I love the OQ, too, Thani!

Did you notice the case style of that "Scientific" you posted after this post of yours? Almost the same case style as the much, much later OQ!

Is that Pan Air, is impossible to find too? Anyone here have pic of Pan-Air inreal shot? Not like in Vintage Rolex Sport Models, look so unreal to me. What about Space-Dweller, Rited Time model, and many many more...

Padi56 mentioned the SPACE-DWELLER. Here is a pic of it from another thread:

(Pic by "Somdej").

And here are two more (from my Photobucket):

Quite a common cushion case shape back in the 1940s used by many many of the Swiss watchmakes at that time.

MAXI DIAL · 18 March 2008, 12:12 AM

Wow!!! didn't know there were so many.... Thanks you guys.
Do you think one of these watches will be reintroduced this year??

Personally I want the COMMANDO

True, Peter! Still interesting that Rolex re-introduced this case style in 1970 with the Rolex Quartz Date (ref. 5100) at the Basel Fair on June 5th.

What about this? I would love to see a GMT IIc with the white dial. courtesy of Stephane Medam. Here's a link to his site. He has an awesome collection posted on line. http://www.worldlywatches.com

mfer · 18 March 2008, 03:32 AM

Looooove the white face. I wish they would do the sub with it as well as the GMT.

mikey · 18 March 2008, 04:30 AM

Seriously, sometimes certain models are better forgotten. Would anyone truly want a "TruBeat" an automatic with a quartz type movement? Especially in todays market? I would rather have a GMT IIC or new Milgaus with lightning bolt hand. I like the vintage GMT with that bakelite bezel.

Well Mikey in its day the Truebeat served its purpose what it was designed for doctors to check pulse in one second beat increments. And the lightning bolt hands again date back to the vintage Milgauss so nothing new there.
