Gorgeous and excellent condition 3-register Panda with Valjoux 72 movement. I’d compare this in design and collectibility to Heuer Autavias and Enicar Sherpa Graphs. It’s got a black dial, that’s not quite matte or shiny - and it pops against the spa...

It stands out from watches of its era, too. The hour indices are raised and angled, so they glint in the sunlight, and match the fine hour and minute hands that are machined with a slight…

What a watch, what a watch! It’s perfect vintage style, from the era where “sporty” watches like this one were breaking some of the stuffy rules of dress. That’s how we ended up with Porsche Carrera’s and panda dials. Just a few years before this one was made, Sean Connery anointed a sibling Top Time model into the house of Bond Cool. These Breitlings are still reasonably priced relative to the Carreras…

It’s a gorgeous design too. The hour indices feature appliques that glint in the…

Such a timeless watch! I adore it, but don't wear it. It was a grail for me when I got it, and - I bet many of you can relate - sometimes the grails feel too precious to wear. My loss, your gain.

If you need sales references, I have 3 recently completed sales on r/WatchExchange. I'm willing to get on a FaceTime with the watch if we agree to a price.

Condition: I'd say the condition is Very Good. The crystal and dial have no blemishes. The case has a ding on the crown-side, which you can...

What a Heuer! You’d be hard-pressed to find something more rich in heritage than this watch I believe to be from the 1940’s. Imagine what this little timepiece has seen in its life.

It’s compact, it feels so beautifully retro and current at the same time. The details are intoxicating: the way the central seconds bottom grazes the Heuer logo. The blue hands still glint in the light. The dial has an excellent creamy shine and slight sparkle, while the subdials catch light in a beautiful…
