It absolutely deserves to be worn. Not too dressy either, a perfect daily wearer imo.
That’s an absolute gem! A digital chrono and rare at that! I’d wear that with pride!
Thanks Andrew.
My research suggests that it's a Breitling Aerospace Titanium.
The commission is for the Op Telic and Tornado details.
This is vumber 28 of 50
Exactly, rare! an absolutely wonderful piece that you should cherish. I know I would!
And here's a steinhart GMT. Lovely Swiss piece with eta movement 2893-2. It's not half bad!
Luxury or fine swiss? It could certainly be argued! Thoughts? It's shiney!

And that’s a lovely looking watch too!Oooo, I've been eying one of those up - What do you make of it?
Meanwhile, my German engineering met it's British oppo...
And that’s a lovely looking watch too!
As for the steinhart, build quality is rather excellent actually. It’s quite surprising! The design lends it feel a little large though unfortunately. I guess it depends on your preference to size but with a watch like that above I think the steinhart will feel right at home!
started taking a few images of my watches
Here's the latest acquisition - Navitimer Airborne 33030
Most Navitimers are much bigger 41/43mm - this model from 1995/6 is 38mm and I feel that it can therefore be worn as a dress watch on the odd occasion
On a Breitling leather strap and buckle - the dial has started to fade nicely - lovely piece of kit!

I've a newer Seamaster quartz which I've been wearing for over ten years and love it, it's the ideal daily wearer.Thanks Ian
The quartz are worth quite a bit now as they didn’t make or sell many. Almost the same price for like for like models quartz vs auto at the moment for he second hand market!I've a newer Seamaster quartz which I've been wearing for over ten years and love it, it's the ideal daily wearer.
Would love an automatic though admittedly have been looking at Panerai lately.
Interesting. Mine is a mid size and was discontinued before the full size ones I believe too.The quartz are worth quite a bit now as they didn’t make or sell many. Almost the same price for like for like models quartz vs auto at the moment for he second hand market!
Well if your after an auto it may be worth trading it in assuming your not after more of the sameInteresting. Mine is a mid size and was discontinued before the full size ones I believe too.
I do fancy a larger one tbh. The mid size is lovely, just want something with a bit more real estate so to speak (and the automatic is a bit more special to me)Well if your after an auto it may be worth trading it in assuming your not after more of the same
Photographically, the first since the background's less distracting (the cartoon figures make the others look like they're aimed at children IMO.) From the watch's POV, while the hands are in the "right" place to show them off, the fact that the crown's unscrewed and there's no strap or bracelet fitted makes it look unloved.
FWIW, if I leave mine unwound for too long, it throws a hissy fit and doesn't want to work! That's one reason it's my daily wearer, despite it being the least accurate of my selection (the other, main reason is that it was Mum's wedding gift to Dad nearly 60 years ago so has great sentimental value and is a constant reminder of them for me.)
Im thinking of buying another watch, this time im wanting something plain, simple, classic and be very legible in most conditions. Im not wanting to spend big money this time. I have my Bremont which is a pilot type so something different from that. So far i have saw a couple by Nomos and Stowa. Anyone got anything from either these companys, how do you rate them. It wont be an investment watch so something i can happily wear and not bother much. Cheers.
No Bill not really looked into them to be honest. I would love an older Daytona( white face) though but they have gone through the roof in recent years. Im looking for mimimalist style but something i can wear with a t-shirt ir a suit. The Stowa is around £1000 and the Nomos just over £2000 so something in that range would be nice.
I like this style- https://nomos-glashuette.com/en/ahoi/ahoi-555
This is the sort of Stowa- https://www.stowa.de/en/Antea+back+to+bauhaus+white.htm
Yeah i can get used, not fussed if new or used, i just buy on condition if used as it needs to be mint. Have been looking at various sites so any sites you can think of in case i havent looked yet.
Ok what is the “SC” forum? Looking at the likes of watchfinder, watchuseek etc etc but if the price is close i would just buy new as im not looking to sell for a long long time so wouldnt lose until i came to sell.
