Picked this up awhile ago, I dont know an awful lot about it other than its a Victorinox Swiss Army – 24464 – SAF F/A 18 Chronograph, what makes this one a little rare apparently is that it does without the Swiss Army Cross as 3 o'clock, instead it simply says 'Swiss Arm', this model was made specifically for the UAE Market and online its supposedly collectable.. I don't know about that but i do really enjoy wearing it, it has a Valjoux 7750/Date
Its 40mm which surprisingly to me doesn't appear too big for my wrists, its fairly heavy but i do enjoy wearing it
I know it's the photos, but now I have a hankering for a purple faced watch Its 40mm which surprisingly to me doesn't appear too big for my wrists, its fairly heavy but i do enjoy wearing it

Bought this one owner PD01 7176S Lemania a couple of months back. The patina is perfect. It’s got this lovely creamy lume. Even PVD wear with no dinks or damage.
Ideally it could do with a service, although keeps time to an extent lol. The crystal does have some scratches so ideally that would be replaced.
Lovely back story as well. The previous owner worked for Porsche in the 70’s and 80’s and was given the watch. He gave me the full story written up with some late 70’s business card and the case.

Nice, I love B&R stuff and the 46mm versions are rare beasts!
I regret not picking up a 01-92 when I saw one for half-price in a clearout sale years ago now, and the 'thin' minutes hand now on the 03-92 (as opposed to the original 'sword'(?) hands for both minutes and hours) does not appeal!
EDIT: Wait - your favourite B&R?
What other ones do you own?!
I also have an original Phantom (the black on black) and a red radar.
