I hope they recover quickly! It seems your Longines has passed the stealth trials with aplomb, though

WS for 9th of November - ‘Stealthiest watch you own’ is live
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-11:02
As announced yesterday, the topic will be ‘Stealthiest watch you own’, however you choose to interpret it. A watch with under appreciated tremendous value, a watch that no one but the most knowledgeable will recognise on the street, a watch looking like i...
Very cool COS!
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-15:43
Love the minimalism of the crown operated chrono here and the colour scheme is sublime Very stealthy for sure!
I think a lot of my watches are ,, stealth,,
By: Watchonthewrists : November 8th, 2018-13:33
Outside this forum and IG i think 99% dont know what i wear on my wrist most of the days ( just the way i like it 😉) The most stealth watch in my collection is my Urwerk i think But my Staudt will also qualify i guess ! ...
Two superb choices, Watchonthewrist!
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-15:47
The Urwerk is a very F-117 choice and the Staudt definitely flies right under every radar, too Have a great weekend!
In many ways even stealthier than the steel one...
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-15:45
Superb GS you have here! Not seen much of the ‘new’ GS Specials yet, so if you have some time for a couple of more pictures and an impression from the owners perspective that would be great!
Fantastic Cellini, UncleChico!
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-15:49
It’s quite an achievement for a Rolex to be stealthy but this one is most certainly it
Gorgeous Geophysic
By: old_school : November 8th, 2018-12:12
My favorite dial variant, as well.
Yep. [nt]
By: amanico : November 9th, 2018-00:54
A perfect specimen, Nico!
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-15:51
And a superb specimen of stealth, even if there’s not a single sharp edge in sight Well played!
What a crazy JLC, Nico...
By: Brandon Skinner : November 8th, 2018-16:22
I have never seen anything like that before from the brand.
I have had the pleasure of seeing this JLC live...
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-21:44
And it’s an intriguing piece for sure! And you certainly fulfilled my hopes that someone would post a Royal Oak, Nico - in terms of design it fits right into the radar absorbent school of thought, even if it is very recognisable
Game over
By: Uncle Chico : November 9th, 2018-00:38
That JLC is not only stealth, it looks like it could fly.
JLC ..,
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 10th, 2018-11:22
Roman numerals... date window .. and it still looks great 👍
The second great choice, Timeout!
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-15:53
In addition to the looks it’s especially the fact that there are two movements inside that make it qualify

Truth be told, I am a terrible photographer, but I can find my way around Photoshop. Once I actually get a decent photo, I try to make the best of it.

Great topic, sure to generate a variety of responses

Inspired by your stealth fighter post yesterday, I'll share my "Sea Shadow" Overseas chronometer. As you know, the Overseas line was inspired by nautical travel, with an image of the Amerigo Vespucci sailing vessel engraved on the back. This one, with cus...

For this week TGiF ...
Appreciate your kind

Words as usual, here all German taken just now ...
;) [nt]
By: amanico : November 8th, 2018-23:55
Two excellent choices, Quan!
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-16:00
Depending on the country the car choice is even stealthier than the Richard Lange!
Thank you
By: Quan : November 8th, 2018-19:04
You are right, down here not that many people aware of A. Lange
A very much below the radar piece
By: halkcb : November 8th, 2018-18:17

