Precision like quality...

Classic and lovely watches. I love vintage riveted steel bracelets!
Leather straps looks so classy and elegant!
Nice pieces, enjoy and thanks for sharing.

That's a nice one.... I really like the dagger hands... very classy..

I would like to think that when I get older and I've owned all the cool watches anyone might want I will retire with an old Rollie Oyster and a nice view of the sea...

Totally agree mate, just like the Oyster Perpetual.
Overlooked and very underated.

Thnak for the comments guys and great watches all. As stated the simplicity really shines through as a design statement in these watches. Here is an out of focus shot but shows the roulette wheel (red/black) and open 6
