    Love this Sicura. It's got a funky chrono that constantly runs in minutes and resets with the only pusher. Is there a name for that kind of movement? I have a Rhula that does the same, but the chrono hand is running seconds that resets.

    Thanks. It's easy to read the time. I don't know much about this watch, but I've seen a number of similar-looking examples in the few years since I got it.

    Going with a vintage Doyle Silverhorse sub. 200 this week. One of my favorite watches, came from a Hong Kong seller on ebay years ago. The pictures and listing were less than great but I took a gamble and I think it paid off. Didn't spend much on it and it's a killer IMO.
    Today he's on a vintage Swiss genuine Perlon 2-piece strap 'coz it's hot as blazes here in Monrovia

    Really nice. Thanks for sharing! When the opportunity arises, please be sure to get a movement shot as well.

    Cheers!
