As announced yesterday, the topic will be ‘Stealthiest watch you own’, however you choose to interpret it. A watch with under appreciated tremendous value, a watch that no one but the most knowledgeable will recognise on the street, a watch looking like i...
Outside this forum and IG i think 99% dont know what i wear on my wrist most of the days ( just the way i like it 😉) The most stealth watch in my collection is my Urwerk i think But my Staudt will also qualify i guess ! ...
Superb GS you have here! Not seen much of the ‘new’ GS Specials yet, so if you have some time for a couple of more pictures and an impression from the owners perspective that would be great!
And it’s an intriguing piece for sure! And you certainly fulfilled my hopes that someone would post a Royal Oak, Nico - in terms of design it fits right into the radar absorbent school of thought, even if it is very recognisable
Let's see what cryptic piece I might have to make it through the stealth radar. a watch for a stealthy night with a great alarm (so I can have a little rest). Best to you all, Tim ...
Inspired by your stealth fighter post yesterday, I'll share my "Sea Shadow" Overseas chronometer. As you know, the Overseas line was inspired by nautical travel, with an image of the Amerigo Vespucci sailing vessel engraved on the back. This one, with cus...
In terms of stealth the Credor is a natural winner I wouldn’t have expected the Cartier but maybe that’s exactly what makes it qualify - crept right up on us
Thought to chip in several choices.. Unobtrusive but cool MIH Hidden Chrono The Stealth choice 2 low key Crosshairs JLC E 855 coolness Habring2 Doppel Felix: Rattrapente pleasure.. Best to all & HAGWE ! hs. ...
Just have to check a couple things at home after my return from our yearly stay in SA before.. But if I may, I’ll keep you posted. Best, hs PS: Another time might be early next year (?).. We’ll see..
.. I would be more than happy, as it really has been quite a while now, - to see you, watches & my dear love, the City of Lights ! Cheers € Best, hs. PS: BTW: also, my list to bring has been getting somewhat long (but I kept record..)
HAGWE to you & yours !! PS: Hmmhh.. Just realized by coincidence I seemingly have passed the 15 K threshold ! Well - it always has been a pleasure and still is, also mainly because of good friends like yourself and kind rothers-in- Arms here !.. Thank you...
Be it the supremely stealthy MIH, the Crosshairs, the Memovox or the Doppel Felix - all are likely to either fly under the radar or at the very least not reflect a clear signal back - really well played! Have a great time in SA!
How about, something simple, yet elegant that fits nicely under the cuff and can easily go stealth. Like the Girard-Perregaux 2532 manual wind tank from the early 90s. CC ...
... as the securitity in the streets of my City makes wearing easy to spot watches like Rolex or other high end popular brands a very risky matter. A stealthy watch means in my book a timepiece which brings me a lot of satisfaction when I view it on my wr...
These are all different but equally interesting choices - stealth comes in many different forms It also seems that various brands will be perceived differently in various parts of the world. Where I would see Zenith as relatively 'visible' in at least som...
... except for watch aficionados. Yes, the old Ingenieur is an special piece for a PuristS but just an old and rather small watch for the casual observer. I feel very fortunate having found it here as it is a very rare piece in my hunting grounds and it g...
Have very different recognition levels depending on location. Glad it’s that way - this allows us to enjoy a certain anonymity with our watches wherever we are
While the Purists crowd is very familiar with this piece, most people around me do not know about Speake Marin. Hence it's a joy to wear it because I can personally enjoy it thoroughly, without much distractions from hovering eyes (usually the Rolexes get...
Wearing this low key Longines Jamboree cal 280 (bought at auction as the only bidder without reserve and with its obvious refinished dial) because this evening I am attending a concert in Oxford and will be walking through rather insalubrious dark areas t...
My Longines and I survived walking through Oxford last night and the Sheldonian concert was great. Sadly two members of the approximately 500 audience collapsed with sudden illness and were carried away. No news of their recovery. Clive
« A watch with under appreciated tremendou s value, a watch that no one but the most knowledgeable will recognise on the street », let see together ? Under appreciated ? Well, people tend to find it quite ugly. I guess everyone but me have bad taste ? Tre...
Hi All A couple of watches that slide under the radar Reverso Duo - think I've only ever had one comment about it & that was from someone who's father was a jeweller. The other one dips below radar as it's vintage A Lanco Fon also dips under the radar as ...
. . . to my residential computer for two days now, which is where my photos are stored. The So Cal wildfires you may have seen on the news started two miles as the crow flies from my place. I'm ok, as are my folks who are nearby. Art
Just for interest, here is an advert for Helvetia's big date watch with the same Helvetia in-house movement. I think this dates from 1932 going by the patents. Also a picture of another example I found on the web. Note that the one in the advert also has ...
