Many non-white (e.g. silver) dials have been shown on this thread, but they're so nice that all bans for those technical infractions have been stayed.

Cool watches!
Would you care to inform us what the purpose of the two crowns is on the last one?

Way before iPhones and other re-chargable wrist adornments, this led the way with a dummy crown that allowed you to re-charge your electric watch.

We have a previous thread on it somewhere.

Like a small dynamo??? Über-cool!
Go tell Apple! I heard their new watch only lasts 18 hours (ideally) on a charge. This could save them!
Just imagine a bunch of nerds sitting winding frenetically on their iWatches in order to make it home to the charger outlet😝😝😝::facepalm1::.

That would be something. No, it's not that fancy, it's just a accumulator that's charged from a dry cell through the connector under the left hand crown. The charge lasted a few months, unlike Apples watch 😉

No, the normal crown only changes time, the one at 9 undoes and you plug a battery into it to charge an accumulator (I think from memory).

I'll try and find the original ost.
