You sea some nice seagul pilot’s chronos with a display back too. I quite like them but they’re maybe a bit small.

Having a collection of modern and vintage watches, you soon get used to the size differences.
Yes sticking a 60's chronograph on after wearing a modern divers watch looks strange, but after a few hours you don't notice the size. The converse is also true, you stick your modern sized watch on after a nice old vintage one and it looks ridiculously massive for a while!

I believe it's issued to the Czech Air force around 1938.
In house lemania movement.

If I paid that much for a watch, it would annoy me that the word Automatic is off centre...

That is a thing of beauty and hand winding is great. It really gets you involved in your watch. Love it. How much in 2010?

Strange, maybe a photo effect , it doesn’t look it in real life, and you got me enough I’ve just had an eyeglass out on it !

Ooh. That smarts. Sorry, that's smart. Beautiful piece even if not my taste. Looks rocket proof too.

Have a look at the "Swiss made" lettering as well.
That looks a bit shonky on the photo as well.

You may as well say you don't think it real surely?

I paid £145 and got it from someone on a watch forum. It was slightly odd because they were quite difficult to get hold of at the time and this chap through trying to get one from multiple sources I think, somehow ended up with two new unworn 1963s, so he sold the spare one to me.

Yeah that's not great, not that it's an issue I'll ever face, they do say if you want to enjoy your watch never look at it through a loupe.
