WristScan

according the reference number, my day-date Geneve Dynamic was ca1970.

for the model of this kind, it requires special tool to open the case. unfortunately i do not have that.

but i still keep the pic supplied by the seller, here is the movement pic.

Sorry folks for this wrist shot which is not up-to-date, as I am hanging around in the OT at 5.30 a.m. during night shift (incarcerated inguinal hernia, for the experts). So I have send a canned shot. But the watch is correct and the date also!

Have a more enjoyable Friday everyone!

. . . that I might've seen once in the metal at a trunk show. Bill has a few Sinns, but they're all dive watches, I think.

Off topic: do physicians make use of mechanical chronographs with respiration bezels nowadays?

Hi Art,

thanks for your comment about my Sinn. Actually the model I posted is a Sinn 356 Sa Flieger which is not really uncommon over here in Europe. I value the day-date indication during night shift weeks or holidays, i.e. during periods when you easily forget about those (what paradoxically is one purpose of being on vacation ).
This is a real WS from today after coming home from work:

 

Besides the version with day-date, I have a similar one, with the GMT function:

 
(note: if you want, you can hide the yellow GMT hand behind the normal hour hand, so that it cannot be seen)

Concerning the use of a chronograph to measure the breathing rate, I have never ever seen any doctor doing so! As medical students we took the pulse rate and respiratory rates with normal watches, because we could not afford chronographs. Now that we have elegant and expensive chronographs we use them to boil eggs or to check how long our way to work takes us.
These physiological rates are important, but you do not need an accurate measurement. Whether the heart rate is 63 or 76 per minute does not really matter; whether it is 25 or 120 does matter, but there is no need to exactly know them. The same applies to respiratory rates: it may be 8 or 14 per minute, that does not make much difference; whereas a breathing rate of 3 or 30 per minute is indicative of an underlying problem. But this is a "prima vista" diagnosis anyway.

But - this was repetetively stated - it is rarely the factual need that directs our enthusiasm for complicated mechanical watches; rather it is the fascination for the pure possibility to be able to do so hypothetically.

Best regards,

its just sooo sexy ! To me this GS has it all, Perfection in and out, can't ask for a better watch at any price.

. . . your pics are driving me to distraction!

Deliciously deep dial and wonderful case; feels like I could dive into it.

Great photo as usual.

I really have to see one of the GSes in the metal some day.  It will probably be bad for me, but I have to.

You're right... the black dial on this GS is sexy!
