...showed it around to some of you at the last Paris GTG, but it narrowly lost against the Rexhep Rexhepis, Laurent Ferriers and F.P. Journes of this world. Well, here is another try smile





It even has two time zones smile

3rd December 2020 It’s the first WS of a new year and new decade so my plan is to do a ,, Be Different ,, theme A few members know about my love for ,, different ,, or for some ,,odd,,looking watches With different i mean : Different case designs Differen...  

That is a great theme. I will have a look at what I have.

 
 By: ChristianDK : January 2nd, 2020-08:12
You have to show me the RR watch one day. I think it is a lot of fun (and different )

We love a good challenge at WristScan ...

And this should be an interesting weekend 😉

Cool! [nt]

 By: Ludi : January 3rd, 2020-05:09
... thanks for educating me Best regards ^^

The Aqua Dive is an awesome watch with a big presence on the wrist no doubt. It was interesting to view the article you show about this watch. Jack McKenney was a pioneer diver and writer...

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 4th, 2020-14:44
... and the Skin Diver Magazine a pioneer publication as well. I subscribed it for many many years in the 1960's through 80's. Great post Ludi ! Cheers! Abel

Ok, ok, let's go then.

... it is always a big pleasure to participate. The Big Egiziano is a collection piece for a true Panerai fan with a strong historical connection. I´m very happy to own it and it is a joy for me to wind it from time to time and to view it as a Desk Clock ... 

😁 lol .

You know, the concept of "Different" is relative - it depends entirely on the basis of what you are comparing it to. Here are my most-frequently-worn watches. To me, these watches represent "Normal" - different to me would be a Patek Calatrava, LOL! But I...

I’ll gladly share some additional information about that specific watch.

Evidently, this is a watch that by its specifications usually would NOT be posted at WPS – except in this special case, where the WristScan theme is “be different”. And different it is indeed, compared to our usual objects of desire. Some technical charac... 

Many thanks for taking the time to write these details!

Wonderful collection you share with us Giles. I'm also fond of the so called C cases. I own a couple of Omega Constellations with this type of case and find them so charming!

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 4th, 2020-14:15
It would be interesting to have a modern offering with that classic shape. I feel Hamilton has recently offered a re issue of one of their vintage models with a C case. I like that Hamilton very much. Hagwe! Abel

Yes - the 'C' case Omega Constilations and Cosmics are lovely

 
 By: nomadgiles : January 5th, 2020-07:58
The Doxa is indeed a lovely C case too - and one of the few divers I'd really like to own. Will check out the Hamilton, thanks. Los mejores deseos

Agree with your comments and models you mention dear Giles! Yes, a Doxa would be a great addition to your collection...

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 5th, 2020-10:39

The fume HF and alarm GP's and blue dial dynamic are late 60's. The Zodiac is in their '76 catalogue. The UN is 1974 and Bullseye Omega and GP 1973. I seem to like straight hands and no numbered indices - in fact the only departure on numbers / straight h...
