        That is a lovely watch you've got there, loghill. Classic chronograph design. Late 60s, is it?

          What do you guys think of the Luminox 1848.
          I dig this style but the price seems a bit high at 450, is it worth it, or are there any similar watches?

            I've always been a big fan of the German stuff…Sinn, Stowa, and the independents like Thomas Ninchritz, Dornbluth, etc. Lately my day to day has been my Sinn 757, a TN Regulateur, PAM 000 (non German I know), or a Sinn EZM3. I also love the high end Japanese pieces, especially the high end quartz models. My EDC for about a year was a Citizen Chronomaster (was +1 sec/year on my wrist!). I am still working out how to post pics, but I have some to share.

              You may wish also to consider this brand, about the same price point:

                    Very nice.  Does the chrono actually function?

                        Very cool.  I like the face & dial color accents.  Good one for dressing it up a bit.

                                These are my current two favorites along with a Sinn U1, a Sinn 757, Doxa Sub, and Rolex Explorer. The above are a Thomas Ninchritz regulateur and an Ennebi Fondale, the movement on the TN is just gorgeous!

                                  The Ennebi looks fabulous. I did not know the brand until now - looking at their website revealed some interesting watches…

                                  Here are two more from my watch vault:

                                  This is a watch I inherited from my uncle - not very pricey in terms of money but priceless to me. It was his first "real" watch when he finally earned some money as a radio and TV technician in the Fifties after the grim post-war years.

                                  This is my "daily driver", trusty old Sinn Chrono with the same case as the Heuer Bundeswehr, but with a automatic movement:

                                  Illegitimi non carborundum

                                    That's a lovely pair.  I actually like the watch from your uncle a lot.  Always loved the tricompax layout for chronographs.

                                      Yep, the layout is classical. And I love the patina of the watch dial. I had the movement refurbished a few years ago but made sure the watchmaker did not touch the look.

                                        Excellent decision.  Is it a Venus movement?  Those will run forever with just a minimum amount of care.

                                          Honestly, I do not know. According to my watchmaker it is not very sophisticated but reliable - so he paraphrased your post 😉
