Normally I'd be drooling all over that, what with the roman numerals and moonphase, but something about the missing 4 is bugging me. I can't put my finger on it.

One of my favorite peices in rotation. The watch is currently under repair due to a mechanical failure, which was mildly disappointing since its been less than two years since I bought it. Fortunatly its still under Sinn warrenty. The picture was taken under my girlfriend's bedside lamp using her 4 yr old Sony point and shoot.

Cant't get a decent photo of the dial without over-exposing the bezel. Tissot PR50 Automatic on a Hirsch Duke strap:

Bargain priced New Old Stock manual-wind Roamer 'Searock'. For a cheap 1970's watch it keeps remarkably good time:

I had an old auto Searock from the '70s - unfortunately looked like a poor man's Rolex. Ironically Roamer dates back to the 1880s from memory. Still, I had a lot of issues with the day/date mechanism on mine so I 'retired' it rather than continue to go broke getting it fixed.

I think the Chinese own Roamer now though they are still made in Switzerland.

I've had my eye on this watch for a long time, finally made the leap. Modified with a dark brown IWC deployment band.

Weirdest trait of the watch so far is the "wobbling" feeling it makes. I think this happens when it has been wound too much - the "circuit breaker" on an automatic watch. Any ideas?
