So thanks to Chris (Don Ciccio), I now can't get the idea of owning a nice example off my mind. I need one, seriously... *image borrowed from web*   |

I agree. I'm solely focused on Seiko but am close to veering into the vintage Heuer / Omega realm. I love the Speedy and the Pasadena. Both wonderful straightforward designs. Ahhhh the temptation....

I'm glad and sorry at the same time that I got you craving vintage Heuers now buddy. Go for one of those jumbo divers I've been tempting you with. You won't be disappointed. Here is my latest bundle of joy. 
She's in beater mode for now, but if I restore her to her former glory I'll do a step by step for the board. |

Agree on all points, McQueen was too sexy, Chich is a bastard . . . wasn't that mentioned somewhere  and the Heuer classics are incredible, the Autavia chrono that Chich lumped upon us last week blew my bag, and to make matters worse I'm now seriously looking out for my first example of a chrono . . . damn, you guys are a shocking influence !!! |

The Autavias are great. A Jo Siffert is up there on my list along with a Zenith a386 and a JLC Memovox.  |
