And: yes, the Universal is definitely one to look for but it is going to be tough.

I think I had promised last week to post a family portrait of the CP-1 and CP-2 type military watches. Well, here you are. Hope you like it.
The three Heuers are obviously "Bund" versions (plain, 3H, Sternzeit Reguliert) and the two on the left and the one at the front are Italian Army versions. What is quite interesting is the comparably small size of the Breitling 817. It is also the only on...
Oh, wohoow, good idea, let me think about that. ;-)

Excellent stuff and great condition, HSTE.
Everything I learned at the beginning was from WatchFred. You are not him, are you??? I see from Fred that there is a Bulova one. That might be the only one you miss besides Sinn??
Thanks Joepny! No, I am not WatchFred, I am HSTE or therustywatchguy on Instagram.
I‘ll check the Bulova, thanks! Cheers, HSTE
Breitling, Leonidas, Zenith, Heuer ... E.I AND Bund.
What can I say other than you achieved a dream which is a dream for many of us. Bravo ! All the best. Nicolas

Vintage…doooo! No, kidding, I thought about it but wanted to keep the purity of vintage.
That is why we are PuristS no? Cheers, HSTE

What's a jaw dropping collection!
Thanks for posting and I can look at these photos all day long. I’ve recently developed a great interest in military chronographs and all these are dream pieces to have. As others have mentioned, the missing pieces to complete the family are perhaps the L...
You have some impressive collection of vintage.......
Hard to get watches, it must have taken you years to build it all out. In any event congrats on this line up of military watches along with all of the rest of your special pieces! I'll take the Genta inspired collection! Tony
