Hi Styggpy, greetings to wonderful Stockholm. Two years ago we visited this beautiful town by ship. As for the 3 watches, they are all great, but most I love the Seamaster Chronometer 168.023 Reiner
Very cool watches.. I'm going to be different and say I like the middle one! But, of course the chronometer has a large piece of me too!
Thank you all! And Dablitzer - there is a way out of your predicament. The one in the middle came in a chronometer version. I would love to have that one - in the same condition as the one I already have... The only difference is mine being cal 752 and the chronometer version being cal 751 (and the vital addition on the dial of course). Here is a stolen pic of the one we are after: Here is an old pic of mine on the original strap:
Thanks Stygg - I think I will try and find the aforementioned watch. I'm not sure it will ever be in the condition like yours though!
This thread is talking about chronometers. There's nothing to operate, it's just a watch that's been rated to be very accurate within chronometer specs (which is -4/+6 seconds a day currently according to COSC). Chronographs have a stopwatch like feature with separate dials to record elapsed minutes & seconds and a large separate second hand.
I need a forehead slap avatar....I knew the difference between a chronograph and a chronometer..just didn't follow the conversation correctly...thanks for giving me a shake.
S'alright. I frequently give the reference number for a date version when somebody asks what the day/date watch's number is, or vice versa.
This also may deserve a forehead slap. The advertisement watches have "chronometer certified" on the dial, photos above lack this wording on the dial. Clarification...please
The watches of the time often came in two versions, ( different reference numbers of course) one a standard caliber, one a chronometer rated.
Thanks Steve. Looking at the 3 watches above, I thought the middle one was referenced as a chronometer. I see the chronometer certified dial is on the right.
