    I own the Selten and it,s amazing how they made such a great watch for the prize. I was sure, there would be some corner cutting, but no. Only gripes I have is the bracelet endlinks, not a quality, but a design issue. Also it's quite thick, but it comes from the amazing dial with floating hourmarkers.
    Also waiting for my Bel Canto, not happy for them pushing the delivery date, but I quess they didn't have a choice.

    Bought a Nivada Superantartic a couple of years back and recently rediscovered it in my collection. Kinda looks like that big branded one, some good stories around it ( the Antarctic explorers actually wore it, not carried it in their pockets in preference to their Smiths) and really robust. I also picked up a Longines Spirit GMT 39mm when I happened to be in St Imier on the day of the launch. My other GMTs ( including that soft drink package coloured ones) have now taken a back seat to it……

    Another well narrated and humorous video Andrew. I have to agree with the Longines Big Eye bit. I wasn't a fan when it was re-released but it's one of the best tool chronograph watches that you can still buy without making an oath that you can't not break to some dodgy dude in an odd hat. It's available if you look around enough and arguably one of the most readable at a glance in the steel version with the black dial. Needless to say I ended up getting one some years ago and definitely do not regret it. Many thanks for sharing.

    I have a friend who was kind enough to show me, midst my bragging about my Glycine Airman Chief, his Christopher Ward jump-hour. The hour indicator being at 6 o'clock was the most shocking thing... I have since looked for that watch, or another that does NOT have the jump hour jumping under the seconds hand, but to no avail.

    @vdbdg Před 11 měsíci +1

    I guess a Zenith Chronomaster T (full calendar chronograph) from late 90’s/early 2000’s would be the closest to a PP5970. It edges any competition with the high-beat of the respected El Primero Chronometer-adjusted caliber, which is actually very smooth to operate. The aperture calendar indications are easy to read. It wears comfortably at 40mm, has an interesting case not unlike PP’s classic ones and to this day, I challenge you to find any competition, not even in Zenith’s own catalogue. The black dial version in particular will have everyone look twice at your wrist because it looks the business and most importantly it isn’t some random microbrand wannabe vintage something that will vanish tomorrow while the market price makes it a bargain. Yes, it’s a bit old now but then again, so is the Patek 5970…

      Huh?... is there some weird watch specific use of the words "chime" and "strike" that I'm not aware of? A strike and a chime are to different things. You strike something (like a bell) to make it chime (make a sound). You can strike a bell once to make it chime, or multiple times to make it chime, doesn't matter.And unless you you have two different bells to strike, striking a single bell multiple times will still be monotone, or one note.
      Well shit, now I'm the one being pedantic... Sorry for the rant but that comment just made my brain hurt.
