but what is it in reality? The bezel is counting backwards like a mission timer. And what are the pushers for? I do not see and chrono counters or additional hands? Could not find it on the Sinn web page. Anyway, it is looking great to me. Best, Martin

The pushers are to activate the chrono ( lemania 5100 caliber ). I used the bezel timer to cook ( penne rigate 11 min ) click here

A pity this Sinn is not available any more. I like these clean tool watches a lot and this is certainly one of the best exsamples. After reading the page you pointed to I remembered that there is a similar watch by Tutima, called Einsatzuhr. It differes f... 

Bulky, super resistant, and very nice looking. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Have a good weekend ahead -Mike

I would be very surprised!! :-O Since the background of the photos is a picture from JLC yearbook 1… Best Blomman

And then I saw the second photo. Clever work Blomman! Regards, Richard.

I didn’t intend to, I just wanted a background that matched the colours! But the outcome was more surprising then I could ever imagine Thanks Blomman

pardon the obvious double entendre...

. . . I'd probably faint if I ran across another G O in the wild! Not once in nine years :-( . . .

one had a RG Big Bang King with diamond bezel, the other had a WG PanoInverse (XL I think.) I've seen quite a few nice watches here recently, but that G.O. looked stunning, wow! Have a great weekend all

Hi Nicolas, I do not know enough about watches to grab the historical significance of this watch, but it is simply stunning. It looks like it breathing a lot of history. And the movement is something to be enjoyed thoroughly. What is the meaning of the re... 

My guess is that the red triangle was painted a a repere, to allow the pilot to have a visible reference. This is a cool watch coming from the 40ies / 50ies. I needed to find a Sister to my Speedie. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Started carrying this today and will be using it all week. Join me if you wish; it certainly feels different ... Andrew...  

... looking at the dress you wearing seems you must be attending a great function this Friday? anyway, it is always good to wear something different. stefan

Very nice Nico, exactly the kind of watches I like!... Matt

Nice catch. I like it! I am still wearing this piece from last week...Why change? HAGWE everyone! -- Richard....  

Why changing such a beauty? Thanks, my friend. Best, Nicolas

I have no heirs...I am not even married yet ;-) Cheers, -- Richard.

in that "pure style".

like it new, but with that kind of vitage patina it looks great to me When do you work, or when/how do you find all those beauties? Congrats! Oliver

It is pure luck. I gave up huting it, and bam, under my eyes. A superb patina, enhanced by a dial which is in great condition. A very strong watch, despite its small size. Best, Nicolas

...two of the best car chase scenes in modern cinema. Nice watch, Amanico, nice watch - even if you come across more as Jean Reno than De Nero. Old photo, but today's watch (also today's shirt, as it happens). Thanks again for making it possible (the watc...  

Nicolas is a cool guy for sure, but that cool "Be careful with my car, it is new painted!" (Hint: Fiat 500 in front of a 5 star hotel in Taormina) What film does it come from? By the way pplater, the watch looks very good on your wrist ;-) Oliver

Mio palmo! Le Grand Bleu - cool picture with a lot of memories for me. LOL Oliver, film hinting is fun. HAGWE Nikolaj

"What will we do with 10.000 $? A dress for Angelica, a .... for Mama, ..."

Just reading your quotations makes me hear the sound track from that scene I could actually easily imagine Amanico trying to charm some girl... "Vintage watch piling - some say the most virile sport in the world..." Good stuff Oliver! Nikolaj...  

On, my wrist yesterday, pplater. Changing a 42 mm watches for a 37 mm is a funny feeling, but this lovely baby is really envouting. Best! Nicolas

Had it on yesterday HAGWE Blomman

HAGWE, Mike...  

hey Mike, that watch has my name written all over it :) you must let me know how the trigger system feels on the wrist as the look appeals to me. best Graham

I would have thought that you already have one in your collection just for the namesake Review pending....maybe I'll finish it this weekend. Cheers, Mike Mike

i have considered buying one in the past Mike, but never sure about the trigger system. i look forward to your views. best the muse for british masters :))

my trusty AP Picture is stock, because of travelling. HAGWE Oliver...

Nice, very nice. Is that from 1964? When will we hear more about this one? I am very curious. It looks very sporty. Congratulations! respo

As Clavi mentionned, there were several versions, with different dials, pushers, hands, size, case backs, and so on. So, I will focus on mine, hoping thzt others will feed the post. Just the time to go on in my searches, and to take some decent pics, and ...

i think it has a schild movement in it, possibly the same one that is in my Revue Thommen Nautical Cricket as they used vintage Schild movements. basic but loud, wakes me up every morning. i look forward to hearing more about it. best Graham
