A new addition to my Constellation collective and a version that I had been hoping to find for a long time. This RG 2853 first crossed my path 6 months ago and it has taken me that long to wrestle it from the previous owner, whom I think only actually sold it to me to put an end to my relentless irritating persistence in the pursuing of this piece 馃榿

It's beautiful!!!! Looks great on rose gold.
I really like that model the only thing that beeps
Me from buying one is the size. I find it wayyyy too small.

This aviator (presumably RAF) 30T2 came today. I can't believe the condition. Can anyone help decipher the case back engravings for me? In particular H.S. I know what the broad arrow means, natch.

Edit: H.S. stands for Hydrographic Survey, as a helpful enthusiast at mwrforum just informed me.

Technically, I bought this almost a month ago, but after an extended layover in Chicago, this just arrived today.
It's a little gem of a watch.
I'm loving it.
Thanks, @ConElPueblo

I have, since several years, a shortlist of watches that I would like to own. This was no4 on that list.

Very pleased with it. Earlier I have rejected all specimen with diamonds on them. But on this one I felt that I could live with 2 stones placed in odd positions! Onyx dial, ref 18038, 6,0 mill serial. I got the bracelet too, but will wear it on leatherstrap 馃榾

This dial is quite beautiful. I've seen many many pictures of those, and a few "live" examples, have a 6B/159 (same type of watch, but air force ie "Air Ministry") which is considered in excellent condition as these go, but this creamy patina is just lovely.
Congrats!

not exactly a watch, but close...found this nice pair of Heuer Autavia Dashboard Timers, and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived today in like new condition. (sans all the dust in my photo)


Is there a vintage sportscar to go with the Heuers?
