Fat numbers! Made in GDR- that ceased to exist in 1989. That must be a rare watch

With all due respect, Jocke.....that is one ugly watch. The hands and Arabics are way toooooooo fat, and the lengths of the hands are confusing when you want to read the time real quick.

Even that "bark" finished case looks ugly and cockeyed!!

Much as I hate to be controversial, I will have to agree with J.J. You always take such excellent pictures and have such excellent tastes in watches, but, this one makes me want to

I would never beat you up, my friend. You and I both have the Platty which we both love and cherish. I think I was perhaps being way too honest with that watch above!!

No problems my friend, I will always respect others opinions. We canīt like
the same things.

I donīt like sheeps and I hope you not take that personal.

It is a unique look and I like it. I have a feeling it looks better in person too.

JJ does not mince words. I think it is a rather harsh watch...though interesting.
That's wht there are so many watches...something for everyone, every taste, every mood. Enjoy it!

You got that right, Lisa.....something Zemina has always had a problem with....even after 37 years of marriage.

"Why can't you be more diplomatic, JJ?" are words she must have said to me like a million times!!
