    My mechanical chronographs.

    I just got my cream faced paddle handed Sekonda 3017 back from repair recently and realised I had now had quite a few mechanical chronos now, thought I would take a group shot.

    Kev, it only took me 3 years to get fixed up

    Nice group of chronos!

    The black dial Sekonda might be the best-looking of the lot.

    A very well-chosen gift that must mean a lot to you.

    That Speedmaster is lovely.....but can't help but be drawn by the white faced beauty at the back, can't make out the manufacturer though.

    Bloody hell Jase is that my old one on the blue canvas? I pulled that out of my parts box thinking it was rubbish

    Hopefully the repair wasn't a second mortgage (missing a pusher when I sent it to you), but I've seen what the paddle hands are fetching these days, well worth restoring it!! Makes a lovely pair with the black dial sibling next to it.

    The black dial RLT on the left is a super clean watch as well, love those.

    Cheers Kev, well, it wasn’t cheap to fix by any means, but you let me have it for a great price so overall it’s probably a break even, but that’s not the point sometimes, it meant one less lost to a parts break up, in fact I had to get a part from California to make it happen so that’s dedication for you!
    Cheers..

    Nice collection Jason , I'm guessing those rally straps are Pavs ?
    The last watch show one of the sellers had a Sekonda chrono black dial very tempted , didn't know about the different style of hands .

    Cheers, its a great looking watch, the close up shot doesn't show the vertical brushed finish on the dial that you can make out in the group shot, I love the blue tachy scale, injects some extra colour.
    Cheers..

    Some lovely watches there Jason.

    I love a mechanical chronograph too.





















    An old pic.

    You had one of those Jase!

    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Cheers Bob.

    Neil, of the three, I recon it was the one on the right, the middle ones bezel is rougher than the one I had and the left one has a different bracelet. Probably nearly 20 years ago that was.😁
    Cheers..

    You are right Jase!

    The middle one is a 321 and the left hand one is a 30th anniversary.
    Cheers,
    Neil.
