Re: Been shopping!
The Westerland is an absolute stunner Guy , congrats . That is a watch I have been looking at myself , and the Dortmund . I believe these are accurate , they do use the ETA 2801 Elabore *, which is an accurate work horse . Looking forward to some pics of it on the wrist . I'm very pleased for you Guy , a fantastic choice .

Re: Been shopping!
Ok then Guy, that’s a Laco for the German hand cranker. A Dodane for French Quartz (planned) and a Matwatches AG5 Legion tactical chrono for another French Quartz.
A good mornings work.
I imagine that many of us have gone out and returned with a speculative or spontaneous watch purchase, however planned, speculative and spontaneous in one hit is going some!

Re: Been shopping!
Top notch Nigel, you got in first with the suggestion of an MAT Watches watch.nigelb001 wrote:Page and Cooper. Looks expensive Is there a MAT in there somewhere? + others by the look of it.
@nbg, @Smegwina - close Neil but Nick is correct. I posted about the Regatta Timer in the 'dreaming' thread last week.
On the basis of my known likings for Tactical / Military watches I understand your choice, particularly as I have no affinity for Yachting, no affiliation to the French America Cup team and, outside of sailing, who on earth needs a watch on which the Chrono initially counts back got ten minutes and then goes forward for up to 30 hours.
I just like the size and colourway of it, quite similar to my Magrette MPP Kara, and think the Chrono is cool. Plus it was ex-photos watch so bought at a discount.

Spot on Patrick. Type 23 quartz with bracelet and genuine Alligator strap.Thegreyman wrote:^^^definitely (I think) a Dodane 1857
I'd been thinking of this since the end of last year, saw it a few days and ordered it the day before Sue died. It is my planned purchase and will be a memorable watch.
Everything apart from the movement, is made in Besançon, with the Alligator strap being made a short distance from Dodane's workshop, by a company that mainly makes handbags and other leather goods.
It's on the bracelet, which needs sizing but it is a fabulous piece with some lovely individual features.

Re: Been shopping!
^^^that Dodane looks great. I remember we discussed it a month or two ago and remarked on the Elite-like colour scheme. It's a really stylish and individual looking watch

Interesting technical info Bernie; thanks. The Dortmund would be my Type B choice but I'm more than happy to get a Type A.tempusmaximus wrote:The Westerland is an absolute stunner Guy , congrats .

Movement is stated as the Laco 01, but guess its got to be based on something else with (likely?) modifications.
Your knowledge on this is way more encyclopedic than mine.
I must admit that website photos are pretty underwhelming but in the flesh its great and, moreover, I though it was about time that I got a bronze watch.
