WristScan

Not in house, but...

 

Yes, it is the Marine Timekeeper I. The movement from what I have read and have been told isn't in-house, but is a Perret. However, I understand that Perret manufactures these movements for the British Masters exclusively and they collaborate on all their movements, seeing that they're actually housed in the same building. Will probably need more confirmation on this though.

The accuracy is great though, as I gain about 5 seconds every 30 days or so, and the 7 day power reserve actually runs for the full 7 days.

Stellar photo, Nilo . . .

 
By: Dr No : January 22nd, 2010-10:08

Thanks

 
By: nilomis : January 24th, 2010-14:14
Thank you Art and team. I have mixed feelings about the Navitimer (too big for my taste) but I believe that is a nice watch for pictures. Wait for the next Friday. It will be a nice vintage. Cheers, Nilo

By: G99 : January 22nd, 2010-10:54
perhaps you should consider a velcro strap a la NASA best from your speedy friend Graham...  

Wristshot of the week for me ...

 
By: AndrewD : January 26th, 2010-23:58
Hi Filip, Congratulations on the new Speedy. I have been away for a few days and am catching up, but its great to see this watch on your wrist and the wonderful wristshot with Buzz. Saved to my collection of Speedy Pro images! Andrew

Thanks Andrew

Omega Seamaster Diver 300

 
By: anaesdoc : January 22nd, 2010-02:00
Something very well legible at nighttime - due to nightshift again :-( Best regards, anaesdoc Sorry for the outdated pic, but I´m longing for summer and warmth!...  

Today: the "boyfriend" watch.

 
By: dxboon : January 22nd, 2010-02:07
If this watch was a man I'd marry it. Rugged. Handsome. Dependable. Never leaves the toilet seat up. A girl could do worse! HAGWE! Daos...  

I can't sleep!

 
By: dxboon : January 22nd, 2010-02:12
Weird weather today (HAIL in Southern California!), plus lots of work at the office, and an unsatisfying dinner have me out of sorts I think! Oh, well. Friday is upon us! Daos

:-)

 
By: dxboon : January 22nd, 2010-23:49
It's always fun to get a new watch, but I'm a bit cheerier now after seeing a rainbow today and having a chocolate Frosty from Wendy's! It's the simple pleasures that make life worthwhile. Hope you've been well, Ronald. Cheers, Daos

Nice Graham i like it

 
By: gazoz : January 22nd, 2010-03:22
i never ended getting my MIH i suppose theres always later nice strap

go for it Gaz, they are due a release in a couple of months.

 
By: G99 : January 22nd, 2010-10:57
apparently the new ones have updated V7750 movements so they wont have the problem mine had with the centre second not resetting to zero. best Graham

that was fast!

 
By: cazalea : January 22nd, 2010-08:47
Is the watch happy now? I've been wearing mine for a couple days this week and remembering how nice it is. Mike

thanks Jed. it was a...

 
By: G99 : January 23rd, 2010-03:42
thanks Jed. it was a risk as the strap came from the interweb and the watch was still being mended, but it seems to have worked quite well. best Graham

7 days

Has been this all week...just wound up again for the weekend HAGWE all! Richard...  

Timekeeper...

 
By: tee530 : January 22nd, 2010-18:39
Hi Richard, That's the Arnold & Son Timekeeper I, isn't it? Good looking piece; I am a fan of marine chronometers, and I don't think I've seen this one very often. Can you share any more about your watch? I'm intrigued by the movement: is it an in-house, ... 

Not in house, but...

Hangover from small watch week

 
By: jml_watches : January 22nd, 2010-03:47
Hi I'm still wearing this - a hangover from small watch week. Has been barely of my wrist since. JML '> old picture but still a great watch...  

Your Nomos

 
By: jml_watches : January 22nd, 2010-14:18
Hi I saw your post on your Nomos - the dial colour is fab. Yes you're right they do lots of limited editions I saw a Wempe one with a duck egg blue dial that look fab as well. Just had a look on their website & it looks like they've brought out something ... 

