very nice watch, i´ve always had somewhat of a dislike for titanium watches, i guess that i have the weight related stereotype stuck in my head,

but it is really nice,



I used to think like you, but always loved the look of titanium. But i found the Fortis to be heavier than most steel watches I've worn - and the steel ones are even heavier! Mine has a nice weight.

Nice Fortis, Leo. I love their hands - so clean and legible! And the non-chrono models have such nice dials...

A Rado Purple Horse Automatic Day-Date from the 1970's.

Going to be used as a casual wearer.
Btw. the red and gold Rado anchor on the dial rotates freely, imo a cool detail.

Very nice, I own a Rado and it is a fantastic watch (very hard if not imposible to scratch).

Nice Rado. That's one of the few Rados other than the one I own that I've liked the look of.

Did you get the sapphire crystal display? I kind of regret sticking with acrylic, but then again polywatch is my friend.

It's a beauty though isn't it? I waited for years to find the perfect chrono for me, and I sure found it.

I see your 356, and raise you a 356 UTC:

I'll put up my meager collection here.

This is my daily wearer for ~8 years now. The band clearly says "W. Germany" on it, so it's been around the block many times, and still works like a charm. Honestly, I could just have this watch and be perfectly content.

Of course that last watch prompted a bit of a Swiss Army love...

And this was an anniversary present from my now-fiance. She got an engagement ring, I got a watch. I think it's a pretty decent trade!
