StormTooper4 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thought I'd take a group shot of my Chronographs Interesting that the PAM seems to be on the smaller size though appears the heftiest. Also there is a wide price range here though the quality differences are not that much. Show us your Chrono group shots. ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 IWC CD 2008 - it´s a beautiful one and the PAM 212 Flyback with domed chrystal and 1950´s casing All others are quartz like this TAG with swiss ronda, so You really can use them or diving watches with the unidirectional bezel, fastest for counting minutes anyway:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice one gents , Lhooq , thats a group shot and then some. That Tag Autavia and Broad Arrow Omega are particularly special Umpahimself, that King Power is very unique . How different do you find those 2 AP's . I had a ROO and it was a bit top heavy for me. That RO looks slimmer, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks, guys! ST4: As you might be able to deduce from my second pic, I rather like what Autodromo's done to revive the best of early 1970s designs! Small correction, though: That's a Heuer Carrera from 1970. The Autavia has a rotating bezel. Umpa: I very nearly bought an MBK Royal Oak (ref. 15400, in blue) while I was in Bangkok a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, the seller (an old RWG member) backed out at the last minute. Bc1221: I definitely exceeded my silver-dial Daytona quota. But every time I try to put one together in black, fate intervenes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmpaHimself Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Umpahimself, that King Power is very unique . How different do you find those 2 AP's . I had a ROO and it was a bit top heavy for me. That RO looks slimmer, is it? I haven't seen another All Black posted. Looked through M2Ms for over a year and when I found it I bought it on the spot. Same with the Chronopassion. Yes much slimmer. Very comfortable. It's actually a quartz but probably the highest quality quartz I have owned. Sapphire crystal, very smooth bracelet and really nice tight clasp. Plus it's a closed caseback. Umpa: I very nearly bought an MBK Royal Oak (ref. 15400, in blue) while I was in Bangkok a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, the seller (an old RWG member) backed out at the last minute. It happens, I bought and sold the special blueface 15400 from Mary and Rochest recently. Was actually very nice for the money if you can get over the white date wheel. Just wasn't for, me style-wise.

Nightwatch Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Amazing collection of Chronos that came together here. Just wonderful, now I have to come back here and study several one by one again:) But it will be fun . Great leatherstraps Ihooq, love them. Stormtrooper: the RO is a slim watch 11,4mm, elegant microstepper quartz with small ticking secs at 6 (non-disturbing) locked main seconds at 12, this sweeps like a 21j if the Chrono is on. It´s very nice and solid, annoying point is the duplication of subdials at 6 for seconds and the same at 9 for minutes. I read Trusty has also one without this duplication but haven´t had a look yet. it´s even lumed but wears off relatively fast (unlike the Explorer or others) the hands remain barely readable in a dark room.

lhooq Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nightwatch: Thanks! The leather NATO on the Junghans is from RWG member mcotter. The straps on the Hanhart and the Gallet are from Stowa, which carries some of the best low-cost, pilot-style straps I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Martu straps the best priced with quality I´ve seen. This will be fun:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I haven't posted much lately but here's a quick one. Here are some of my favorite rep chronographs that I've owned. I've owned plenty more but these are the ones I found pictures from... and that ring a bell. I don't buy reps that often anymore. I think the last one I purchased was back in 2010. Breitling BCE. V2 I think. Very nice rep but the greenish chewing-gum like hour markers pisssed me off. Navitimer two-tone. This one I loved but it never fit my wrist properly and it was too garish. Great rep though. Skyland v2. Best Breitling chrono rep there is (or at least was). Awesome build quality. Breitling Chronomat B01. Ditto. Very well built rep. The only issue was the lackluster AR. The infamous seconds at '6 Daytona. Actually the watch in the picture was a friend's rep but I owned a similar one for a few weeks. I'm a classic Rolex man through and through but I never really understood the attraction of Daytona (old or new). Visually it's rather boring watch and wears very small. Ebel 1911 Chronograph. Now this was a funny one. Bought it back in 2004 from Richard Lawton's collection. It was a quartz rep but a decent one at that. My first rep chronograph. That's why I added it. Ebel 1911 BTR. Still the best built rep I've ever owned. The bracelet was spectacularly good, very gen like. Loved this watch. Sold it because I was going to get a gen but then never did. Ebel 1911 Discovery. A legendary replication. I still have this one and will keep it for good. Audemars Piguet Seven Sails: This was quite well made piece. Just added it because it was the only AP I've owned. I'm not a AP guy, really. Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow. A rep classic with the hand wind Venus. I also owned briefly two other Venus chronos. Speedmaster black and Speedmaster "reduced" which was very inaccurate but fun. TAG Heuer Aquaracer 45mm, I loved this watch so much that I bought a gen (a 41mm version though). TAG Heuer Link. I made a review of this and it created quite a lot of sales. Old school dealers actually all owe me at least a few free watches because those old reviews got tens of thousands of views and those greedy Chinese bastards laughed all the way to the bank. Anyway this was pretty much the first ever "super rep". It was very accurate (and still is). And I still own this. I got it back in 2005 or 2006. Still running like a champ. Actually I just wore it yesterday. Has a few dings and battlescars but it's been surprisingly reliable. A7750 is a great movement, apparently. I can post some more if I can remember something worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hey J! Welcome back! What a great presentation... That's a heck of a collection! Aw well I might as well show my one and only lonely chrono, this is an AOPA Gigandet triple date, a precursor to the Navitimer. I've never seen another one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
