Not a watch, but quite an early catalogue from 1952 with some great pictures of some interesting references

Was your funny bone surgically removed at some point?
If I wasn't a fan, I wouldn't have made the connection.

I think Michael commented on Larry probably not being a fan, not that he himself wasn't one 馃槈


@Larry S - In the "Fawlty Towers" series, one of the characters is a waiter from Spain named Manuel... He's from Barcelona. A bit of European cultural history, that is 馃榾

Sinn 104 white dial
That looks good. I've never seen a countdown bezel. Is it made with a specific sport or activity in mind?

After a fair few false starts, I have finally gotten myself a black dialed Constellation.

Got this in the mail today. Pleasantly surprised at how new it looks and seems to be accurate after a two hour run test.
Its remarkably light. Nice old school cross hair sub dial.
Very neat if sparse dial. I've found zero information on this one so far. I'm figuring its a low end Swiss pin lever, what was once called a "Dollar watch".
Size wise I'd place this in the Boy's Watch category.
