I go on holiday in a week and due to a bad experience some years ago I've decided to leave my higher end watches at home.
So I was looking for a piece in the 拢200-250 price range, something I'm not afraid to get wet or beat up a bit and this bad boy arrived this morning.
Sumo time....
For the price I'm absolutely delighted, it's a lot of watch for the money. Bracelet feels a bit cheap and nasty but, hey, it's a minor issue. It's a big watch but wears well. Very satisfied.
Mine Matra says hello (by the way this matra model was my very first watch, a gift from my father when I was maybe 7. I lost it many years ago but was Lucky enough to find another similar one) :
Wow, I'm envious. Loved Matra in F1 - the rivet work on their chassis, the first JYS championship and the fabulously noisy V12.
An older brother (1953) for my Memovox family! This one is a reference 3151 with a 489 cal. It's the stainless version of the Charlie Chaplin Memovox. Got some debris floating around the dial so it's off to the clinic but not before a brief family reunion.
I love the lugs on this one...
And the family reunion photo. (And yes, I have a major weakness for the Memovox). Need to stop.
