Those sub-dial markings . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 6th, 2015-09:37
. . . are unique - can't recall ever seeing any quite like them before. Intrigued, Art

From what I know....

 
 By: SALMANPK : March 7th, 2015-14:45
About the sub-dial markings in orange is that they are to highlight 10 or 15 min. intervals depending on the rules of the particular yacht race where the different divisions start off at 10 or 15 minute intervals from each other. S

In search of a shark

 
 By: jml_watches : March 5th, 2015-14:38
Hi Alaways think this is a fun watch - green astro turk strap, with a vw beetle attached and then the swimmers going round. Not great for telling the time - but a great fun watch. Sometimes think adding a shark fin on a seconds hand would have been fun! C...  

LOL! But if you have a shark on the seconds hand....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 5th, 2015-23:22
The shark will be the fastes and "win" ! ;) Excellent choice! HAGWE Blomman

Better yet if

first, I was like a kid in a candy store on my VC factory visit. Then they gave us time in a confer nice room with a few "friends". Just way too many nice pieces. But in the end, I found my favorite piece. I took a double header with my 47212. Yep, I was ...  

Fantastic pair! :)

Big love affair for me, too, but in my dreams, only ( for the moment ).

Start hunting, amigo . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 6th, 2015-10:08
. . . Ω chronometers in original condition are difficult to find at any price, much less a reasonable one. This one is cased in 33 mm steel; it will be off to my watchmaker next week for servicing.

Not at all, Nicolas . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 6th, 2015-10:43
. . . there were analog references to these smaller versions in 35 mm cases. It goes without saying that 'jumbo' models trade at a premium; I can't remember the last time a sterling example came up on the trading boards.

Between him and Franco . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 6th, 2015-12:11
. . . there's none left for the rest of us ;-) . . .

Wait 'til I pull the Genève chronometer out of the safe . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 6th, 2015-12:09

 By: pplater : March 7th, 2015-05:51
Not everyone is blessed with such 'fun' watches as those, blomman; indeed, not all of us have a cheery outlook on life: [copyright credit Randy Glasbergen 2009] Still, in some cases it's a question of the mood that is evoked rather than the watch itself,...  

Never confuse...
