W/NW Let's see some wristwatches! (II)

My classic PloProf 1200 from the 70s. I did a lot of underwater photography for years and this was the watch I used. It went all over the world with me. You can see the faded dial, hands and there are a few nicks on the bezel. I sold it recently to a Swiss collector, but I do miss it. It was large, heavy and had an unmistakable profile. I always considered it one of the biggest watches of the 1970s but by today's standard, just normal size.

That is just the coolest thing ever. thanks for sharing!

It sure is fun and also extremely practical in daily life (well, display back won't do anything practical but hey).


Here is my IWC Mark XII that I just got back from my watchmaker. The Jaeger-LeCoultre provided movement has been fully overhauled, but the case, dial, and hands are untouched.

A Chinese DongFeng (east wind) brand watch with an in-house ST5 movement made since 1966.

And a Seagull brand for export with the same ST5 movement.

Guinand Flying Officer from the 1960s. I've posted my homage/reissue Flying Officer from 2007 before, but this one is the original made by Gallet, ticking modified Valjoux 7723.
