I used to have a manual wind Omega that was very similar, but the case was stainless steel. My father had bought it (in Egypt or somewhere similar) while doing his National Service as a doctor in the RAF. He gave it to his father, my grandfather, after the first automatic Rolexes came out. I inherited the Omega on my grandfather’s death. ---

I’ve just got one of those. It is remarkably good for the price. My default travel beater. ---

I’m having a bit of a watch collection sort out this morning and I’m not sure whether I’ve ever posted about this rather interesting and very rare watch. It’s a Nivada Grenchen automatic chronograph which used a TDBK “Kelek” Caliber from around 1974/5. The sub-dials are all slightly different in size and seemingly randomly placed, earning the nickname of “drunken panda”. The dial is gorgeous with creamy aged lume and a beautiful grey sunburst pattern that shimmers in the light. It’s a bit weird but also rather wonderful and far more interesting than so many others - I love it! ![image](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/5/a5cfb99b51492b5ce494e3e9e28ff466f1f93858.jpeg) In the background on the left is a ‘60s Avia Marino with a Landeron movement, and on the right a ‘60s Lator with a Valjoux 92. ---

Interesting.Love the sunburst. Is it a regular shaped dial? It looks slightly distorted but that may be the camera angle. ---

Yes, the distortion is down to the camera (iPhone). The TDBK Caliber, a collaborative effort between Tenor-Dorly, Dubois-Depraz, Brac, and Kelek, was only made for one year as it proved to be rather unreliable. As such, working survivors are few. ---

I can’t stop looking at that Ventura watch. Is that the quartz model? The web site says dimensions 24x36.5mm which sounds a little small. What’s it wear like? ---

Yes, it is the quartz model. Mine is 32.3X50.3. I find it wears just perfect on my 6.75 inch wrist. ---

Talking of watches, my daughter (long story) needs some insurance cover. But not adding it to the contents policy as they are moving over the next 4 months and in temporary places. Anyone can recommend? Thanks in advance , we did see a company called Ripevaluables offering such insurance but was looking for anyone who had done the same. Cheers ---

**Just the right size** It’s a bit of an Explorer II with a touch of Daytona, stuck in a DEEPSEA 44 mm, crossed with a Yacht-Master 44 mm. It’s Apple Watch Ultra 49 mm, or is it an APPLEX ![IMG_3011](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/5/856142301af25b2e6a2df8e89d5ab7dd12ce4b7c.jpeg) ![IMG_3013](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/7/a/7a111d59dc7f283a41ebc58cac8e7ceb89f92f70.jpeg) ![IMG_3018](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/f/efead61b36d5097989cbf29eb5679a18620c2dd0.jpeg) Well it looks like the Apple Watch Ultra is targeting the extreme sport smart watch market ( Garmin, Suunto, Polar) but looking at some of the adds you would think that Rolex was the target. ![If you were looking](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/6/d6c9ec21c857a817a6c9a641a7790dc0f58b69cf.jpeg) ![Apple-Watch-Ultra-Underwater-1](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/1/51d4962dd81bd11d7d800159e957c66042d896fe.jpeg) ![Apple-Watch-Ultra-lifestyle-endurance-220907-scaled](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/b/8b4702d45e96d1c2e87252675ac0e34534522104.jpeg) ![We built the Rolex Explorer because there isn't](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/2/52cacfb1c56dfb621e4d359bceff3db1b603a298.jpeg) **Apple Watch Ultra -20° C to 55° C** On-wrist operating temperature that can endure chilly mountaintops or searing desert heat. ![Apple Ultra Shot](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/9/a9e2c55da13e6fb064b179bbea1ca6541987e595.jpeg) I have taken some liberty with the filter and rotation settings on a couple of the Apple Watch Ultra pictures just to show how close the adds are to Rolex adds from the 60s. ---

After about 17 hrs of usage so far including a 14.5 k tracked walk it’s showing 70% battery remaining. Suns out, of for a hike with the dog. ---

I think Apple were saying 36 hours so yours sounds better. Garmin says up to 34 days. [Previous page](https://community.naimaudio.com/t/your-watch-naim/4782.md?page=160) [Next page](https://community.naimaudio.com/t/your-watch-naim/4782.md?page=162)
