My big pleasure Mike! I´m happy to be able to show a watch which is not very often seen here...
... 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 worn.
Yes, it is a real tool watch and that was the motivation for the picture! Glad you like it!
Hagwe to you too and thanks a lot for your kind comments Mike! Cheers! Abel

Wrist scan for 10/6 starts now. Theme is under appreciated watches
all right gentlemen sorry for the delay, it's time to show the community what you consider to be an underappreciated watch Here is my contribution for this week Is it a Breguet? Or maybe a Patek? What do you all think? It's neither. This is a unique piece...
You are right
Most of the ones I see in public are with the Pepsi bezels Thanks for sharing Mike
Tough theme, Mike, in general
I do appreciate all of my watches Of course, some people say that Girard-Perregaux as a whole is under-appreciated and that's probably true but for me that's part of the thrill. So maybe two submissions: 1) My Girard-Perregaux Traveller 7000 from the late...
GP definitely
And its sister brand JR are both under appreciated. That is why you can still find some charming examples ...perhaps this was a bad theme and now there will be a demand 😊😊
True, Mike.
I wouldn't mind GP getting more appreciated, but obviously don't want it to be the fashion of the month.
Love the Traveler, dear CC.
I agree, it is underappreciated, as most probably compare it to a GMT Master immediately.
Love the GP's... very appreciated on my end.
Had a GP Laureato 8010, but sold it because of the delicate bracelet and their soft screws... Regretted selling the moment I sold the watch. Now, they are near impossible to find, and much more expensive with the intro of the new models... TT ...
My Longines 13.33
I think it is one of the most underrated Chronograph movement out there. Br, Dirk ...
Very nice. I had a watch with the exact same movement.
Will I get the not trouble if I say I liked the layout of the movement more than the vintage Minerva movements that Montblanc refinished Best and thanks for your contribution Mike
Very interesting story Mike. I hope you’ll show us more shots. Thanks for sharing it with us
Well, I rediscovered very recently a “classic” Reverso GT in yellow gold that I considered myself underestimated. No complication here, yellow gold which is may be the least desirable gold of these last years... So, underestimated, may be, but definitely ...
A true PuristS choice
No flash no bling. Just a beautiful functional watch I think yellow gold is making a comeback Wonderful fall photos again Warmest. Mike
Thank you Mike
Yes, yellow gold makes a comeback and that’s particularly interesting. Best wishes Alkiro
I agree, yellow gold is under-appreciated
but I don't know why. I think it is very classic and just looks great.
IWC Novecento Perpetual Calendar
Much underappreciated and one of the best value Perpetual Calendars around. This watch came with the IWC Calendar Module from the great Kurt Klaus. The first model used the Frederique Piguet calibre 32061 (1987-1985) and after that the JLC 96061 (1995 - 2...
Same basic calendar setup as all the IWC perpetuals of the era, only in a nifty and beautiful case
I've tried several times to buy one but the prices always stayed above my comfort level Cazalea
This is beautiful watch and truly underappreciated.
Is this the first Perpetual that used Kurt Klaus' mechanism?
I feel your pain
I have a "vintage" svend andersen perpetual that doesnt have a leap year indication. When I asked mr. Anderson about this he said it was a very easy fix...leave it on the winder that came with the watch insert Have a good weekend, Mike
Never seen one before 👌🏻
Had a DaVinci a few years back , same problem if you set the date to far ahead .
The Novecento PC was my dream watch back then
I was in love with the Platinum. At that time I owned a time-only YG Novecento. It was a great watch. Congrats for making the move.
I feel that this one is underappreciated lately...
but will always have special place in my heart for more than dozen reasons HAGWE D ...
What a great post
PuristS are always under appreciated 😊 But there will be a day of reckoning! It's is seldom to see the Ppro ABR now all the p15 zeniths are around ! Cheers. Mike
Two brands I think is...
Vintage Longines - so much more than the Diver! Military... Early water proof watches like these with step cases... Even more attractive with "three notches" on the back! 13 ZN, Chronometre's, the list goes one... Another brand is Lemaina! With its rich h...
You're right, and you're right.
Although the Lemania is more underappreciateder than the Longines.
Man. I need to see one of those Lemania
In the metal. I know you've shown them before but each time I see them they get cooler and cooler. Now I'm definitely on the lookout Thanks for sharing have a good weekend, Mike
Oh, those military Longines...
are you sure they are under-appreciated or is it just they are incredibly hard to find?
Great entries, Mr. Blue.
I love the 3 notches on the Longines. And that first Lemania looks just like our beloved P15.
The Viggen Lemania is from ...
The same time period as the original CP2! Best Blomman
more jewels from the blomman collection!
really like the longines too best regards — seeks
That's two votes for the Rolex panda!
thanks for your opinion Nicholas Have a good weekend, Mike
This is such an interesting theme...
... with so many different angles to it - let me try to express my own spin to it. One thought prior to sharing my entry... any watch, that's sitting in a safe or vault, still wrapped in it's protective stickers, happens to be under appreciated by its own...
You're probably right.
Not much notice here, except when you, or Nico, post a FF shot.
Now that's what I'm talking about
Perhaps I just wasn't paying attention but I have overlooked this watch While I agree with Nicholas that the date window distracts, I can honestly say that I need the date because every medical documentation that I filled out I need to write in the date s...
