A little small for modern day tastes but I still wore this for a few days this week

A lot of the Alpines are pretty small, but the good ones have a ton of charachter and presence.

I had a New Green Horse for years. It was even my default watch for a year or two.

I am picking your Manchester Sapphire this week.

Here are some of mine this week.

I'm a particular sucker for the New Green Horse. I have a 50s Longines Conquest being restored that is an echo of this Rado.

Great week Slade, I'm with Scott in choosing your Kriens, we don't often see them and that's quite an unusual dial too. Look forward to seeing your Longines.

Hard to resist the 1, 1/E chronometers.

Cheers Hank, it's one of those watches that sits firmly in the Goldilocks zone.

As always I'm temped to choose the KonTiki but I'm going with the new kid on the block this week, it's a piece of classic vintage Rado design.

Thanks Tim. I agree that it's a classic Rado design. I never thought I'd be looking for one for a decade but it was worth the wait.

Absolutely!

I will not pick the Sintra this week. I'll go for the lovely old chronograph.

Cheers mate, I searched for a Valjoux 7750 for so long. This one isn't perfect but it wears its scars proudly.
We're both big fans of the Balboa Deluxe and this is a beauty.

I'm not saying I wouldn't happily have a nice new one, but the 70s chronographs look good with a few dings and scrapes.

Cheers mate. I still miss my onyx dialed one, but this one is pretty nice and it's stood in fine stead for the first one.
