      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:

        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 😉

                  Ipad is underwhelming in general, in my opinion.

                  Nice watches, though.  I especially like the Thomas Ninchritz, which is surprising, since I'm not normally into regulateurs.

                    OOOOHH Ennebi Fondale! That's one of my dream watches, been lusting for one since I first saw it. Very nice good sir!

                    Here's my Benarus Sea Devil on a OD Zulu. Very comfy!¨

                    AIAN HA-TO!

                              Picked up a G-shock GWM5600. My Seiko is picking up chips and what not.

                                    …not that there's anything wrong with a nicer watch

                                    someday, I dream of a GMT-Master II...

                                      Thinking of taking the plunge and getting myself a decent watch for my 'gulp' 40th.
                                      I don't have much experience with watches (got a sturdy silver metal G-Shock right now…love it) and am looking at spending no
                                      more than 1000-1200 euros. Ideally i'd like something solid (don't want a primadonna watch that scratches easy)
                                      and that looks good with tan leather, silver and rubber straps.
                                      I've seen the Sinn U1, the Steinhart Triton Black (sold out goddam it!) and the Marathon GSAR so far.
                                      Anyone care to point me in the direction of any other worthy contenders?
                                      Would really appreciate the help.
                                      Thanks

                                            my favorite of my many watches.  I used to be addicted to watches but lately my tastes have switched more towards Iron Heart and similar things that drain my bank account
