One of my favourites

I love this model, this is one of my retro favourites. The shape, the colour., the numeral markers... everything you would want from a 70s watch.

About three years ago I spotted one of these on ebay. The seller hadn't listed it properly and the watch went under the radar of many. I set up my computer ready to bid but something distracted me in the last moments and I forgot to bid.

I still kick myself to this day as the watch went for a very reasonable price.

I didn't get why I was so attracted by this E 871, till a few weeks ago. Getting my first Vintage car ( did you notice the word " first "? I am fearing the worse... ) made me suddenly understand the true meaning of my intuition. This E 871 has a racing lo...  

LOL goodluck...I've had my time with those bloody vintage cars...

I would like to have heard the reaction when this one was originally released in the 70s... must have been a cutting edge look for that time. It sounds like a new collectible is entering your world... and they are not as easy to store as watches!! For as ... 

I guess it was in the mood of this era, Michael.
