A weakness for vintage chronographs, esp those with 2 subdials
By: NT931 : October 15th, 2020-22:25
I donβt have many chronographs in my collection, but those I have are mainly manual-wound, and vintage. Iβm fond of the two-subdial layout, it just seems better balanced to me. (And Abel, you have an amazingly diverse collection of Chronos!) ...
Great submission NT931 !! Three superb chronos...
