I am in a racing mood, lately.

I didn't get why I was so attracted by this E 871, till a few weeks ago.

Getting my first Vintage car ( did you notice the word " first "? I am fearing the worse... ) made me suddenly understand the true meaning of my intuition.

This E 871 has a racing look, directly inspired from the Seventies ( in fact, it is from the Seventies ) and even more with this perforated strap.

I will try to take some pictures of the watch AND the car together, but having the car in a parking and the watch in the safe makes it harder to do.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Best,

One of my favourites

I love this model, this is one of my retro favourites. The shape, the colour., the numeral markers... everything you would want from a 70s watch. About three years ago I spotted one of these on ebay. The seller hadn't listed it properly and the watch went...

There are still affordable, my friend. Don't worry too much.

Sporty, I like it.

I would like to have heard the reaction when this one was originally released in the 70s... must have been a cutting edge look for that time. It sounds like a new collectible is entering your world... and they are not as easy to store as watches!! For as ...

I guess it was in the mood of this era, Michael.
