So, decided that rather than spending a few grand on one watch (that I’d be too worried about to wear) I’m going to spend the same amount on building a small collection of interesting watches. The first one in this “post-cancer” collection is this, a Pompeak Gentleman’s Classic in British Racing Green. I’ll be adding another 4-5 watches to the collection in the coming weeks and I’ll post those as and when they arrive.

“Open heart” safe Citizen movement. Good start and not a bad looking watch. Enjoy building up your collection.

Those Steinharts are lovely, and not silly priced - The new Nova 39 will be my next.
I have that green 42 too, yet to control the precision.
My OC1 Red run a bit too fast, not sure It bothers me that much in rotation.

I think they are very good. I have had mine regulated by a watchmaker. It was a bit slow for a while. I can now control it by its position at night. Flat to speed it up a touch, on it’s edge to slow it slightly. Some of the models have a better movement.
What a coincidence, I’ve just cottoned onto this a few days back, and particularly relates to people who have Timegraphers. For example, my Omega gains time throughout the day, so at night I leave it Crown down

I have an App on my phone which seems pretty accurate. Called Watch Accuracy Meter. Quite fun.

Being retired, a few seconds makes little difference to me. Come to that a few minutes or even hours make little difference either. That said, my JLC is incredibly accurate and seems to keep bang on timing for months on end.

Wow Lange 1 Timezone perchance?

That’s the one yes. I did hesitate with the Lange 1 Moonphase for a while, but I prefer the Timezone complication. And it’s more useful for me who keep travelling between Europe and Asia.

You gave excellent taste. They are all quite stylish and unique looking pieces.

I have a weakness for watches. Especially ones with a 24 hour dial. Not everyone’s cup of tea but they are mine. This is new to me. A self gift on the basis that from this month I receive a state pension. Shocked. Botta is a German watchmaker that specialises in 24 hour watches; both two handed and single handed (just the hour hand). Of course, when the hands only traverse once a day then there is a choice: 12 on top or 24 on top. I prefer 12 on top because the top half of the dial is broadly daylight. This is a 45mm dial but it sits comfortably and the larger size means there is a space to make the dial quite clean in design terms.
