'Just added a Kienzle Atlantis to my watch collection.

It's a big un, too! (wow) 44mm across the case. It uses the Unitas 6497 handwound movement.

[yashooa]

Ok, that one I like (headbang)

Yes! (on a poor man's level (dunno) ) - Mostly mechanical (automatic or hand wound) I do have an Omega Speedmaster, Rado DiaStar, and the vintage (1970) Accutron Spaceview. But; most of the others are not too, too expensive)

Here are some photos...

God, I love the spaceview.

Have one myself, but it won't keep time and I don't have $100-$200 to send it to a specialist and get it calibrated.

Thanks! I know..... Mine runs about 2 minutes fast per day. Regulation will be a little over $70.00 from a good Accutron Specialist, I know of.

Sure! A familiar case design, for sure. Pacardt, Junkers, O&W, and others use the same basic case. The Unitas 6497 movement is a tried and true movement going back to the 50s. First used in pocket watches. It's Big!!!

It's fun sharing that. Next; and I know you all think I am crazy; I think I am buying a 1/32 scale slot car set-up. In my bonus room in the new house, I will have 14' 8" x 20' area to have a track.

 

[REMillers]

LOL that would kick ass.

Yeah!! That's Mario Andretti's (Vels Parnelli Jones) Viceroy 1974 Champ Dirt Sprinter. It won the championship that year. I have the vinyl Viceroy decals for it. 'Just have never put them on. It's a really big car. It's 1/12 scale.

Looks big, plus how the picture is taken causes it to full the space nicely giving the impression of it being scaled to its surrounding and thus seem real size.

Pure luck! That is all. It's the Olympus; not me!

Here is one of the 1:32 scale slot cars, I want to get when I get into this new venture...

Go figure! A Cobra!!!! Giddy Up!!!!!!
