Yea, but my idea of classic has a black face and a broad arrow on it; meaning Govt. issue. I looked at the current prices once and nearly fainted; especially after paying two pounds for the trusty Sekonda and three for the failed, posher Omega...

I'm a little amused by this whole leica watch thing. It's not like the price is at the top of the pile but for that amount you're still in nice watch territory. The lower echelons/ used examples of brands like Rolex, JLC, and Zenith spring to mind (though it may be 10 years since I priced them up)..
One of the Rolex ladies watch movement calibres is (or a few years ago was) actually one of the most accurate mechanical wrist watches produced, statistically speaking and contradictory to the usual correlation between the size of the balance wheel and accuracy - seemingly a discovery by one of the chronometer testing places.. vs a leica watch, lol.
And the size of the leica watch.. seems a common trend nowadays.. but I don't have a problem with leica branching out into other industries.
Think I'll continue to knock about with a pretty grim looking Mido multifort, bumper automatic - small, or a ladies size as that suits my thin wrists.
