I once had a close look at one of those at a watch fair. Very attractive but too prominent on the wrist for me.

Likewise for me... as is the case with 90% of these watches. He liked 'em big. I prefer 40mm or less, he preferred 42mm and up.

This Mühle M1 is a much better fit, 40mm sweet spot, 10mm thick, minimal and clean. A keeper for now.



And the big Captain has found a new home.

Owned that same Muhle model years back. It left as part of a "trading up" exercise....which helped me learn how noisy a 7750 chrono can be LOL

That Muhle is one of the most legible analog watches I recall seeing! Enjoy!

Today's selection: Oris BigCrown ProPilot "Air Racing" Ti GMT, a really long name for a very nice watch!

Still exploring the possible keepers, KonTiki Quartz chronograph today. Very attractive watch, with my favorite 252.264. If I don't keep it, the only reason is lack of need.

I already have that exact one, which comes on black rubber with blue waterproof leather, and the black and grey dial on the factory bracelet ( the one I wore on my three hand Kon Tiki yesterday). If it were the orange version, I would be trying pretty hard to persuade you that you didn't need it.

Aeromatic B-type which my friend used as a test for re-luming with dayglow orange hands. Not really sellable, nor particularly a keeper.

Well, you don't struggle to see the hands at first glance. The manufacturer may have also used that color on the circle around the hour track.

No, he purchased some various colors of lume and tried repainting these hands, because the original red was hard to see, and they probably had very little or no lume to start with. They are certainly more visible now!
