Kinell. Serious bargain.
This should really go to a collector… If only we had one on here…

If only I still wore watches…
Are you still pretending you are not going to buy it?! Bloody hell, two days now. Get it bought.

I like it, but it’s too good to wear. Perversely, if it was a scruffy old one it’d get some wear and I’d probably have it. So, no.
I’m really liking this one.

It’s another one of those modern takes with a simple, clean design. I like that.
The Aera is sexy as hell though, that A-13A not so much. I do like it and see the resemblance.
You’re going to hate me for this as well but I prefer a watch without a chronograph function really 
This ^^^

With the added bonus that you can read it without having to pop on the reading glasses.

I do think the central ones are the best type though.

Down in Brighton with the family this week. Today I took the train here:
to pick up this:
My grandfather’s IWC Mark XI which he passed to me just before I left home for university in 1990. He died shortly after, and the watch soon stopped working following an incident involving a luminous frisbee and lots of beer…
It sat unloved in a box of knick-knacks for the next 30 years. Never forgotten, but not given the attention it deserved.
Fast forward to 2021 and while PMing @dom about the Modwright amplifier he was selling, I enquired about getting the watch repaired. I was completely unaware of the popularity of these watches and the prices they can command. It was a nice surprise which brought a smile to my old dear’s face. She remembers her dad wearing the watch when she was a child.
My original post-repair plan was to immediately sell or auction the watch and hold the money for FoL. After wearing it today, I may hang onto it for a while 
Thanks again to @dom for his help, skill and expertise.

Missed you by a couple of hours, I was also @dom this afternoon picking up a speedie that needed a bit of work.
Then I went back to Brighton to pick up some records from Resident.
A great record shop and worth a visit if you are in Brighton for a few days,
Beautiful IWC.
