Flieger today . . . Of course, such a thing has to come from one of the five original B-Uhr manufacturers -- this is Stowa.

Manual wind, Scott? And, if so, the Unitas or the Synergies Horlogères?

Fabulous watch for the money -- and, after you have worn it a bit, the accuracy may improve (not that I'd worry about 6 seconds anyway!). Enjoy

Well -- those doubters who told me this is probably the wrong forum seem to be right. Not a sniff of interest over the weekend

I like a person interested in etymology

Probably my most-worn watch . . .

I think it would indeed be easy to sell, Nigel -- but that's not the point. It was a gift, so it's going nowhere. Also, everybody needs a beater.

Not likely to happen Davey -- one is more than adequate.

While I do really like your colle Just a thought (as you know that I think a GO can go) -- but why is three from a manufacturer other than Rolex generally regarded as too many, when many people try to have a large selection of Rs?

@Jonesinamillion This lovely obsession is all about personal taste. So, if you consider that you have "nailed it", you have. What next, stamp collecting? Nice collection BTW

Birthday today -- so I am wearing the watch of Mordor. Benu Power Reserve in rose gold. 41 x 11.65mm. MG Kaliber 100.2, manual wind.

Didn't buy it. It was a gift.

It has come unscathed (or, at least, still working) through three or four incidents of excess of confidence over skill in each of motor sports and downhill skiing (+), but the lume dots fall off, the cyclops isn't directly above the date, and the deployant is a tinny disgrace (-). Very robust design, poor execution.

I have my ski dramas in my DJ, which some here would define as a dress watch, (and do motorsport, and garden, and work in the garage) precisely because it's bomb proof -- if a little shabby on the details.
