Just a quick reminder the Chinese chronograph bought the rights & blueprints from Venus(Swiss) allowing them to produce the Venus 175 . Old tech. still beautiful!
I'm excited about this video Bill, I seem to have taken your advise before you gave it to me. This video fits right in with the progression of my early watch collecting years. I have a Seagull 1963, 38mm. I have a Muhle Glashutte SAR with the "woodpecker neck regulator". I also have a Dornbluth & Sohn 99.1 with a highly modified Unitas 6498. My past self thanks you for this video. Best regards, Brian
Many thanks, Bill. I DID purchase the Petit Seconde ,following one of your astonishing previous episodes. It was 400 dollars at Jomashop .I enjoy it so much . Many thanks Nizar
These are nice, I agree on that Tissot Heritage. That’s a solid choice. By the way do you happen to recall when it was that ETA acquired Unitas? I assume it was during the quartz crisis winnowing, but I haven’t been able to find out exactly when it was.
As always Bill, you have some interesting choices here.If I were that chronograph kind of guy, the 63 is both interesting, and certainly cheap enough to take a chance with,
This fella named HK Ed also makes some interesting versions of the 1963. Bigger dials, sapphire crystals, and different colors. Might be worth checking out.

Yes, John! Good point. Take care, Bill
Finally affordable offerings
I really like the Tissot, I owned multiple Seagull 1963 always could adjust it and they run really well. Thanks Bill for the video 👍🏽

Hi Bill, The Tissot Heritage Petite Seconde har been sold out for a long time on Jomashop, Take Care
Thanks for the info Mogens. There seem to be plenty around on the secondary market, though. Take care, Bill
The GMT is set at 3.10pm not 7.40 just thought I'd say, great video though thanks.
Wheres you find this preowned price on the Muhle? Maybe a great place, as couldnt find under 1K. Was looking at rescue timer, this one sweet
Hi Derya...just did a Google Search and it popped up. Take care, Bill

Hello Bill. What a terrific set of watches. I particularly liked the GMT but any would be good watch to start with.
