Wow, thanks Iyonk and Henry - very striking examples, both of you!
Iyonk - I hadn't appreciated until seeing them together the different characters of those two Monsters!
The sunburst dial and contrast bezel make the second one a whole different watch
Henry - wow!!
Your usual fabulous photography and those delightfully stylish Louis Rossels and Rados!
Again, the model variations are further reaching than I thought. I *love* the ones with different index materials and shapes, particularly this pair - they could be a day-evening pairing. Sublime!

....Ok, carry on....
You have a valid point. With one exception. In my opinion the 7624s are wildly different. Despite the size and case shape the early version looks a lot like a typical 60s dressy sports watch. The late version...
