    The new Bell & Ross is very nice. Dare I say Gerald Genta-ish? Not too big either…

      I like the Skeleton Blue version of that watch.

        I saw one (pretty sure it was that model) in St Thomas last winter and it is impressive. I’m not too sure how popular it is, the dealer was giving good discounts on B&R. [emoji2369]

            Not my cup of tea at all  ::)

              Very 70s retro futuristic look to it.  The always on LED display is interesting, too.  I can see how it would appeal to some, but it's not my preference.

                I also like automatic watches more than quarz ones. But always on display is very interesting to me. But the price of about €600 is also "interesting" for a quarz watch.

                  The Pulsar's display isn't always on. The reissue has a reflective LCD with an OLED light to illuminate it when needed.

                  As for the price point, there are some pricey quartz watches out there. Some of the metal G-Shocks cost about the same (or more), particularly the titanium models or the MR-G range. Omega, Citizen, and Seiko (particularly Grand Seiko) have even more expensive options.

                      It's an early 80's call-out. As such, it's not bad. Not sure that's the first thing I'd bring back from the early 80's, but then again, not sure what I'd want to bring back from the early 80's anyways…  :-\

                        Tudor have announced a blue version of the Black Bay Fifty-Eight. It's available on a couple of straps or a bracelet.

                        I've never seen one of the original Fifty-Eights in an AD, despite them being out for two years, so I'm guessing that this is another unobtainable watch.

                        More details at Hodinkee and Monochrome.

                          I am new to this group and figured I would share my primary watch I wear.  Its a Bulova Spaceview circa approx 1965 or so.  I grew up with my dad owning one he got new (and still wears) and always wanted one.  I got this one about 20 years ago.  I found the Bulova period band about a year or so ago.  It is a great watch but you can't lay it on the bed stand or the hum will keep you awake.

                            I’ve heard those accutrons can hum themselves right off the table!

                                My love of watches and knives came from my Grandpa. My mom recently brought over a box of old watches for me to go through. It has sat since he died in 1990. There were some cool 1980 digital watches, but this one stood out. I wasn’t familiar with the brand, but it appeared to work properly. After a bit of research I realized what an incredible find it is.

                                He was a diesel mechanic for the army. It is engraved with where he lived as a contractor during Vietnam in 1968.

                                    Swapped out the bracelet for shell strap. Pretty sharp for a 50 something year old watch.

                                          Thanks guys.  I appreciate it.  It has tremendous sentimental value and I'm happy it's in working condition so I can enjoy wearing it.
