My new arrivals

[andy tims]

Took delivery of this lot this week (have sold 2 recently, so not toooo mad on the net outgoings front)

Anonimo Cronoscopio obtained via TZ-UK


This watch is 3 years old, but had never been worn. They are designed & made by the Panerai people in Florence after Panerai relocated. The quality of this is very good - possibly better than a Pan & much rarer.

Next, also via TZ-UK a much sought after Damasko DC56

This was BNIB & unless you've had, or handled a Damasko, the quality of manufacture is just hard to believe, given the price.

Last but not least, a Fortis Marinemaster. I love Fortis watches. This is my third & they are all keepers.


This one is pre-worn, but you'd hardly know it. Obtained from the USA via WUS forum.

Well chuffed at the moment.

I really like the Damasko and was looking at that exact one the other night . . With an IWC Flieger Chrono on order though they'd be pretty similar together.

Perhaps one of the non-chronos for me to add . .

The DC56 is a stunning watch, amazing quailty, when tried one on recently it went high on my list of future watches.

The Fortis is great too, really like fortis as a brand they do fantastic watches.

;D

Really love that Damasko, fantastic looking watch.

A few questions if I may to Andy Tims and anybody else knowledgeable on this forum?

How does the Damasko for example compare in build quality, movement and brand name/heritage compared to a Sinn, Steinhart, Stowa and Debaufre watch?

Are Steinhart and Debaufre the same company?
Both of these companies Nav-B B-Uhr watches appear to be exactly the same in looks specification (size possibly different) and price?

Incidentally the Steinhart and Debaufre Nav-B B-Uhr watches also look exactly the same as the Stowa Airman Original, especially given that all have no makers name on the face/dial but prices of these watches vary considerably.

I guess it must come down to craftsmanship/movement but all very confusing when just idly internet browsing.

Thanks and apologies for the noddy questions.

I think I will have to track down the OP and have some stern words for introducing me to this:-




Thats close to my watch utopia (with a better band)
