    I can't pick a favorite, it just wouldn't be fair...there'd be some sort of mechanical uprising

    Currently it would be this, although the blue dial Zurich is still being kicked around in the back of my head.

    Cheers,

    Hanhart produced some iconic chronographs for the Luftwaffe during the 1940s and 1950s. The above pickie has been shamelessly stolen from the web, and shows a quite early one.

    They're still around, and produce some modern interpretations of their classic designs in bigger sizes to suit the modern wellfed wrist.

    Very true. Before I owned the one I posted below, I owned this behemoth:

    It uses a V.7751 variant.

    Note the asymmetrical pushers. That is something Tutima could not do when I bought this fellow. Make no doubt this is a big watch.

    I eventually traded it to get a Tutima Flieger which I traded to get the Hanhart I posted below.

    Cheers!

    Similar to the first Hanhart I posted. I looked and looked and looked, but this is the only picture I could find of my Tutima.
