·I only have half the pairing here. It could be mint original as I received it,
or, going against the grain, "modified with a white face" to be a little more practical.
but so far there is no 1963 watch to pair with this. Suggestions? Needs to be German made, utilitarian, tough. It might be leading to my next purchase, who knows.
These are a few suggestions for you. First one is a Ruhla, an East German watch from around WWII. The second 2 are from my collection, 2 Doxa German watches, one from 1945 and the other from 1941.

Also thought of this one if you wanted something a bit more contemporary from the 60's and the 70's, a Doxa 300T

·...and I also pair up my Submariner 1680 with my vintage 500SEL.
I was invited to drive that model's predecessor the 450SEL around SF Bay to transport five weary sailors after a weekend on the Bay in a February storm. The car wafted along so smoothly that at one point I realised I was was the only person not asleep. On arrival the owner of the car asked what I thought of it. I said I thought it was was a bit loose and rattly for something with nine thousand miles on the clock, so he pointed out it was a million mile odometer not the usual hundred thousand. Ah, misread it, my mistake 😬
But I'd have had it in for service on the suspension joints

·My father had a big Benz back in the 80’s (after his Rolls was totaled- horrifically sad story). You could go through a brick wall and run over a crowd of people and not even know it.
That's a quality it shared with the MG MGB. I have been a passenger (rally navigator) in an MGB going through a brick wall. At 04:00 on Sunday morning there were no crowds of people to attack though.

·I pair up my panda Ripley Seiko with my JDM Nissan S13. Not quite a perfect match but these are what I'm able to get my hands on!

·Is that a boston green E36? 5513 and a e36 M is FOREVER a winning combo in my book.
