I am in a racing mood, lately.
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 look, directly inspired from the Seventies ( in fact, it is from the Seventies ) and even more with this perforated strap.
I will try to take some pictures of the watch AND the car together, but having the car in a parking and the watch in the safe makes it harder to do.
In the meantime, enjoy!
Best,

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...
There are still affordable, my friend. Don't worry too much.

Good News
Hi Nicolas, I did indeed receive some good news in my mailbox today. I will PM you later. regards Bretta
Sporty, I like it.
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 ...
