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.Later today I'm picking up a Steinhart vintage Red (Sapphire Crystal) Another watch I've owned before.

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

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

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.

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.

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...
