I personally like that large black sub-dial at 6'O. There's quite a bit of detail in this 38mm case that leaves you with a lot to look at, despite the less than optimal handset. In fact the more you look the more charm it seems to get - a solid design within a solid stainless steel case.

This watch grows on you, I must say. While I typically don't like the way rectangular cases look on my small wrists (it's like they cut my wrist off), the circular dial on this watch makes its large case makes it quite the accommodating wrist piece.

The Seiko 701X series of watches are a great value if you're looking for an off-tangent watch complication outside of the typical chronograph without breaking the bank. The 7017 is a three-handed flyback, and its applications have been put onto many different scales, but none so queer as this one, making it a literal Sports Timer.

One of the most amazing things as vintage watch owner gets to experience is the intricate details of the watch. While I try to bring out the subtle nuances of the timepieces in my photos, it's nothing like having the real thing in front of your face. Not only are you privy to the tiniest details on the watch, you're given a the opportunity to imagine what the lovely sample would look like when it was brand new.

The black and white color combo never gets old, especially when it comes in the form of this classy number. The Tissot Navigator presents the humble chronograph in a quirky way, its oddly placed registers making for a nice conversation starter.
