My tastes must be on a two year rotation. It’s nice to daydream that you pop into a quiet charity shop and find one these pieces, not sure I could ever drop the sort of money these things now fetch.
@jv The Seiko and Citizen bullheads are the first that spring to mind although one’s huge and the other tiny. I bought a Citizen on ebay ~ 8 years ago and subsequently learned it was a redial and the case was badly spray painted although it seems to run/set/fly back OK. There are soooo many fakes out there. At least my mistake only cost £90 iirc, even the shitters seen to sell for crazy money now due to the impressive 8110 movement. Every now and again I dig it out and pick some more paint off it.

Ha, I saw you comment on that mint Evil Nina, what a piece. I was trawling the old sales ads and found some stunners although the prices in the last two years have rocketed. Lusting after something with the Micro-rotor so I picked up this cheap linen dial Hamilton to play with in the meantime (£100).
