    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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? :eek:

    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!
