So, after about a year of hit and misses, I was able to get a Bernhardt Limited Edition Badger & Blade watch. This thing is big but it's handsome. It's my first hand-cranker and the movement's sound (ETA Unitas) is soothing. My favorite part of this watch is our badger logo on the crown, it's a great touch.

Nice! Like the guilloche face and vintage numerals.
Thanks, scuba...It has a crystal back too with the best strap I've ever had. Even though it's not COSC...Martin did calibrate his watches
to COSC standards after being cased and it's more accurate than my other 3 COSC watches.
Here's the MARTIN BRAUN..Valjoux 7750. Production #022. Later ones had a Martin Braun engraved rotor, the first 24 were "pre-production"Take a pic of the case back! I'm intrigued....always looking for my next watch
Also...don't sweat the COSC cert....doesn't mean it's a bad watch or, as you point out, can't keep accurate time. IMHO, to some extent these days, I think politics is involved in watches getting their COSC cert
