Gents, I was going through my watch collection trying to select a special time piece for my son's wedding. I decided on this Vintage Bucherer Chronometer. What do you think?

Classy!

Sadly, I only own three watches, and wear only two(the third is a Nike digital)
Today, going yet again with the Citizen.

This may be a watch thread, but now you are venturing into my world! Nice Kimber!

Most days, it's a Breitling Chronomat Evolution. I have other nice watches, but none of them really do it for me the way this one does.

Another nice watch!

Is that made by the jewelery store? Or is the name just a coincidence?

You are correct. The Chronometers were made by Rolex and rebadged for Carl F. Bucherer. They are mainly sold in Europe.

Thank you, sir. These can be found rather reasonably (comparatively) on the 'bay quite often. There are a few sellers in particular who specialize in them.

I took a look at the place with the most watches, no more Omegas(Joel was looking for one too)
But there were some Hamiltons, Gruens Elgins, Bulovas, Wittenauers, but none that caught my attention like the Seamaster I found for you.
They also have a box full of busted up watches, $10 each. Most are just missing hands and crowns, have a cracked or missing crystal, or a super heavy patina.

Not a great picture. I got my wife a Doxa Nymph a couple years ago, so we can wear matching watches (I know it's corny, we also have a pair of matching anoraks!)

Ray, that's a beautiful vintage Elgin. It's approximately from the 40's. Thus, it's about 32mm wide with a large crown. I live it.

Hi chaps rocking a 1978 Buler digital chrono today keepin an eye out for a good vintage LED at the moment. For those thinking this is an expensive AD it neednt be there are plenty of excellent swiss made manual and automatic readily available for less than £30.00 sometimes way less just look for the more obscure makers

Mike
Owner of: Tressa Automatic, Lanco direct read manual, Buler manual, Lucerne Manual, Buler Digital, Benrus Electronic (very nice and my fave) and a modern Nixon 365 only the nixon was more than £50.00 and all are in excellent condition The Benrus and the Lanco were NOS the Buler Digital is a similar level. Keep faith there are excellent makers out there aside from Omega Breitling and Rolex!
