Horological Meandering

This watch surely is one of the highlights of the fair, as a vintage-inspired military timepiece which does so much right: period-correct dial (with a twist, more later), little inscriptions, 38.5mm case with this caseback, upgraded movement and superb pr...  

Not liking the idea but sometimes - not always - liking the result. This is one of the cases where the result is pretty cool. Pretty much everything about the piece appeals on pictures, so I am quite excited about seeing it live. Do you happen to know the... 

Cool had the spots not been there

....and a pretty faithful reproduction but, for me, the spotted dial is a step too far down the road of fake patina. The claim that each dial is unique doesn’t impress. Regards Kev.

I also had problems with the fake patina. In this case I prefer to buy the original with caliber 12.68, they are not so expensive - but smaller. But it is a nice watch and Longines is a nice brand. They dont do enough for this brand, only looking für Omeg...

and very nice photos! thanks for sharing this writing, it really intrigued me cheers

I placed an order the minute I saw it. Great size instead of the usual 40mm and super price for an elegant watch. And in my favourite metal too!

I'm fairly certain this is based on the 6B/159 issued with a chrome case at 32mm diameter so the new case is somewhat bigger, which is what one would expect considering trends. Regards, Baruch

At first, we hate it, dismissing it outright as fake vintage. After several more iterations and intros, we begin to warm up to it. Not totally, but slowly. How many folks initially didn't like fauxtina indices on, say, a PAM 372? People who didn't know an...
