That's an amazing find, John.
I continue to be stunned by the NOS (or nearly so) pieces you manage to locate and obtain.

Have you made the trip to Lengnau?
Congrats!

...It was during a period of acquisition of some amazing things...late in 2003 I got the RGM TZLE (on my wrist today) and the Benzinger I wore a couple weeks back. The 222-E was in the works in 2003,...

As you pointed out on IG, John, that is quite an interesting pattern on the NSA!

Lovely selections, chaps.
This week I am sporting another of my custom pieces with vintage PW movements...

My RGM 222-E, the first left-handed watch they ever made:

128537

Agreed...lovely acquisition, mate!!

I'm sporting an old friend...now aged 21!!

Sorry for the small image...my best photos (those that were not lost in the demise of Fototime) are on a different computer

Hi John,
I have not seen that case back before...and would not expect it with a round bezel!

Some 1980s-1990s DS chronometers were referred to as deluxe, but they would have had 8-digit reference...

I'll take a look, John.

On a related note...15-20 years ago (at least) I saw what appeared to be a CC Mk I on eBay, but it had a Baylor dial. Very similar to a CC dial, but the anchor was replaced...

I wanted to share something with my friends here:...
A few weeks ago I was chatting with some jazz musicians I know about playing a standard jazz tune and a Steely Dan tune, which share the same...

Hi Peter,
I do not have either of these at the moment, but was seeking confirmation...do you seek the Chronometer DS40 from 2002, or the non-Chronometer (2004?) model?
Brad

My choice as well. I hope Frank is enjoying the pristine black Marstron I sold him several years ago...they are such cool watches!

My week included this hefty rarity:

127952

John, If I recall correctly, these used RADO movements, not Certina, is that correct?
I suspect they were entirely built by RADO and the only Certina involvement was negotiations. :D

So cool also to see other things going on in your lives. Sorry the pooch experiment had to be abandoned, Scott. Hank, it's great seeing the photos. Makes me think back on my only visit to Sint...

Wow, the rarest of exotic Rado watches with Cartier printed on the Lapis dial. What a unicorn!

Wow, you folks have shared some stunning pieces this week. I cannot choose a favourite.

As you may expect, from my own collection I've been favouring the new "Thrifty Fathoms" Swatch but also wore...

It seems they have taken inspiration from the MoonSwatch and made a lunar "ocean" model. I have to laugh: someone called this line the "Thrifty Fathoms"
Good one.
...

I finally remembered to put the Swatch on the timemaster machine...
and it has a very difficult time hearing the movement. I suppose the bioceramic case must be a very good insulator. The first...

I'll be glad to post my thoughts once I have experienced it a bit and in different circumstances. At the moment, with the unusually cold weather, I am so layered up that I hardly notice I am wearing...

YES!: 44g (1.5 ounces).

Thanks!

I have something else on the way as an option that lowers the height and shows the back:
(I suspect it will weigh as much as the watch)...

Actually, this arrived over the weekend, but I was away from home, and I've been getting used to it for a couple days, but I'm quite happy with it. I've yet to test it on the timing machine, or to...

Nice variety of colors, for a model we don't know intimately. I'll look at my list of names, but don't recall that one off-hand.
I am inclined to guess that it was a regional model...maybe in South...

I see nothing, on initial inspection, that suggests yours are not genuine. Everything from movement to case, bracelet and crown appears in order.

I saw one of these advertised on IG and thought it looks lovely, but am concerned that the date is unreadable (40 mm case, so...maybe a 2 or 3 mm date width?) and there is VERY LOW contrast among the...

sladew, If you supply a Reference Number, I can potentially confirm what Model Name went with it, provided it was made between the late 1950s and early-/mid-1980s.
