    Met fellow forum member OzO (Mark) yesterday to pick up my newest timepiece, a Sorna World Timer Bullhead. This watch has done the rounds, it went from WUS member *I Like Em Big* to WUS member *Brisman* to OzO to me!
    Like most on this forum, I have a penchant for vintage with a definite leaning towards the 70s timepieces. I've owned Flightmasters, F300s etc but have always appreciated the bullhead design. Ultimately I will one day own the Omega and the Breitling versions but this will fill the void for now!
    I look forward to learning more about the movement in this one, apparently it's a pin lever escapement, something I'm not familiar with but I will be!
    Enjoy the photos :)

    Thanks Spike and Dennis. Being a little different is kinda the point for me dsio. I like bullheads especially for that reason, they are different and from a time when watchmakers were not afraid to experiment with colour and complications. Just before quartz hit and nearly destroyed the industry.
