Cool! What'e the skeletonized piece? I don't recall seeing that one. It's a Rotary Roger. My mum & dad got it me for my 18th :-) still got the original strap on it, mainly stays in the box but it's a keeper. |

Very nice. What is the one next to the vintage Omega? Love your TAG, and your Speedy, of course. Another very eclectic grouping: G-shock, Swatch, Seiko, and the big guns, TH, Omega, and Rolex. Very cool. You wear that Swatch so much, I didn't realize you had all of those other pieces....  Kat

Yet another wonderful diverse collection! We all have it seems a similar approach to our hobby!
I have such a soft spot for Rotary wristwatches being British. They always represented great quality and a great price for a Swiss made watch. I know they don't make them in Switzerland any more but they still use really great quality movements from Japan and are so nicely finished.
What is the chrono with blue registers, I love the look of that one, well, all of them! Congratulations on great taste.

Hi Kat, that's not my G-shock that lives in work :-) That big black thing is my Suunto Vector, it's for when I'm out walking up the mountains. It's got a compass & thermometer etc on it. Think Chip also has a Suunto, they mainly make pieces for outdoor activities. You'll love this, they class them as wrist computers in the instruction book :-) I knew you'd like to know more Kat :-) so sorry it's a long answer :-) The swatch is great for when I'm doing my exercises, it's 1 you don't mind knocking about a bit. Ian that's a Cauny from the early seventies, I understand it's a Spanish brand with a Swiss movement. It's a manual wind mech which runs very well, I bought it 5yrs ago. Just loved the style as it's similar looking to a Tag Monaco but for a lot less money :-) I don't believe the band is still going, but you do do the odd 1 on eBay Attachments:

Cauny, thank you! that is a brand that keeps floating across my life and I always like the watches I see by them. i had no idea they were Spanish which is probably why it lodges in my brain. Probably as a child on holiday there I would have looked at watches in jewellers windows and seen them and thats why its stuck fast!
