Great catches there Bucko. I really like that Bernus 'Tank'.
Does it have DOW module??

That Hughes Asymmetric looks familiar.... the same as Old Tom's?

Cheers pal!
I cannot remember if the Benrus has the DOW module or not I think it has but I will have to have a check when I get back home and let you know. The watch is actually not that big, I was expecting it to be a bit more substantial than what it is, I would describe it is a 'mid-size' watch, the 'tank' referring more to the shape than the actual size.
The Hughes is at least the same design as 'Old Toms' but I'm not sure if it's identical, I sent 'Old Tom' a PM and asked him to have a look at mine as I was curious about that myself but as of yet he has not got back in touch with me.

Those are... 8-), does the crystal on the Benrus have a step in it to match the shape of the case.

It does look that way but the crystal is flat and level with the outer edges with a step in the middle section, I uploaded two more photo's which show this better when viewed full size.

I like that clear Synchronar Bucko. Is it a MkIII or IV, with the black bottom ? I wonder if clear sliders were ever produced.......that'd look cool.
I've gotta get myself one of these clear cases one day !

Cheers mate!
It's a Mark IV with a clear bottom, I think the red sliders make it looks slightly odd and clear sliders would of looked much better IMO, I have never seen any clear sliders but I bet they could be made easily enough.

Does it have DOW module??


Just checked and yes it does, the display is slightly odd with the DOW shown as M, TU, W, TH, F, SA, SU.
