Invicta Europe sell Glycines as well as Invictas & cos I've bought a few bits off them they sent me a free gift and a generous discount voucher. I've sold 5 cheaper watches over the last month & thought this would be a worthy addition to the collection, last one for a bit... ;)Quote:

Very nice, the Monaco was always a classic... I like the slightly off-centre, off ballance layout of the Orient.Quote:

In the meantime a real one came along at a good price so I snapped it up.
I found this Pepsi auto on eBay so I bought that too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ebc1d50682.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b50d40ec4d.jpg

Yes, it looks like the sub dials were an afterthought & the designer was drunk.Quote:

The Mondaine is a quartz, I really want the Stop 2 go but it's quite pricy as you might expect. This one came with it's original box and paperwork and the Mondaine leather strap as well as the mesh one, all for a shade under £50.Quote:

Their website is well worth a look. https://www.cousinsuk.com/
Thanks for the link Ian, keenly priced, I've ordered 4 straps including a sometimes difficult to get 28mm one for this beastQuote:

sorry i dont like that:lol:
Yes, it's a bit like having a wardrobe strapped to your wrist & black hands on a black face isn't ideal for a watches primary function but it sits as a curiosity in the collection.Quote:

I need to show this to the wife... to prove that having several watches isn't unusual, and that my little collection is nothing to worry about.... Thanks Roy, I owe you one.!Quote:

My favourite watch 'style', got a fair number of variations on this theme including the 'real deal'Quote:

Good stuff Roy, the black strap will suit the "Beast" well.Quote:

Surely the first watch qualified by NASA for manned space flight and on the moon was the Speedmaster Pro that used the 321 movement as I recall..!Quote:

I thought exactly the same as you, this is a used watch and wasn't overly expensive so it might have the wrong case back. I did remove the back and the movement is genuine but I'm not certain of the correct calibre for this model. Whatever the truth it was cheap so I'm a happy bunny :DQuote:

Looking closely, the chronograph inset dials aren't for 0-30 mins, hours and 0-60 std watch time seconds as they should be on a Seamaster Planet Ocean.

Sadly you could well be right, I'll chalk it up to experience. I look on these things as swings and roundabouts, I've had some cracking deals on many things over the years so if I get my fingers burnt once in a while then so be it. Anyway it looks pretty and would fool another stupid person lol. :D
I'd suggest that's the perfect approach..Quote:

I was going to ask what you’d been timing when I saw the sweep second hand wasn’t at 12 Ian.
Still a decent looking automatic watch though.
Nice looking watch.Quote:

I wasn't royally ripped off over the price but more than you'd like to pay for a "homage" watch. Like I said in an earlier post I won't dwell on it for too long. Looks nice in the display box though :DQuote:
