You do surprise me Edited by andy_s on Saturday 16th February 09:37
Really liking that one, some great detail. The bevelled bezel, domed acrylic, different styles of sub dial hands, the hour marker pips, blue/black combo... yup, very nice indeed.
ETA the ring with the blue numerals on it, is it cambered to mirror the outer tachy scale?

I know, I am honestly making efforts to try other things, I picked up a Val 230 the other month and hopefully a 3019 EP later in the year...but I have quite a few holes still to fill Lemania-wise

I'm not sure if the chapter ring is angled, I don't think so but will find out soonish. There's a slight offset to the chrono minute hand (as you can see) but according to the current owner it gains only about 10secs a week, which is quite good.
I've been offered an issued Heuer 510.501 but already have a standard Heuer 510.501 - so I may actually sell a watch soon

I really, Really dont get those PP
That one is like a 70's watch
Don't get me wrong, I love a nice watch....but to me that is £££ worth blinding the watch in general
I am glad it is not just me, and I would really like to know why I am missing something. I like looking through threads like these, and even if a particular watch isn't my "cup of tea" I can usually see the appeal. But these just leave me cold. They advertise in The Week regularly and I was stunned when I looked up the price of them. That one is like a 70's watch

Agreed. Nice from the back, dull and very 70s from the front.That one is like a 70's watch

My money would go on a Panerai Luminor Marina.
Arrived a week or so ago, just found time to get the camera out:
Man this thing was difficult to photgrapgh. The crystal made lighting and focussing on the dial a nightmare. I was working so hrd on that that I didn't realise I should have cleaned the watch. In reality, the bezel has a mirror finish with no marks, and the crystal too is without belmishes. Not bad for a watch from the mid 60's.
