oris date pointer hands-free and larger one a Parnis. Both were about £50 , the Oris sometime early 90's , Parnis 7 or 8 years ago.

I like the IWC Mark XI lookalike. What is it & what's the diameter of the case?

Hi Trident-7
It's a MKII Hawkinge ND and is about 38mm not including crown.

A few nice micros there as well. How do you like the Dan Henry?

Hi Fraz01
Yeah I really like it , it's the 40mm one , I was going through a "Compressor" phase at the time!
They seem well made for what you pay for them though Lume not brilliant compared to my Everest
and the pip on rotating bezel has very weak/non-existent glow. Lume issue maybe to do with the vintage
colour which I think I've read somewhere can diminish the strength of the glow.The rotor is a bit noisy but I think
that is the case sometimes with NH movements ( unless I'm just unlucky). I find it very comfortable
to wear , might be it suits my wrist size.

Thanks Mick, I particularly like the Parnis with the blue on the dial. Works very well.

Forgot this one! , I know MWC aren’t favourites generally, but my MK11 stylie one was my work watch for about 4 years ( fairly physical and prone to knocks) and never had a problem. This was to scratch the itch.

What’s the compressor top left?

Also what’s the 7734 top right?

Nice selection 👍🏼

Hi Wolfie
The compressor is a home build , a guy on International Watch League MWC thread built one
from a case , dial and hands kit which you add a movement (Churchy forum handle ) so
I thought I would give it a go! Cost about £200 all in I think.
The Breitling is a Chrono-Matic which dates from early '70s and was my first "high-end" watch I got in
the early '90s.
Thanks
Mick
