Some true watch pr0n

Came across this while reading up on my object of desire (6159-700x divers) sometime last month ...

The historical edition 300m 8L35 MM300 is no slouch, but the older one easily has *much* better aesthetics. I want to add the older 6159 to my collection some day ... I will happily give up all of my existing watches (except a quartz 7548) for this one.

Who here owns an example of this beautiful 6159?

I don't...not yet anyway.

Gorgeous photos....thanks for posting.

The 6159 is a technically superior watch, but I prefer the original 300m diver, the 6215:

That 6215 is gorgeous! They are so rare to come by. Enjoy yours, and take good care of it!

No, here's some true watch porn



I have this ad by the way because the nice lady is wearing a Synchronar LED sunwatch.  A rare and expensive piece.  I own one.

Cool watch! Looks like it was the inspiration for the $63,000 MB&F HM5:

wow damn that's a cool watch.

The Synchronar is a really odd and unusual watch, invented by a guy named Riehl in the early 70s.  He wanted a fully enclosed, waterproof quartz LED watch.  The steel case holds an entirely sealed solar-powered movement.  The circuits were all-hand made, and any repairs or adjustments had to be made by the company.  The company existed all the way up to the 2006 or so timeframe.
