To me, the Blancpain and the U.N, uber the 2 others.
Well, the Fiftyy Fathoms is and will always be a special watch, a piece of Myth.
The U.N has a friendly and clever complication;, the time zone, which is one of y very fav complication.
The Vintage Hanhart were something, I find the modern less appealing, less balanced.
The good thing with the Longines is that they used a soild case back for this watch.

Best,

Very interesting collection
My preferecne goes to the Blancpain FF. Thanks for sharing your pictures and your views. Best regards, George
There is something about UN dials
that never ceases to amaze me and that I really enjoy. They often manage to create a little "world" with more "drama" on the dial than any other watch manufacturer I have owned and often the play of light on their dials is an additional source of delight....
Thanks for the pics ! I'm a bit surprised by the Hanhart...
The Hanhart you are showing us is far from the Hanhart I used to know (chronographs inspired by the past)... Is it a new style from this brand or did I miss something ? Thanks a lot for your pics ! Fr.Xavier
There is a post by SJX, a press release
by Hanhart for 2009 Baselworld announcing these new models. They are all called Primus, and there is a Racer's, Pilot's, and Diver's model. They are all 44mm with flexible lugs, just different dials, and the dive watch has a rotating bezel (basically vari...
