Super Retro and Funky 70s Superjet Automatic - AS 2066

I wear this watch everyday. I just love the angular design with the TV style dial and the chunky steel baton indexes and stubby steel hands. Retro watches won't get more retro that this. It is always the conversation piece when people ask me about this watch and they always adore the design and jealous because they cannot buy this watch on the high street. Its super cool, super funky and its Superjet!

Big and wonderful 70s Renis All Stainless Steel Automatic - AS 2066

Another uncommon model. We have here a Renis Automatic with a big solid stainless steel case. Very smart silver dial with dark blue chapter ring. A very elegant and yet sporty automatic watch from the 70s. Also it features a not very common 3 pieces case construction: A out case which connect the bracelet, an inner case and screw back contains the movement and a flanged acrylic crystal to seal the front.

Unusual and Rare Retro Tressa Automatic - AS 2066

I bought this watch almost 10 years ago and I consider the design of this watch is the maddest and yet beautiful in a somewhat kitsch way. Gold and black and silver colour from the steel case creates a combination not often seen. Although I must admit not everyone who have seen the watch shares the same enthusiasm... but I like it!

Funky, retro and futuristic Tressa Laser Beam Automatic - AS 2066

We have here a super funky watch by a relatively small watch company named Tressa. They were not the biggest but in my mind certainly the boldest and brave enough to put some eccentric designs into production.

Both retro and futuristic in todays eyes, the watch doesn't look out-dated and in my mind it is much more tasteful comparing to the new modern retro look-a-likes which somehow plasticky and souless. Have a look and judge it by yourself.

70s Tissot Seastar Automatic - AS 2066

The Tissot Seastar featured here isn't a commonly seen model. I acquired it about 7 years ago as a NOS. I have examined it in detail with caution because it has a non - Tissot - Omega - Lemania - movement. It has a AS ebauche movement. The dial feet are intact and fit well into the movement. The movement fits well into the case and the movement have case screws that matches the case screw indent on the edge. The conclusion is that it is an authentic Tissot with an AS ebauche movement.
