A lazy SOTC

[happyscrappyheropup]

I’m waiting on my next appointment, figured I’d play with watches to occupy my time. @geoffbot asked for a SOTC, so here’s a single shot of all but a ‘69 Astronaut that needs service.



From left to right…

• Nienaber Stundenzeigeruhr 37mm
• San Martin skin diver 38mm
• Yema Flygraf M2 39mm
• Benrus DTU reissue 39mm
• Glycine Combat 7 Vintage 41mm
• Glashutte Original Senator Excellence 40mm
• IWC Mark XVII 41mm
• Glashutte Original Senator Sixties 39mm
• JLC Polaris 41mm
• Zodiac White Wolf 40mm
• Wempe Tonneau
• Clemence Photic 39mm
• Yema Superman FrenchAir Force 41mm
• Zenith Espada 40mm

Really happy where I am and generally not looking for anything but I may sell/buy some micros this year. I still need to service the Zenith and Black dial GO.

Nice mate. You have a type! Military/fieldy classic...

Field/pilot and vintage styled divers are most of my watches. I think the Nienaber, Senator Sixties, and Zenith are the only watches that don't follow one of those styles.

From San Martin to high end, I love it!! Great collection!

Lovely collection! I noticed you had the Nienaber on a sales thread. Very tempting, trying to resist. But I suppose that means you think you have too many?

Neat watches, my aesthetic watch preference closely mimics yours !!!!

Very nice collection! But as Robert asked, why sell the Nienaber? Too different?

I like nearly all of them, and I don’t dislike the others.

I love the watch, I don't enjoy wearing it. It may be a by product of wearing extremely legible watches, but I have to work hard to see the time and the rotating seconds disc may as well not be there, I can not see it at all. If I'm going to wear something when I get to be less active, I have too many other great choices I truly enjoy wearing that don't get daily wear.

If it sells or trades, I'll be happy to see it worn by someone.

Well, I already have three of Rainer's creations, which is enough for me...plus 37mm is on the small side for me anyway. So the field of play is clear for you, Robert!
