Good morning my fellow formers
I like the mortima something a bit different I always fancy a chrono sorna with the Pepsi bezel
But today is the Monaco day for me

That's a beautiful & iconic watch which is in a league of its own.

@Iceblue its a Sportsline swiss 17 jewel and thats all i know other than i like it a lot
i did a little review a while back:
o the watches job lot arrived this morning and apart from the crap packing where all the watches were bundled unprotected in a plastic bag, i am delighted
just a quick sift through and i was right...there was a Citizen 8600....this is the one with the flashing LED at 12, very rare, i took off the battery hatch fearing the worst and there was no battery and it was spotless inside, popped a battery in and its running perfectly, it would easily pass for NOS cheers
the one i though may be a Sicura........isnt ! its a "Sportline" ?? super quality, lemania movement and running strongly at the risk of ridicule.its omega standard.
there are so many gems i dont know where to start, seiko, citizens, quartz mechanical Swiss russian etc
there is even a solid silver trench watch and its running too Shocked
here's the Sportline.this really interests me, it needs a major clean, its disgusting and obviously needs a pusher, luckily the crystal although scratched is in
LOOK AT THE DNA
its now sorted and serviced, but no other info available anywhere
