But I've admired the Plantarium model which arguably is the most well known CVDK model Thanks for sharing this interesting model Is the black dial model use black MOP? Cheers. Mike

The one with the black is just a painted dail . ...  

Cheers, mike

First I decided for a straightforward, almost simple Rolex, a Rolex with a little twist: It's the Rolex 6556 "Tru Beat" or Dead Second, a little complication that more recently has raised a bit of attention, when JLC equipped 2 recent models of their Trib...  

You've Played this week's theme well with your pick! Thanks for sharing. Mike

Interesting, rare, rather expensive but absolutely underappreciated. What I like especially is the tribal touch. The case material behaves strange. The appearance differs from hour to hour. What you discover now wasn't there yesterday. It won't be there i...  

An incredible look and shape, a bronze case, a retrograde minute hand with an hole which not hide the jumping hour window, the GMT function and moon phase... So unusual means so cool here. Best wishes Alkiro

Genta gets a lot of attention here and everywhere for his designs from the 70s; but not for his own brand. Good stuff, Brauner.

Imo i think its a great watch to own and wear 👌🏻😘

Over time. I find your observation regarding the case appearance changing throughout the day intriguing What an wonderful piece in your collection HAGWE Best Mike

ref 7002. Have a great weekend! SF ...  

Lovely movement.

The bridge cuttings are gorgeous and the size perfect (36mm if I’m right?). A timepiece that I would wear with pleasure. Best wishes Alkiro

I miss their old pieces. Not that the new ones are all bad, but I have not been able to find that same BP charm.

Were so in demand after Walt odet's review. Now not very many people remember them Great pickup for your collection Best. Mike

... I will play this week end with an Omega watch which I feel is highly underestimated by collectors of the brand. As a matter of fact its close relative is a highly regarded timepiece, almost an object of cult among collectors but this one is so far fro...  

This case and its shape are incredible. A true block of metal. Really impressive. Best wishes Alkiro

... in this watch! And its bulk and weight testify that! Lol! An impressive watch for sure! Hagwe! Abel

I don't think I have seen this version of the speedmaster before nor realized it's special characteristics I love the last photo. "tool watch" Have a good weekend, Mike

... and though its production was low at 2K examples, it can not be considered rare as during the last five years I was offered at least 5 different examples of it in different conditions: from NOS with box and papers to almost as new like mine to well wo... 

Fascinating what Omega has done with the Speedmaster over the years.

Another to add on the ever increasing wish list. Thanks for sharing Abel. Best, Giles

... glad to know you like it enough to add to your wish list! Yes I understand you! Our wish lists tend to go endless! Lol! Hagwe! Abel

my 2 cents .i do feel that these case types are relatively much under appreciated than round or rectangular shapes. best regards - - seeks

... about case shape. Hagwe! Abel

... as under appreciated watches ! Superb example you show! Hagwe my friend! Abel

Not. Somehow the originals are not as appreciated as the new digital stuff. What's going on? Megapode, Seaslug, Manatee...you name it. ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

That ikepod worldtimer's chunky case is really cool. Best. Mike

Not under appreciated here ;-) Nice catch! Best, Giles

It's amazing how many watch collectors I find that have never seen a first generation Millenary. Personally, one of the most attractive aspects of this watch is that it's about as under-the-radar as you can get. It's one of my favorite watches. ...  

Case shape always generate a discussion. You either love it or hate it. Interestingly I think most people don't take the effort to try it on because it looks odd in the window Once it is on the wrist however the shape is very attractive Thanks for your pa... 

Which makes no sense since it has one of the most unusual case shapes. I must say-yours, with no complications and no funky dial machinations, looks very good.

later (of course) I wish I had kept it. Cazalea ...  

It’s more wearable in my opinion and you can better appreciate on your wrist its cool oval case. Best wishes Alkiro

watches by Marc Newsome (excluding the Apple watch) were known as IKEPOD. Here are two in front of my under-appreciated car with my underwhelming shirt: IKEPOD Seaslug with Alarm, World Time bezel, GMT, day/date. etc etc IKEPOD chronometre (with certifica...  

I have ever seen! That is two votes for Ikepod for this weeks wristscan Thanks for sharing the watches, car, and shirt. Time for another gathering of the tribe...maybe for P20 Best Mike

Dear Mike, superb story about Gene Clark. thanks for sharing! For this week’s WS.. how about the Wakmann triple calendar chronograph? I am not sure if it is under appreciated - I just don’t see too many posts (or am i not looking at the right places ) 😄 H...  

On Puristspro. These vintage models have so much character. They are definitely under appreciated Thanks for your contribution, Mike

But here's a theme I feel may be under appreciated - entry level Seiko mechanical watches. Paraphrasing Uncle Joe, quantity has a quality all of its own. Plus they are the AK47 of the horological world, robust, and easily surviving on. Extra to no TLC Her...  

Excellent metaphor my friend. At least your Seiko are much more peaceful. The creamy dial one is particularly lovely and well enhanced by its strap. Best wishes Alkiro

Definitely fully peaceful But they make for quite appealing weekend watches...

Best wishes Alkiro

The least amount of money I ever paid for a mechanical watch but definitely many more smiles per Euro than most Thank you! Btw. you could call Seiko an independent, since they still do everything themselves

They certainly add the possibility to appreciate horology to a much larger part of the population
