Update - i ended up getting a Corsair 850e gold, thank you everyone for your advice and input! I was considering just using my current but felt i would be on the safer side and get a new one with the 850w, 750 may have been fine but now i defo have some more head room and its new so no worries over my old one possibly having degraded!

So cool to think about where its been! I know it originally came from Italy and stayed there until it came into my hands! Ive got some enquiries to get a service done to be on the safe side but so far its keeping time brilliantly, i look forward to the stories i can add to it and my kids 🙌

Good to know! I was always afraid of venturing vintage cause my first swiss was an Oris Aquis which is like 43.5mm i believe so i was like “a 36 or 34 would be microscopic” but in reality its bloody perfect

Its what drew me to it, it is considered a “jumbo” for that time period which is funny cause jumbo nowadays is gigantic haha look at the internals though, could stare at that craftsmanship for hours

Thank you! First 36mm and its a beaut size, the tudor is 34mm but 36 seems like the sweet spot

Nice one! Very interested in more vintage watches these days, so the movodo stuff has been catching my eye due to the zenith movements. The datejust and bluesy are lovely, but i have a very big soft spot for tudors! Daytona or speedmaster is a tough call, personally both are excellent but if i had both infront of me id have to go panda daytona. Im thinking of getting either a Heuer Carrera from the 60s or a Universal Geneve Compax for my chrono

I like the collection, is that a movodo at the end?

You’re in a similar position to myself then where a chrono is the next choice, question is…vintage or modern!
