Wow. They have the tool-watch sensibility about them. I couldn't decide which is better for my own tastes...so I'll take both! Still, very cool capture, thanks for sharing this.

Indeed, that's the way to go!

..... the vintage valuation of these pieces and their historic relevance. I "have them all" (3 Heuer Bund versions, Leonidas. Breitling 817.) and I cherish them. Cheers, HSTE

I love them both ...

... but size-wise, I'd prefer the Heuer, though. Does the Breitling also have a flyback function? Marcus
