Received this yesterday - NOS Raketa Copernicus. Only 35mm but suits my small wrists rather nicely. Love it.

That Pogue is brilliant.. my birth year too. Trying to get fit so my scuffed up Apple Watch is getting some use again. Figured how to get non-standard faces on it too smile

Maybe the 'one watch' I've been looking for... robust enough for every day and every job, but with just enough complexity to amuse.

Well, eBay has lots of them if you don't mind buying a tarted up watch with lots of aftermarket replacement bits, for a premium...

I would look on the For Sale forums on SCWF and WristSushi as a starting point. Alternatively, like Red from Shawshank Redemption, I've been known to locate certain things from time to time... so may be able to help find one for you. PM me if you have an idea of what you're after.

bazza.

Got this one on Saturday going to be my Monday to Friday work watch, as usual the strap is a bit to small for me so I have a Toshi strap on order.

How do you like it?

I was looking at these recently... not convinced it's for me, but I really like the design.

I really like it, the design suits me well and its a bit quirky, telling the actual time is a bit confusing to start off but you soon get used to it.

The only thing I found a little odd is the hour numbers as they only go 00 to 12 I would have preferred 00 to 24 but its okay. The box it comes in is nice if a little large, my good lady tried to pinch it for her jewelry - no chance.

Bought it from Goldsmiths with a "free" watch winder which I don't really need so that goes on eBay shortly.

I bought a Lime Green strap from Toshi as the supplied straps are just to short for my wrist, so will update the picture when that arrives.

I'm also a bit of a classic car lover so it just general does everything for me, I also have a Tag Vintage Monaco for best so I guess the car theme continues.

Some more shots of it would be welcome. smile

I've just purchased another watch - and am one space short in my watch winder. If your free one is any good, I'll buy it from you. PM me....
