Re: Aaah, Géo
You surprise us every week with stunning never seen pieces. LOL
Like the UN of today.
Cool, really cool.
GEO
Impressive watch !
there are so many nice details in this dial and in the case too.....
HAGWE
That is a really stunning dial ...
A perfect 'dress' chronograph, Geo. It is partly the black & white dial that makes it 'pop', but the legibility, design and hands are all just beautiful.
A very special piece in the Cartier range.
Thanks for sharing it here.
Andrew
What a lovely piece Graham
...Would you share a picture of the calibre and the "glowing in the dark" stuff 
Best regards
Hans
thanks Hans. the movement is nothing to look at being russian
and lume pics i always find difficult, but will try. for movement pics its best to google it i think or look on their website. for what it is its exceedingly good value which is the main thing when buying an unknown brand i think.

Fernando, your wish is my command
only a few pics so far, but one of them shows what the lume can look like. no movement pics, but its nothing to look at really.
to be honest, i'm surprised at the interest in it. i was going to review it, but didnt think it would get much of a response so havent bothered. i may change my mind now and do it next week.
its well built, the lume is good, their trademark in fact. the movement is interesting and it is #99 which i always try to go for. the strangest thing is that because it was a handwind originally the recommendation is too hand wind 80 times before wearing as the rotor needs to turn 30 times to give the equivalent of 1 turn of the crown due to the gearing. i find its best to treat it as a handwind that wont stop if you forget.

Graham
Thanks Graham....
love to see these 'off the beaten track" affairs and I think this one looks the part and will undoubtedly serve you well.
Couldn't figure out what the pusher at 2 does though? Quick set date a la Lange?

fernando
your quite correct Fernando, its...
date. i did wonder if it would change by accident easily, but doesnt seem to be
an issue so far.
Looks great !!!
Graham, your photographic skills are improving my friend.
Can you take a pic for us from both sides (crownside and non-crown side) so we can get an extra impression of the case ?
Thank you ;
Austin Powers
well Mr Bim, i might...
really nicely :))
Hmmm ...
... not bad at all ....
would it look cool with a NATO on it ?
Thanks mate ....
Filip
i think it would look...
as it happens i have a 24mm black ZULU, but the bracelet is so hard to fit i
wont be changing it today.
high quality rubber item. all included in the purchase price which is pretty
good. i think it would look good with a distressed leather strap the same colour
as the lume. sounds like i'm becoming a paneristi :)))
website as they have several different models including a tungsten cased
version.
has pics of the 2010 dials.
Chronometric Friday
It was time to give it some wrist time...
Blue dial, blue sky...
Not the place nor pic of the day, but THE watch of the day, for me.
HAGWE all!
Nicolas
Yes, Fernando
A LE of 500 pieces in WG.
The 160 Anniversary, launched in 2006.
I love this strange shaped watch so much!
As all my other U.N watches, tough.
Thanks for the nice words, my friend.
Best,
Nicolas
if i remember correctly Nicolas,...
already reviewed it in great detail some time ago. your review is what bought it
to my attention. it may be a time only chronometer, but it is something very
special.
I have something in the tube, for this watch, Graham.
If I remember well, I only posted pics of it...
Best,
Nicolas
i would of course need...
of months. what a drag that would be :))
Hey Nicolas! I am going Chrono Matic too
With another of my 24 h dials
HAGWE!

Richard.
Really love these Navitimers, Richard.
Didn't know you had one!
Best, my friend.
Nicolas
i think the Cosmonaute is a great watch Richard
i used to have a soft spot for Breitlings and miss them. my Cosmonaute was a handwind from 66. i prefer your navitimer chrono-matic re edition model. i also have a soft spot for 24 hour dials with 12 on top preferred if possible.
i dont know if you've seen my customised single handed 24 hour piece so i'll give you a pic anyway
i simply asked them to take the hour hand off it after working out that the 15 minute markers were sufficiently legible.
best
Graham
Very nice Graham
I had the Submarine and the Air-Nautic from the original company. I didn't know they would sell a piece with the minute hand removed, very cool!
HAGWE!
