    Have you thought about a Tudor 76214 or 94510?

    You’re reading my mind! I’ve actually been looking for a couple of months at the earlier Oyster Prince Date + Day 7000 series references for their Rolex signature on case, crown and buckle.

    Here’s one with a French day wheel. If anybody has advice on or experience with these I’d like to hear about it.

    In the annals of Soviet watchmaking, a singular timepiece stands out: the Wostok 2809 “Precision Class”.

    During a somber mid-winter afternoon in the late fifties, Boris and Natacha embarked on a journey from the Russian Federation Embassy to the Zenith boutique on Spitalgasse. Their mission? To acquire two Zenith 135 watches—the pinnacle of Swiss chronometry at the time.

    Both Zenith 135 watches eventually found their way to the Vostok factory in Kamaz, Tartastan. One was preserved as a reference, while the other underwent meticulous dissection to unveil its inner workings.

    Vostok engineers made subtle modifications, including introducing a central minute hand and enhancing the jewel count. The result was the remarkable Wostok 2809, a movement that owed its lineage to the Swiss Zenith 135.

    While the story of the 2809 has been recounted across various sources, one alternative narrative challenges the notion of Cold War espionage. According to this perspective, the Soviets drew inspiration from the Zenith Chronometer 135 rather than outright copying it. They enhanced the movement by adding extra jewels, repositioning the second hand to the central pinion, and enlarging the balance wheel—a recipe for improved accuracy.

    The custom strap from Bracelets de Paris complements the 2809 beautifully!

    @soulsea. Love the face on that ROO. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen that color. Amazing, very sharp.

    “Welcome back” to my humble, trusty, owned-since-new 1969 Seiko 6105-8000 after nearly six months away for service. It’s wearing its new stingray strap, which unfortunately could not be mounted with the quick release spring bars I specified as their diameter was too small to fit securely into the lugs’ recesses. What isn’t shown is the Seiko signed deployant buckle which, in my opinion, is far better designed and engineered than on more “valuable” watches I’ve owned.
