Oh, very cool! Thanks!

Also: On Rolex GMT-Master IIs (both modern and vintage), the 24 hour hand is independent from the hour hand, so that you can track 3 timezones at once. 1st: the hour hand. 2nd: the 24hour hand against the dial. 3rd: the 24 hour hand against the bezel. On this vintage GMT-Master (note, no II), the 24 hour hand is not independent from the hour hand. So it really only tracks day/night. But with the rotating bezel, you can keep track of the second timezone.

Just a couple of wrist shots I snapped up on my Iphone.

JLC Duo IWC ceramic Flieger

Yeah well.... It's not really anything. It's a tourbillon allright. But not any brand. It's an OEM product bought directly from the factory. That's why there are are no markings anywhere. It's an inhouse chinese movement though. But it would diffidently qualify as a poor mans tourbillon You can see the movement here:

Old garde GST Chrono in steel

I'm a total watch neewbie, and would love a vintage gold watch to join with a brown leather strap. Have very little money to spend - like $200 - is it even worth looking at ebay, etc, or will anything I find be useless?

This doesn't cover even the cost of the raw metal.

You can probably pick up a plated watch for that -but you'll probably put 2-300 into shortly.

is that an Oyster-Quartz? It is stunning!
