    the two in the middle are mine, and recently sold the modern one and keep the vintage for me... it is ladies model but fits my Asian wrist, so from time to time I still wear it :) :)

    I never understood why watch companies switched their "midsize" to "lady's" several years ago. I mean, a 35mm to 38mm watch was NEVER considered to be intended for a woman, yet several companies - including Omega (see the 37mm PO) - deem them that. I think the between sizes should just be called midsize, or even unisex, like they used to be. Roger Dubuis makes a stunning rose gold Excalibur in 36mm and 43mm, but they call the 36 a lady's watch. ::confused2:: I guess they don't realize they're alienating a whole group of vintage collecting men who prefer sub-40mm watches.

    I call the ladies model the third, vintage one :) ... my Asian wrist fits maximum 40mm, and looks best with 34, 35, 36... I also don't understand that trend "bigger is cozier"...

    I had no idea either, but zoom in and you can read "Corum" engraved on the bridge of at least three of them.

    they are Corum Golden Bridges, late development incl. automatic one, which still keeps the one-bridge design, and automatic rotor is made as vertical pistons...

    quite unique, quite... pricey too :(

    There were pocket watches in the last 1800's that used a similar winding apparatus.
