Their modern watches seem to me to be a bit 'meh', but I was looking at some of their older stuff and for a chrono vintage dress sort of watch thought these very nice - in-house movement, manual, chrono min/sec/hour, moonphase, day, date, month (the little pushers on the side are for adjusting the date etc which makes it easier to set if it runs down between wears). Prices go from about £1,000 up to £3,000 for the gold ones. 1940's/'50's era. Nice complicated watch.






This is apparently an Italian Railways issue watch, very nice and plain but subtley different...



Anyone got an UG? (jonbaz, surely....?!)

The first one is cracking IMO. I'm sure the others are nice too, but the first one really appeals to me.

I've had a few.

Tri-Compax is well up there in the pantheon of classics.

Polerouters just lovely. Cloisonne dial versions huge money now. Microrotors are fab.

Deeply regret moving on a Unisonic I picked up NOS for beer money a few years ago. So fresh it could have come out of the factory that day, and very, very, pretty.

I'm a fan.

Love the twin crown Polerouter Sub, one of my all time must-haves.