Two very interesting choices, Henry!
By: KMII : November 8th, 2018-21:37
In terms of stealth the Credor is a natural winner I wouldn’t have expected the Cartier but maybe that’s exactly what makes it qualify - crept right up on us
Thanks a lot, Mike :)
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-06:46
Deteriorating daily but as I age I seem to recall earlier events better than what happened yesterday
Well let me see how to play again this week.. ;))
By: hs111 : November 8th, 2018-22:19
Thought to chip in several choices.. Unobtrusive but cool MIH Hidden Chrono The Stealth choice 2 low key Crosshairs JLC E 855 coolness Habring2 Doppel Felix: Rattrapente pleasure.. Best to all & HAGWE ! hs. ...
The theme seems to suit you really well, HS!
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-02:40
Be it the supremely stealthy MIH, the Crosshairs, the Memovox or the Doppel Felix - all are likely to either fly under the radar or at the very least not reflect a clear signal back - really well played! Have a great time in SA!
Likewise, HS :)
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-05:41
Been too long since the last live meeting - something we should recfity upon your return!
The mih is pure stealth
By: traineract : November 9th, 2018-07:15
It's already conceptually supposed to be stealth. A great choice
Simple. Elegant. Stealth.
By: crown comfort : November 9th, 2018-02:00
How about, something simple, yet elegant that fits nicely under the cuff and can easily go stealth. Like the Girard-Perregaux 2532 manual wind tank from the early 90s. CC ...
A fantastic choice, CC!
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-02:37
Wasn't aware of the 2532 and it looks highly appealing - just the right size for a rectangular watch, too! Is the case back curved?
Very cool!
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-02:52
A feature that makes many GP watches extremely comfortable to wear
Certainly does!
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-02:35
I hope one of our Dutch mmbers might have an idea of who the maker was. Very interesting piece for sure - thanks for sharing it!
An excellent disguise it is, too!
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-02:53
Helping to maintain the ElPrimero in production long enough for the the market to pick up again - great choice!
Well played
By: traineract : November 9th, 2018-07:14
Well disguised
Great choice!
By: JLCman : November 9th, 2018-07:39
Especially I like the old Ingenieurs like your 666 😎👍🏻
What can I say, Abel!
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-08:34
These are all different but equally interesting choices - stealth comes in many different forms It also seems that various brands will be perceived differently in various parts of the world. Where I would see Zenith as relatively 'visible' in at least som...
Funny how certain brands...
By: KMII : November 10th, 2018-11:40
Have very different recognition levels depending on location. Glad it’s that way - this allows us to enjoy a certain anonymity with our watches wherever we are
Agree! [nt]
By: Subexplorer : November 11th, 2018-07:57
Interesting choice
By: traineract : November 9th, 2018-07:17
A stealth bomber kind of choice
I was awaiting one :)
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-08:29
This one certainly delivers on all counts, Brauner - excellent choice!
My submission for stealth watch
By: traineract : November 9th, 2018-07:12
While the Purists crowd is very familiar with this piece, most people around me do not know about Speake Marin. Hence it's a joy to wear it because I can personally enjoy it thoroughly, without much distractions from hovering eyes (usually the Rolexes get...
Fantastic choice, Traineract!
By: KMII : November 9th, 2018-08:28
Love PSM pieces and yours is certainly one that will not raise the pulse in any but the initiated Cool shot, too!
Thank you!
By: traineract : November 9th, 2018-09:42
Hope it raised your pulse rate!
It regularly does!
By: KMII : November 10th, 2018-11:42
Came close to getting one twice and I guess third time I certainly will 👍🏻
My third play at this stealthy theme

By: chippyfly : November 10th, 2018-03:28
My Longines and I survived walking through Oxford last night and the Sheldonian concert was great. Sadly two members of the approximately 500 audience collapsed with sudden illness and were carried away. No news of their recovery. Clive
Too bad...

I hope they recover quickly! It seems your Longines has passed the stealth trials with aplomb, though

But certainly looks stealthy from this side The Lanco Fons are quite an interesting alarm pairing!

It's precisely its stealth that made it a commercial failure when it came out. ...

Nothing compares to your unseen collection

By: Gelato Monster : November 11th, 2018-03:43
That may be a better word. It is a killer collection
Simply astounding!
By: KMII : November 10th, 2018-11:46
Name or not, a Sarpaneva is super cool by definition and you went for a pretty special one
Thank you KMII
By: Gelato Monster : November 11th, 2018-03:39
I was lucky

It’s time for Omega to bring this one back Great choice!
Stealth, hmmm...
By: claes_t : November 10th, 2018-07:34
The closest I can get is probably this one.... Only nerds know what it is, fewer still knows what it does and there aren’t that many of them... ...
Tank you Nico.
By: claes_t : November 10th, 2018-07:55
I think I need to expand my collection. WristScan is getting harder and harder. One wouldn’t like to repeat one self too often😄
This is a great one!
By: KMII : November 10th, 2018-11:48
And fully agreed, almost impossible for the ‘watch civilians’ to spot 👌🏻
ok, my last take on stealth...
By: claes_t : November 10th, 2018-08:47
This is displaying my frustration in buying a watch that NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER SEEN. Can't be a good sign... Forgot to ask, have you got a pen? ...
Another great Lemania!
By: KMII : November 10th, 2018-11:50
Time to check out what other cool and funky pieces they have produced over time Thanks for adding this one!
Frustaration....
By: blomman Mr Blue : November 11th, 2018-04:33
Can be a good thing! Best Blomman
Thanks for the added detail!
By: KMII : November 11th, 2018-05:21
Wasn’t sure before if it was available to the public as well, so thanks for clarifying

Take care Art. That is really close!!

Just for interest, here is an advert for Helvetia's big date watch with the same Helvetia in-house movement. I think this dates from 1932 going by the patents. Also a picture of another example I found on the web. Note that the one in the advert also has ...
What a superb piece, Stefan!
By: KMII : November 11th, 2018-05:20
Love the early big date complication - only goes to show that similar problems existed back then, too
Probably this 2.....

By: S F : November 11th, 2018-04:07
These make for two great choices SF!
By: KMII : November 11th, 2018-05:19
I guess most vintage watches possess a certain element of stealth to the uninitiated and GS - vintage or modern does so by definition. Nice shots!
