I am up making the first brew, with an eye on working through some emails. Unfortunately my overtime is unpaid, so I'm stuck with this: 76 Timex Sprite, as per the first 'proper' watch I received as a child. But those go-faster straps are not just for show, they really work! Gains about 30 secs per day. Which isn't bad. Paid the usual premium for a 19mm strap. I like the retro domed crystal, reminds me of something from the Jetsons cartoon. HAGD21 points

Morning, This Miramar today, with its 17j AS 1287. Assuming it was made by Fabrique d'Horlogerie Miramar/Miramar SA of Geneva, then 1950 is the earliest registration date of the “Miramar” brand given by Mikrolisk and that seems to have become accepted as Miramar SA’s own founding date. However, and perhaps more appropriate to another long-running thread in the Free Talk forum, this vaguely unsettling advert claims a date of 1925 - which doesn’t appear in Mikrolisk at all.

Today's pick, one of Parnis' stunning original designs. I mean, what self respecting Swiss maker would use a lightning bolt second hand! ..16 points

On the BHI course I was on the instructor raved about Bremont watches. I had no experience of them, but took the plunge on this The anthricite dial is excellent. My only bugbear is the lume pip on the second hand should be a few mm higher, between 12 and the top of the Bremont logo. Runs okay too16 points

Morning, Today my freckled 36mm Nivrel, a 1936-registered sub-brand of Marvin and driven by a variant of the 17j AS 1188. This one probably dates from around 1950. Marvin themselves lasted from about 1850 until the 1970s but the dormant “Nivrel” name was resurrected in 1993 by Gerd Hofer GmbH of Germany whose versions bear the legend “since 1936”. Some of these modern examples can be yours for over £40k and are, needless to say, unrelated to the vintage brand. Regards.16 points

Morning, Today I’m going with this DOXA auto from 1960, driven by their 17j Cal. 115 derived from an ETA 2451. Despite being rather fond of vintage (pre-Sub) DOXA watches, I don’t recall having seen another one with this almost deco-ish style of numerals and batons on the dial. The brand was popular in Poland and other Iron Curtain countries, with the Swiss makers seemingly having contrived some sort of trade deal with the communist authorities. However, this one was bought from sunny Portugal a few years ago. Regards.15 points
