Glycine Incursore Black Jack Small Seconds: Great Looking Watch, Missed The Cards Playing Reference
I can always count on Glycine to present respectable looking watches. With a long history of pilot's watches, and some great diving watches (the Lagunare line), there is always an inherent "active" look to their watches. On top of that, Glycine is good about releasing new watches with regularity and this Basel World is no different. My choice from their new selection is the Glycine Incursore Black Jack Small Seconds.The Incursore line of watches all share similar faces and numbering. With a look a lot like Panerai, Glycine is not presenting a copy but its own interpretation of the theme. Glycine is a Swiss watch maker, not Italian like Panerai, but the name "Incursore" is Italian and comes from the military "Frogmen" that engaged frequently during World War II. Panerai watches were originally designed for the same purposes. That being high legibility in dark and wet conditions while being stealthy and solid. That is the purpose behind the large, well-spaced numerals and hour indicators

Gotta love that International Dial !
....So , as some of you may remember, several months ago, I got my Gruen Curvex back, only to find they had put Guyren Veri-Thin on the dial .....arrgghhh....so I took it to Jerry about 2 weeks ago .....and he called yesterday and said it was back ! ....maybe setting a new record who now ? anyway ....here's the results.....I think it's from about 1942 or so ? ....any help in identifying it would be greatly appreciated, as the Gruen data base is sketchy at best ......so, whatcha think eh ? and then a close up of the dial....and then .......of course ...the movement ......The oly real problem withy the case is this small crunchy on this back corner ....of course it has some small scratches , but you need a loupe to see them ...and the crystal is good too, ....now I have heard that this tonneau style is.....dare I say it ? rare....most of the 440s are in straight sided cases.......any one agree/disagree with that ?

5905
Well. I wondered how long it would take, now I'm lucky enough to be in the patek club - until I started to look outside the Nautilus rangeI've worked thru a fair few rolex and omega in my day, always being incredibly happy with each, but always an eye on the horizon. I had a 15202 6 months now and am still disinterested in the other ap references, I'm just so smittenBut with patek - the Nautilus 5711 is where I landed. I've looked around the 5990 and the 5712... Both are amazing.... But as of the last few days I've been looking at the others and do rather fancy a 5905..... Also I see the 5170 appeals to my eye!!! Its a serious watch in every way... But that brings a serious decision and a heck of a commitment financially, so I'd like to understand its place in the market and the user experience more if possible!?How is its reputation?Resale / residual value?Have we got any owners here to share views or pictures?Kind thanks
