I think I've gone nuts: obsessions with jumbo manual-wind time-only (JMWTO) vintage watches

From 1944, a Jumbo 38 mm survivor, even if it is a little shabby about the dial.

Reviving this old thread... A Oyster Precision 6424 manual wind at 36mm on the rivet bracelet, a find in Tokyo

I like that reference, very thin and a great size. I have one of mine on a strap for variety.

I wholeheartedly concur! Despite it being 50y old, the movement still gives me a full 60.5h PR on a full wind, pretty helpful cos it has a screwdown crown. And yes, the slim case and the 7206 rivet bracelet are just fantastic in giving me the vintage 'feels'. And you've got a lovely pair with 2 different dial variants too 👍

How did I miss this enabling thread.
Sadly I have few vintage Jumbo's, lots of large moderns in the 40 mm plus region from post vintage periods.
One of my faves ( but how can you not love them all) is my GP.

37.5mm Girard Perregaux
