Nice watches! The "Sinn" font on the faces looks just like Porsche's font, makes me think of the watches as automotive dials.

My favorites are Tudors and Omegas. I am blessed with an Omega pie pan, that just screams to be looked at.

Actually they are designed to look like analogue aviation instruments. Originally Posted by RMarsh

I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

I think many of you will find this very interesting, probably the worlds finest watches.

How about sundials? Stowa makes a little one that's fully functional and you can wear it around your neck. Originally Posted by JBHoren

The hippy in me says anything non digital, but Sorry no watch currently and had no real need for a while now, with a clock on the wall, microwave, computer at work, phone at work, mobile phone & even on my iPad I am using now, but I really like and prefer watches with fully exposed mechanisms now this is what truly pleases the eyes.
Something about the old school look of being able to actually see the time go by does it for me. Cheers DSaved,

Big Spendur, a question for you or anyone else, please,,,sort of on topic,,
2 weeks ago this watch was passed down to me. It belonged to my great grandmother, she carried it as a young girl in the late 1890's. It had been passed down through the women in our the family, but was re-routed to me, rather than my sister( it would have been on Ebay by now
) , I'm the keeper of the family records on my mother's side.
It does not run, it appears in fine shape. I would like to have a professional look at it. I have tried my GOOGLE FU for South Florida, but no results. Do you know a trusted professional who could evaluate it? What would you do?
