Does this count as rare...?
Well, I very rarely wear it... but yup, got it on today!
Yes, the chrono hand is red...
Bracelet construction is a bit of a special feature on this particular model....
Have a great weekend, chaps!

well-known Bimbeano posted this last Friday : wristscan.watchprosite.com So, this is the second time within two weeks that I see a watch I´ve never seen before! You do not mean to post pics of those watches we rarely wear, but watches that are rarely seen...
Let's say that I'm somewhat guilty when it comes to Bimbeano's Witt.
By: amanico : July 21st, 2011-14:27
We'll try to take a Duo pic of our Beauties. But I think that there are at least two other happy fellows who also own it. It would be fun to see 4 of these same watches in a F.W on the same site, don't you think? Only the Purists can do that. Best, Nicola...
I'm sorry but I don't have, on hand, any rare bird

Nicolas, My "not so rare" birds are on the "SPA". Wonderful Wittnauer Electro Chron "bird". It's rare to see one on this conditions. Vlad is wearing a quartz watch? The world will end sooner than 2012! Here are the watches for the week: The two more preci...
I don't trust the Incas, on this matter, Nilo. :)

In fact, I have two " Electric " watches... A lovely Swatch, with a stretch aluminium and rubber bracelet, which is a Chronograph, and this Witt... Boith being not comparable, of course, the Witt being more complex than a simple quartz watch, with its bal...
Nicolas, i think you need an Accutron in your collection
By: G99 : July 22nd, 2011-11:33
as they have such historical significance in Horology and even space travel. funnily enough i know where there is a lovely and original Spaceview that would look good on your wrist i love the hands od the Wittnauer, but i dont know if i want another batte...
Why not the Accutron Astronaut?
By: nilomis : July 22nd, 2011-12:07
It "humms" like a bee and adds the GMT complication. Someday I "capture" my daughter Bulova set and post here. There are some interesting watches there. Cheers
i had 40 tuning forks...
By: G99 : July 22nd, 2011-12:13
i had 40 tuning forks at one time Nilo including 3 versions of the Astronaut, but all i have left now are 2. a 1960 14kt Alpha and a 1972 original spaceview. the astronaut is great, but very overpriced. G
Beautiful pic, Nilo!

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!!!

I will first try to get a CK 2913, as my " slim bezel " 14 755 has also gone. It was love at first sight, when I " met " my SM 300. I have to get another one. Best, Nicolas.
beautiful.

A '64 Sub? I'm still hunting my '64 Rolex watch... I must confess that it is something which is in my mind, too, but I checked a bit, here and there, and I noticed that when it comes to '64 Subs or GMTs, you have bad time finding them. Best, my friend. Ni...
amazing hands

thanks for showing this one. HAGWE, Andreas
How about a watch . . .
By: Dr No : July 22nd, 2011-11:18
. . . that I rarely see, Nicolas? My rose gold Karree perpetual was in the safe box for well over a year until last week. I'm actually not wearing it at the moment, but will be later this weekend when out and about . . ....

time to get it out into the air! I never "got" the Karees but they sure look good on you. HAGWE Andreas
The problem with the Karrees . . .
By: Dr No : July 22nd, 2011-12:07
. . . is I never feel like wearing any of them for only a day or so - a perpetual almost begs to be worn for a much longer stretch than that. On top of that, it's difficult to wear rose gold . . . Levis, t-shirt, chukka boots, and a rose gold watch? At an...
true

tissot used to have very inovative ideas both in design and materials used. Very rare to see both. My very best Rafal
And they were the first to produce a solid case...

rock (made from Swiss granite) and wood. There are a couple others who do wood watches today, and you can see by Googling them that they try and capitalize on people looking for actual Tissot products by using Tissot as a keyword.
Okay, "rarely seen" from my HDD.
By: KIH : July 22nd, 2011-15:29
For starter... Blancpain 7002 - Chronometer. Caliber 64-1 based on the Peseux 7001. One of the earliest, and I dare say, best from the new Blancpain, under the leadership of Mr. Biver back then. Very, very nicely done/finished, handwind thin watch. And, t...
