Good for you. My dad passed away and I received his Rolex. I plan on buying a premium watch to eventually leave to my son.
Today I'm wearing MARTIN BRAUN'S Grande Chrono...Interesting story about him. Made watches in Germany, got involved with a famous watch maker
who talked him into joining his company in Switzerland. Martin moved his company to Switzerland. Martin became disenchanted with his Swiss partner
and moved back to Germany. But he can no longer use his name on watches. The Swiss guy owns his name! This is number 22 Made in Germany. Becoming
quite rare now. Just a little info. I hope it didn't bore you too much...

Just a cheap watch from Inex, but I like it. It's my first "grown up watch.
That watch has character. Love the dials, font and overall finish.
Thanks Kruiser.......It has the most comfortable croc.(any) band I've ever had.
Wait until you see my new watch...It will take awhile to get here....But it is really cool.
Ordered it today. I decided to add a picture...

Loving the CW, the logo isn't bothering me anymore. Switched to a oiled leather NATO so I can strap it over the wool when working outside.
Nice watch Ray...No matter what the dial say's. I seem to remember talk about the CW looking too much like ChronoSwiss logo.
Even though diff. letters still too much like it in Chris's mind. I think it's a true tool watch and will last many years.

Speedmaster today.

I have yet to read one of his books...but I plan on it.
Packing ROLEX GMT IIc today.
Please tell me I'm reading your syntax wrong and that you aren't packing up your GMT IIc, i.e. that you sold it?
Yachtmaster today.
Here's my new Citizen. It's a Meccanico NP3010-00A. It's got an in-house Citizen Cal. 4166, 21 jewels, handwinding, 24 hour indicator that's in synch with hour dial (totally unnecessary but really nice feature). Sapphire crystal (front/back: "Sapphire Sandwich"), case is about 44mm. My pics don't do it justice but here's a link with some nice pics of the Meccanico series.
Hey Krona, What's the weight on that big fella? I like the side treatment on the case.
I'm wearing the EPOS Grand Complication..

Yes it's a file photo. GO panomatic lunar XL today. I do seem to have an issue with this watch lately. Because I've been wearing the Rolex's more frequently this spends more time on the winder. It appears that my Oribta Avanti with rotorwind movement can't keep up to the requirements of this GO, even at the 10 minute setting. I'm going to wear it today and wind it tonight and then leave it off the winder to see what I'm getting out of the power reserve. Right now it seems if it sits on the winder for about a week then the power reserve drains to nothing. I know from the Oribta website that this is a high TPD watch but I would have assumed that the 10 minute setting would give me what I needed.
Anyone have similar experiences?

Why yes I have. All the Valjoux movements fail after a few days on the Orbita. That's the reason I bought the Wolfe winder. The Rolex and any regular ETA's are no
problem...Any movement with clockwise only(Valjoux) can't fully wind.
