That's the reason I am keeping mine:


The Doppelchronograph is a classic! Its so much cleaner in terms of the dial. IMHO its far better looking than its replacements have been. In addition, the original style bracelet is far nicer looking than the later bracelets. It's a beauty, enjoy it!

Nice Bell & Ross, I like the case shape. This model actually reminds me of some watches from Tutima.

It's a Sinn 142 ST, a pretty old and classic Sinn model - "first automatic chronograph in space". B&R used to simply brand existing Sinn models when they started. Progressively they started to get some exclusive models made, and eventually only have their own designs now.

So what about the VC Quai de L'ile? I like the sapphire backing but wish it was available with Roman numerals... Also, they should have figured out how to have the non-active numbers for dates be a bit more faded out... But overall an intriguing design.

I honestly don't know. The most meaningful ones have been posted in this thread in the last 5 years. Haven't sold any of the ones here - gave one to a friend but otherwise, that's most of my collection.
