Great pics too 👍🏻

And what about your shots. Impossible to not love this Blancpain with such pictures. What a dial, complication and... flawlessness. Best wishes Alkiro

Underrated by many but adored by their owners. This is my favorite driving watch for certain. Best, Tim ...  

The Amvox line launched with so much fanfare but I rarely see them now These are indeed really great watches Thanks for contributing Tim Best Mike

that I want on my wrist. Thank you for your kind words! Best to all, Tim

A true beauty.

In 1874 Armand Dreyffus established Dreffa in Genève , Switzerland as Montres Dreffa, SA. Montres meaning watches in French and Dreffa which was derived from his name DRE y FF us A . In 1924, Dreyffus sought to expand the market outside of Switzerland and...

This watch and associated history You did a lot of research So interesting! Thanks. Mike

stunning

Deserves more review Best, Mike

that to say it's under appreciated is to give it too much credit. Segueing into the serious, this watch-Seiko 4R35-01L0-is a watch that really deserves more time on the wrist from me. I love its military mien, and it's loaded with luminous material-it lig...

But the Seiko is something, without the logo I would have guessed Zenith. So outside their usual aesthetics, yet so true to the philosophy.

I usually call it my "Edison", in keeping with my Amerocentric background

Produces inexpensive and therefore Low quality watches. They are only partly correct Seco does produce an expensive watches but it extremely high-quality. What does that say about some of the very expensive swiss brands that we love, admire, and collect? ... 

Up and down the "expense" vector Seiko probably gives more than your money's worth.

Incredible piece. Bravo, Brandon

The reason are perhaps because of the movement, the case, or the line it self I guess... They are rare for a reason, but in not a good way I think... I think because it's quartz, and the size...? While this kind of straight lug is pretty rare by itself......

The golden case and dial and this burgundy strap work nicely together. Your second shot is truly interesting too as it shows us how two watches from the same brand can be so different. Best wishes Alkiro

Provides less constraints so that the design can be made more imaginative Thanks for sharing Mike

I owned a Tank Basculante and a Rotonde day/night and I miss them 😕 Best wishes Alkiro

I remember Melvyn trying to convince other PuristS that Cartier's collection privee should betaken seriously by collectors. They have come along way since. Thanks for your contributions and have a good weekend Mike

...are more towards their design rather brands per se. IMO especially the designs from the 70s which I may be wrong. Here’s one which withstood the test of time and a must have when it comes to Omega.. Cheers ...  

Were only appreciated by a few until a decade ago. Now very nice examples command a small fortune Best. Mike

that’s not what I meant to say it is underappreciated... But one which withstood the time since its introduction..

and indeed under-appreciated. CC

Models not well appreciated. Even their power matrix 80 in house movement does not garner much attention. Great price entry point for everyone to enjoy Here is Dr Hanke's tasting notes from 2014 Cheers. Mike

. . . Gene Clark, Mike. First Byrd to fly forever God knows, he was under appreciated, too. As for the watch in my collection that doesn't get its rightful share of attention: that's gotta be . . . . . . the GS SBGW047, ode to the original GS 44. And for ...  

And I did predict the singer, if not the video!

. . . and sacrificed his hand built watch in the process, it's the Gene Clark cut that truly fits, no? (Apparently, not his composition, though . . . credited to James Talley. Many, if not most, of Gene's records were penned by him.) Art

That left us too early This is not meant to sound weird but Art you possess an older spirit. While you can admire and marvel at new things, you will always appreciate "vintage" more But then again my vintage GS gets more wrist time than then modern Have a... 

that i have also neglected this Grand Seiko for a long time....not sure of the reason why i have not worn it I love the finish, the angles and the sheer quality of the watch,but somehow it's not got much wrist time. Another that has been neglected for qui...  

We all have some watches in our collection that we under appreciate ourselves Glad to hear the gs and chopard will get more wristtime Thanks for sharing. Mike

Mondia 'Top Second' - Mondia? I here you say - who are they? It was a collaborative piece & holds a nice Zenith 23j auto movement. That & its gold plate and a date window guarantee its under appreciation - but I love its funky case, indecies and f...  

The Mondia is particularly nice. I love the symmetry between the date window at 12 (one of the coolest position for a date window IMHO) and the port hole second at 6. I would be really curious to see it in the metal. The white Omega is cool too. It makes ... 

Will try & take a video so you can see the Mondia's flashing porthole. The Omega doesn't usually wear the white strap - but it looks rather good with 'penguin' Black tie garb ;-) Best, Giles

Thank you in advance Giles. Best wishes Alkiro

I run with the wolves, not the reindeer ;-) Best, Giles

'Nomad' will do, thanks Padj ;-) Best, Giles

I would never call you the latter!

Whilst I do like cheese, I'm not sure that moniker is such a great improvement ;-) Cheers, Gi

In these vintage finds. With the exception of the Omega, which is definitely under appreciated even by collectors, I have never seen any of those watches Thanks for your contributions Best Mike

As CC said - this subject is right up my street . And also well done on choosing a great theme this weekend - has brought out some very interesting watches! All the best, Giles

Here it is in its more usual shoes and environ. All the best, Giles ...  

My input is the Rolex Submariner C which is perhaps the most sold luxury watch every year, this prize is worth moreover repproches on many fora. Here it is totally ignored. Probably too common for the Purists For my part, since the last 6 years or so I ha...  

PuristS Thanks for your contribution Mike

The Piaget Emperador Coussin Regulateur. I don't know any lucky Purist that own one. It's unique here? My only "regulator". Elegant and discrete on my wrist. I need to give to it much more wrist time. Cheers, Nilo ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

Cartier has had better luck escaping the "jewelry " watch perception Nice rare Piaget and I do not recall seeing another Purist with one Best. Mike

This Pendulum . I must admit that i have one with a black dail as well and its a safe queen from the day that i purchased it 😬 HAGWE to you all 🙏🏻🤗 ...
