Your ZRC is the modern reissue I assume being so clean? Pretty cool watches, they really have their own style.
Yes, mine is a special reissue with round cyclop date window at 3 o'clock, developed to fund an Artic Expedition to Resolute Bay that took place in 2018.




They really do have their own style. Thank you!

Posted previously as I purchased this piece as a gift for one of my daughters and she loved it but obviously not enough as she has just purchased an Apple Watch 🤦
Upside is I now have the Slava back in my clutches, ok! as far as cost goes it is as cheap as chips but it is immaculate with great timekeeping and perhaps best of all it is fun 😁
Expect a wrist shot soon.

So she's out of the will now right?... accepting applications for her replacement? 😜

Thank you! It has been a long search. The early Geneves are tough to find in excellent condition. Beautiful watches. I love the rose gold arrowhead hour markers and the seconds subdial.

Picked this up a couple of days ago for £5.00 from a vintage / bric a brac shop where I go to look for old vinyl records .It just caught my eye and thought it might be a nice little watch for my grandson. Got it home and while having a better look at it realised it’s got a nice bonus of a original tropic sport strap on it .

Now, that really is a bargain!

Just won this 1970 Accutron Astronaut Mark II "E" from an auction. I believe it is 100% original as shown on the catalogue ad below.





Auction Photos, watch on its way...

Sinn 556i, hits the sweet spot of size, style legibility and accuracy for me and is a very well put together piece. Well chuffed!

Picked up my first luxury watch (Speedy Pro) exactly a week ago.

Now I find myself looking at reviews of Aqua Terras......

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? 😲

Hi,

My last buy it's a quartz.... But she's perfect at my eyes and complete my 2020 huntings 😉

That thing is wild! Very cool how they tied in the bezel to the small links. Looks to be solid gold rather than plated, is that right?
Cool find, and nothing wrong with adding a quartz. Enjoy!
