IWC: Oh, cool! You remind me, I have that old biest in my bank vault. Mark X from February 12, 1945.

Not worn for a long time, need to give it some airtime, indeed. Cheers, HSTE

TAG Heuer: Enough patina here? Probably not ....

.... but the one thing I agree: totally under-rated. How cool is that!! Cheers, HSTE

TAG Heuer: One of my favorite Carrera ref. 2447: the SY aka. "Yachting". So clean yet ...

.... special with the sub-dial at 3 o?clock. And: rare. Cheers, HSTE

Horological Meandering: I agree with you! It has everything that makes it a timeless classic.

I can tease you a bit with this .... ;-) Cheers, HSTE

Horological Meandering: A comparison … 1968 vs. 2024

A nicely done 39mm, no-date re-edition. But, I guess the combination of a glossy, black dial and the gilt prints are a bit more appealing to me (being a vintage nerd). But: well done anyway by Longines. Cheers, HSTE

Horological Meandering: Very nice indeed - a well executed "hommage".

I have the 1968 original (ref. 7594-3) and the bronze reedition with the green dial. Enjoy this one. Oh - and the bracelet is very nice too Cheers, HSTE

Horological Meandering: Thanks my friend. Straps on watches to me is an as difficult topic as frames to pictures/paintings. Very often ...

... very difficult to make "the right choice". But here, it was fairly easy. I like to keep the orange prominent, but in a more sophisticated and more comfortably wearable way. Cheers, HSTE

Audemars Piguet: Just a good memory of visiting a few years ago the guys at "Analog/Shift" in New York, with my "Karl" on the wrist.

Back then still travelling easily during holidays in the NY subway with that black icon on my wrist. It's in a safer place now ;-) Cheers, HSTE

Horological Meandering: I replaced the fairly sturdy textile strap of my Sinn 103 12 H Klassik ...

... with a smooth, orange "Louisiana Print" Croco-style leather strap. Much better. And: I really love the unique and distinctive design of this watch. It wears a little thick (automatic movement), but I'd say: just about ok. Cheers, HSTE