Tssss, PP.

 
By: amanico : January 22nd, 2010-23:27
Aaaah, that was that? You were hiding this superb 5513 under your sleeve, eeeh? Bad Boy! Best, my friend. Nicolas

I was certain.....

 
By: MiniCooper : January 23rd, 2010-00:24

40+ years old, this watch just keeps doing what it does well: keeping time without fuss and looking great. -Tom...  

I think you've posted this one before, Tom . . .

 
By: Dr No : January 22nd, 2010-10:25
. . . it's an individualistic design that I like tremendously. Eterna is the one of the rare manufacturers whose watches embody sensibility and character without going overboard . . . cordially, Art

Thanks...

 
By: tee530 : January 22nd, 2010-14:36
Ginger and Art for your appreciation. The styling is a highlight for me, as is the size (36 mm) and relative chunkiness (8+mm thick) for watch of this era. -Tom

Nicely done, Ed . . .

 
By: Dr No : January 22nd, 2010-10:33
. . . there's nothing subtle about this Bulgari, and you've captured the vibrancy of the design well . . . cordially, Art

Very nice...

... watch, Stephan. Does "Ultrasonic" indicate that it's a tuning fork mechanism? -Tom

thanks Tom. the name sounds like that, i thought so too...

 
By: FanFrancisco : January 22nd, 2010-07:04

By: G99 : January 23rd, 2010-06:31
dont take it as an insult Stefan. Seiko made excellent movements and seeing your Enicar made me think of this best Graham...  

Interesting...

 
By: tee530 : January 22nd, 2010-18:24
...thanks for the movement shot, Stefan, I always like seeing the insides, too. I see that it has the Enicar 1010 movement, with 21 jewels. Nice. Dr. Ranfft's database says this movement runs at 18,000 vph - classic, but Ultrasonic? Maybe just enthusiasti... 

incabloc...?

 
By: FanFrancisco : January 23rd, 2010-06:21
hi Tom, looking at the movement which seems like to be incabloc. but interestingly the dial was not signed with "incabloc". i have no clue to confirm that?! stefan

this is a nice one...

 
By: FanFrancisco : January 22nd, 2010-07:09
hi Ginger, very nice hi-beat Zodiac and it looks a Omega Dynamic. i have two hi-beat Kingline chronometer Zodiac, but they just have a normal look. stefan.

Thanks.

 
By: Ginger : January 22nd, 2010-11:27
I admire your Enicar today. I have been a good girl lately and haven't been buying outside my collecting theme, but Enicar is one on my short list. I love the logo so much. The late 60s and early 70s designs are substantial, but in a reasonable diameter a... 

yep, i alos love the logo too...

 
By: FanFrancisco : January 23rd, 2010-06:26
hi Ginger, i also love the logo. i bought this watch when i have started my vintage watch collection about 2 years ago. i like this brand simply because it was a very hot watch brand when i was at my young age. their marketing was very good in Asia market... 

Ginger, I love your choices

 
By: cazalea : January 22nd, 2010-08:46
I've had a couple of these Zodiacs, and if'n I didn't already have too many themes I'm chasing I'd be after the high-beats too. Happy collecting Mike aka Cazalea

i have one too Ginger, but its not a high beat.

 
By: G99 : January 22nd, 2010-11:12
mines steel whereas yours looks gold plated. very nice addition to your hi beat box. best Graham

Thanks

Hope all is well, Mike . . .

. . . no damage up here, but there was a tornado (!) in Ventura yesterday . . . Art

Cold and snowy also does well for a Sinn

 
By: anaesdoc : January 22nd, 2010-13:42
Hi cazalea, nice to spot another Sinn around here. Their legibility is really outstanding and I am thrilled by their no frills design. Greetings to the 656 from the 657 and best regards from me, anaesdoc...
