Beautiful Autavia, I would have loved to buy your Baby ploprof.

Later today I'm picking up a Steinhart vintage Red (Sapphire Crystal) Another watch I've owned before. I seem to be going around in circles at the minute, compounding to me that I'm too hasty with selling watches on to try another.

Still loving the SM300 Matt. I'm giving it a rest in favour of my Speedie today, but I really have lost interest in most other stuff in my watch box at present.

Both absolutely beautiful, but the diver is particularly fantastic. Congratulations.

just (finally) ordered the Mx-5 of watches, the SKX007.. cant bloody wait for it!

Much like an MX-5, everyone should have one. Mine needs an outing - haven't worn it for months but saw it staring at me forlornly from the watch box over the weekend.

Had this on since I got it a few weeks ago. Picked up from a specialist Heuer site and wanted one for years. Something about the vintage gets me every time.

Fantastic. I'd really, really love a Bund but the values have gone a bit beyond me. They don't seem to have a big following here, but I love them. Nice work.

Who did it come from - Heuerboy, Jasper or someone else?

well after a few months of deliberation between Rolex Deepsea and this which all started from wanting a new strap for my last PO.

Very nice. I do like the bezels on these new POs.

[Stuart]

Nice additions there Sinclair and Andy. Self giving is the way forward...

Walked past the shop while taking the good lady shopping for her birthday and had to have it.




Happy New Year.

Pretty nice impulse purchase!

Just today done a deal on this (sellers pic)



So "a couple" from the current collect will have to go.

Absolutely perfect 1665 Andy. The grail watch for me, no doubt. What year is it?

Arrived in yesterdays post, very happy with it, not in the same price bracket as many on here but a lovely watch for the money.
Stowa marine automatic, Med brown croc strap with deployment

Great choice. I have the MO. It doesn't get enough wrist time, but whenever I wear it I puzzle over why on earth I don't remember to wear it more often. In fact, it's coming out of the box tomorrow...

I've wanted one of these ever since I tried the black faced version on when they were first released. Now that prices are a bit more sensible it would be silly not to

Lovely. Do you mind me asking (ball park) where values of these are now?

My first incoming for a while -


(Sellers pic)

'86 Issued Sturmanskie. Stamped last quarter '86, so a little bit older than me, probably issued around when I was born.

Movement pic for those interested (Sellers again)-

Nice. How big are they?

Picked this up yesterday.

I've never really thought that one watch might be enough, in the sense that only one could tick all the boxes, but this comes pretty close. If it had more than 50m water resistance, it might well be a candidate for the 'one'. The thing you never appreciate from photos is just how faceted these are. There are flat planes all over the watch, and the bracelet glitters like a disco ball when it catches the light.

I've spent hours looking at the movement through the display back too. This really is a keeper.

Lovely, congratulations. Nice pics too. Any chance of a movement shot?

[Stuart]

This for me. A couple of PHers managed to snap these up when Dominic put them up on Facebook, but this is a NOS 60s watch, recently discovered as part of a small batch lurking at the back of a safe. I really like it, it was dead cheap, and I shall be giving it to my wife as a present shortly....

Ta. Just waiting on the hamsters to deliver it.

Any watch related PMs to Pod come through me first. You know, just in case it might be something I'd like.

I've given up caring about the clasp on my PO.

I just let it get scuffed up.

I tell myself it's "character".

I'm the same with my Speedie. Patina.

Dornbluth. The IWC merely looks similar to a Dornbluth. Everything else about the Dornbluth marks it out as streets ahead.

A recent addition to my collection. Mint condition SD 16600 with lug holes

If I may say so, with that and the Autavia, you're displaying exceptional taste.

Another day, another Sinn, another Lemania

Lovely. I can't believe I missed this, and the seller has edited out the price. Mind me asking what the (ball park if necessary) price was?

If you ever decide to move it on, I'd love it.

Just a later one; there were three main variations, the first was a 5012 powered one (no 24hr dial) with grubscrews made from about 1981 (mine), the second was the one which is perhaps the most common/widely known which is powered by the 5100 and had the 4 grub screwed caseback also (as per the Heuer Bunds) and the last version was the later 156 featuring a screwed caseback, this was discontinued in 2003.
There were also other slight variations like the use of the 'MILITARY' script,crown size, minute chrono hand tip changes and luminova/tritium dials.

Interestingly fliegzeits seems to have the one with the 1/4 second markers (most had a 1/5 sec markers) and also given the date of purchase may well be the screw-down caseback version, so the last of the variations; however that's just a guess without seeing it. Generally the 4-screw caseback is favoured.

Interesting.

I really love all of these Bundeswehr designs. I'd really like a Heuer Bund, but for the money they now reach I'd probably be inclined to have an Autavia first...

CraigVmax said:

have you seen the Bund on tz at the moment ?

The one with the bodged dial repairs?

Nice enough, but I'd prefer a T dial. I actually prefer the dial layout of the 156 the more I look at them.
