I prefer the GS. Looks like my 1968 Omega Seamaster.

It's a beautiful watch. Classic simplicity and manual wind even better. There are so few manual winds out there it makes a nice change to have to keep it going.

I'm tempted but I never come...

Unique case design and eye catching dial. Congrats!

This B&M from the mid-90s is very elegant and practical with a unidirectional
bezel, screw-in crown, water resistant 100m. (when new), high quality
comfortable bracelet and quartz accuracy.


...

Chrono certified. Nice. What year is it? Current?

It is actually interesting. Comparing my hearsay to a systematic study. Thanks!

Nice solid design. I'll have to post photos of its Black Horse cousin.

Still time for one last contribution. My manual wind NOS Gubelin..

Wearing my 1986 RAF SEIKO today.

Both Omega and Longines had such case designs in 1937-38. But perhaps prevailing tastes and WWII meant they were put aside and did not re-surface until 30 or so years later.

Love that case. RADO never lacked design flair...

The 'Disco Volante' or Flying Saucer case design was used in many subtle variations. I have seen a SEIKO whose case design is similar.

Not heard of Melbourne before. What beats inside?

I like the frosty dial.

Not see very often. A rare bird indeed.

SEIKO Ref. SKXA47

Amazing case polishing..

Wow! Cool kit. I've always liked Heuer timers and chronographs and Omega, Minerva etc. etc.

SEIKO Diver. Can’t go wrong.

Another favourite brand of mine...especially vintage.

I like this too!

Good looking Zenith. I like Zenith as a brand. I have a couple I will post.

I'm thinking of wearing this CAMY. It has an aluminium 'racing' bezel and that late sixties look.

A trio of valuable brands. The Big Three. All worthy. But above all else they are heirlooms.

I bought this NOS Longines a few years ago. With the hands stopped for decades the radium left a shadow on the dial but it runs as good as new. Not bad for 84 years!

Omega and Tissot issued...
