Thanks for the compliments guys! I took these out to rotate this weekend.
The thread was to see if anybody plays backgammon (Tavli in Greek) here
The bottom right watch is a Movado (Zenith) El Primero here is a better picture of it. It 1 of my favorite watches thats a non Rolex

Very nice, great looking dial.

Is that one of the very first auto wind chronographs that they came out with?

Nice Movado? does it have the same guts as the Zenith ?

i love the little date aperature where the inner number is slightly smaller that the outer digit.

I think it was the 1st automatic chronograph and way ahead of its time.
It is the same as the Zenith version made same ref# etc.
They only made a very limited few of them see below

I love the look of that Movado, it reminds of a high-bred of a Daytona and a Flightmaster.

Nikos that dial and bezel on that Movado has got to be on of the busiest I have ever seen...almost makes a Navitimer look boring. Great pic of the daily rotation.

I love it and wear it often these days.Its a keeper for me like the PCG and the 16750 I bought new as a teenager. My 1655 doesnt get as much wrist time. It took Rolex until the mid 80's to put an automatic in the Daytona and it was the same base movement as in this 1972 Movado.

Lovely collection ! I have played Backgammon for 50 years ,( boy, am I tired ) and my idea of heaven , is to vacation in Greece or Turkey and play backgammon for hours with the locals. I am a World-Class player and can win as many as 3 or 4 cups of coffee or tea ....a day ! I like your board too , but please buy some decent precision dice to play with. Your 1675 is really nice.
