Manual Wind Engine-turned
Here are two of my manual wind watches. The top is a 34mm 6427. I believe the lower is a 6425, it is 36mm.
I'm posting particularly for GunslingerPK.

Wow, the Oyster Royal is beautiful!
I thought these were 34mm Oysters?? Or am I confusing them with the Oysterdate? Sent from my cracked, broken hand wound phone. IG @morning_tundra |

Nice. Those watches have a lot of wrist presence for their size even if I generally prefer the 36mm Oysters (I'm wearing the 1018 you sold me today, moto, thanks pal) and I think the engine-turned bezel makes up for the lack of cyclops. If you have normal sized wrists and wear long sleeves, the 34mm Oysters look appropriate (I am over 6'2" and 200lbs) and the 2018 OP34s wear even bigger.
Nobody notices the small ones, either. Nice if you like to be under the radar a bit, you don't wear your DD every day after all |

I'm telling you, the one with the blue dial is 36mm. Not sure why no one believes me. They look similar, but one is larger. It's on a 20mm German-made strap.

I would love to get a vintage manual wind in the future. I just love winding watches.
You have beautiful pieces man. How often are they serviced and any concern with wearing out the gears from daily winding? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There was question about wear and tear from daily winding: I have the sickness resulting in multiple watches, so I don't worry about daily winding. The mechanisms are fairly robust and unless you are super-careless, you won't cross-thread the crowns.

Mineral thank you, very desirable watches you have and all in this post are phenomenal watches!!
I am not sure what all the flutter is about with 5513 and other sports LOL.... Me like few of others in this post got attracted with Oyster pertpetual (1018, 6298/6098) and mechanical windups. But did get into DJ, DD...GMTs are as far as I strayed in Rolex but that is as far I strayed... now I hoping someday 6424 or 6024, cheers. |
