You'll fit in well here, rare! There are some great watches in the "playground" in proper sizes, not suitable for Le Club Gorille.

Gorgeous Longines!

I'm afraid I'm wearing my Sturmanskaya only until postie arrives later this morning but this is a watch which stood on the very edge of EBay and which I pulled back: it's not going anywhere now.

Thank you. In reality the dial is not quite so pale as this photo has it.

And thank you too. I put an exhibition back on it and then hid the exhibition back behind a leather NATO. Silly isn't it?

I think it's a great looking movement based on the Valjoux 7734 but improved by having more jewels. This one came from Israel and whether it started life there as a Soviet export or even milsurp I can't say for sure. There are no clues on the case back which is unmarked inside and out. I'm having a thin out in the watch drawer but one thing I've learned is to distinguish between those watches to which I don't form an attachment which can be flipped without a second glance and those I'll regret selling and end up replicating. So far I have two replacements in the drawer, one very close shave and two definite "keep whatever happens" of which this is one.

My 1982 Tudor Prince Oysterdate 74000. Its in remarkable condition, the photo doesn't do it justice.

This was from the era when the Tudor's came in Rolex cases and bracelets. Although I've had to take the bracelet off for now, as the adjustment on it is extremely fiddly and I don't want to damage it!

Many thanks!

I've had to order another strap though as this is only a 16mm, its just a touch too narrow
