Braun watch reissue  

Yikes!
Mark, you generally display high-end taste, but that model just screams class of '75 graduation gift!

yep!
It was my high school grad gift from my parents (1980)!

Ah... it's sentimental.
In that case, you're excused!

These Braun Reissue
watches are made in, guess where, in China of course. Any experts out there that can substantiate or refute this?

Vintage watches
I'm a bit suspicious about the source of these Braun watches.
Braun doesn't seem to be aware of it's own historic catalogue, I would assume the initiative came from Zeon producing company (thumbs up for them) and Braun is just running along.
I myself am a bit of a vintage collector (within reason), I currently own 7 watches or so.
This fifties AERO for instance.

Very elegant, bj.
Nice watch.

only the big three
bj,
I only have the big three Audemars Piquet, Vacheron Constantine, and Patek Phillipe in my collection. For every day wear I use the Rolex "Steve McQueen" Explorer II.

I've had...
... this one since around the early 90's. Notice the "Made in Germany" on the front dial at the 6 o'clock position. The New Braun Reissue watches do not show anything on the front dial, and guaranteed that they will not show anything on the back either!
And for around 200 British Pounds, that's a big price to pay for a Chinese copy.

For future reference, Niceguy...
Audemars Piguet is spelled with a "g", not a "q".
Vacheron Constantin has no final "e".
Patek Philippe has only one "l", but has two "p"'s before the final "e".

No more Mr. Niceguy
I only have the big three 1970 Ferrari Dino, 1964 Maserati 3500 GTi, 1956 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing in my collection. For everyday use, I use a 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo
At least I know how to spell the cars that I allegedly own.

Maybe Niceguys are chinese...
Maybe Niceguys are chinese knock-offs 😀
When it comes to brands I must admit I like vintage Tissot's.
I have several, they are very well made timepieces, offer great style at a modest price.
The mousegrey dialed one is a recent purchase, I always loved their fifties logo...
The black Autolub is something special, the movement consists for the greatest part out of plastic mechanics, so it needs no lubrication (hence the name autolub). It's the ancestor of the modern swatch.
The Two-timer is a transitional watch too, and offers analogue and digital time watching. Although very eighties and in two-tone I like this watch very much, its a very slim and sophisticated design.

bj, the decisions almost always end with
the position of the hands when displaying or photographing timepieces with traditional radial dials. It seems the consensus is often a choice between ten past ten or twenty past eight so as not to obscure any markings and to present a balanced appearance. The smiley face usually wins.
Neat collection and pretty good pics. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the spelling correction
Moving and typing fast is the only reason for the errors. It is nice to have so many editors at my call.
I do not have to attempt to impress people I know and never those I do not know or repsect.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Don't mention it, Niceguy. I'm always happy to help those who require assistance.
