·3570.50, the Toyota Camry of Speedy Pros. Not an LE, no nicely aged tritium, just an excellent dependable watch that I've had for 10-12 yrs.

·Don't blame this thing on a member of my bloodline
It has a tiger on the dial so I'm not sure it matters what's inside, but if this looks familiar to anyone I guess I would like to know...
,
Looks to me like a pin lever movement, and there is no way it has 21-jewels! Rocker bar winding behind the dial. With all the florid engraving on the back, and excessive information on the dial, this watch is masquerading as something it isn't!

It is some version of Bettlach caliber EB802x.

I have seen other "divers watches" from the 70s using these. They are fully serviceable and possible to make run relatively precise.

·Perhaps not the proudest moments of Swiss watchmaking, but not faked in any way.

··LemaniacThe watch in question has a Swiss movement, but also a very cheap one.

·Nothing wrong with Chinese watches I guess? I have none, but at their best I've been told they can produce decent movements.

·I am wearing this 1982 Constellation Manhattan. The map in the foreground shows the military operations that took place in 28 October 1940 when Italy attacked Greece:

·My friend wristwatch is nothing special ... unless the wearer is Olympic champion in Beijing 2008 ...
He wants my Speedmaster. I want to be Olympic champion ...
If I give it to him ... I will be gold in Rio 2016? ( I don´t think so )
