    Nice to see you here, you should set an avatar ;)
    PS- there’s a saying here for watches like these “NFW”. People told me it meant “nice” .. er.... “fine watch”.

    Thanks for the kind appreciation.
    Quite humble compared to your treasures but I was delighted to find it after a 2 year hunt.

    Very kind of you, for sure it is one of my best acquisitions but of course I am biased. :)

    Today I put on my Longines Ultra Chron.
    Dial displaying even hours in Arabic number, not a common design.
    The 5Hz hand is smooth and a reminder that high beat technology is already available in the 70s.

    Glad to hear this was not a case of « driving while intoxicated by a watch». :D
    It would be great to see it some day, but the owners are more interesting to me than the watches!

    Is this a recent acquisition? It looks familiar.

    I have about 5 of these with this type of dial. I think I bought this about a year ago.

    I also have one with this dial.

    I've got a bit of a thing for 15.26's and 15.94's.... I think I have around 40 of them.
