to mark the 65th “birthday” of “Astérix”, created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, something new is coming out of France: the Chronofixe × Seconde/ Seconde/ Astérix, limited to 500 pieces.

New watch: Chronofixe × Seconde/ Seconde/ Astérix

Since I haven’t seen a thread dedicated to small second subdialed pieces, I figured why not start a picture thread specifically for said timepieces.

The post criteria is this: Your piece should have a single small second subdial (not multiple subs), so, basically a three hander. It can be an automatic/mechanical or quartz, new or vintage, low end to high end, a little beat up or in pristine condition. The only other criteria is that you have to own it, or had owned the piece in your post…

Thank you for rekindling the watch bug in me. Also known as the WIS Madness (Watch Idiot Savant) I went nuts with watches for about 15 years, from 2005 to 2020 then my interest waned. I was constantly buying used watches here and other places and as soon as the bloom was off the rose I’d sell it and then buy another one. I was always convinced the next watch was going to be the ONE that was going to scratch that itch! I had alot of fun and I’m glad to finally feel like I’m back in the game…

Thanks Watchuseek and members

On a different forum, outside of WUS, someone asked me about a current conflict that I’m familiar with. But they admitted to being ignorant about. Not going to get into politics. But after I answered his question, it occurred to me that very few of my watches would be suitable for going off to war. Honestly only my Citizen Eco-Drive BM7080-03E I bought nearly 25 years ago would be suitable.

So, if you had to go off to war, or chose to because the cause was Just; which watches from your…
