DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Simon, Thanks for your post. The more I look at them, the more I like them.

Moving on from the Panerai size shock. Whilst I was in the jewellers, I started to look at the Tudor range, in particular the Black Bay 58. I’ve never really considered a Tudor, but was impressed by the quality. I now find they do a bronze version which I’ve seen on the web. I’m not sure which stock...

Maybe if I’d been wearing a bigger watch instead of a 36mm, it wouldn’t have been such a shock. It certainly looked very well made, the case finish was very nice.

I went to see the watch this afternoon. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was way too big for my wrist. It’s the biggest watch I’ve ever tried on.

Thanks for your posts guys. That’s a very interesting article Jason, I knew a little about the movements, but didn’t realise it had had such a detrimental effect on their overall reputation.
I’ll still go for a look to test the size, but need I need to give this more thought.

Do any of you have a view on Panerai. The more I see them, the more they grow on me. They are big, so I’m not sure my wrist is big enough. I’m going to see a 44mm Luminor Marina tomorrow, just to check the size. They do various sizes, but the shop only has the 44mm in stock.

I only tried diesels briefly, they could bite your finger on startup.

Here here. I’ve been looking for a cheap one for ages

I’ve flown model planes on and off since my childhood. It’s a great hobby.

What a fantastic idea. I use the same storage boxes, but usually have to shuffle them to get to the right one.

Many thanks for the new replies. I’ve passed them on.

Many thanks for the replies, I will pass them on.

A friend of mine has had his 72 Targa restored. He’s currently in the process of putting it back together. He’s asked me to post this on his behalf. His local car window specialist has declined to fit the rear window, as they didn’t remove it. So the question is - Does anyone know a trusted fitter t...
