I fancy something hand-winding.
Prefer it to have at least a date complication.
Cannot find any decent reference threads to whet my appetite

My two hand winders my Prs 29b and 425 SLC. I like the interaction of hand winding and knowing that you have enough power reserve when you don’t wear it.
Only one here, recent arrival.
Have been looking at Smiths W10s and even a Vertex WWW. Prices though have left me behind for now.
Lee, your Smiths is lovely. Let me know if you feel like you need a change!
I probably have at least 10 of them. I do prefer them to automatics, all other considerations being equal.
Gordon Bennet! High bar set. Lovely watches.
I do like HW & I’ve just realised I still have a couple…
Classic speedy
…& less obvious Pinion Pure Pro Bronze

Oh yes they do......

I think all “hand wind” owners are also keen photographers as the quality of the images above are outstanding:)
Here’s one of mine.

Spoke too soon..
Remembered that I also have these two 33mm Smiths from the late sixties in a drawer. I inherited them so they'll always be with me. They haven't run for maybe 40 years so haven't been brave enough to wind them.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a vintage Smiths expert I'd appreciate it.
<edit> the Timor and the Hamilton above are lovely

Here you go...
Hirsch actually make the assolutamente strap for Panerai. Originally they sold an exact copy but following pressure from Panerai they ended up changing the design slightly.
Here’ are mine
IWC Cal 89
Speedy obviously!
Nomos Tangente 139
This hasn’t arrived yet, but the build has started, so it can’t be far off! :)

Some lovely watches on show here and I may have to add a gold hand wind (probably vintage) at some point.
I only have one hand wind, this Apollo 30th anniversary Speedmaster.
Cheers

So how about this? A Smiths 5 jewels, handwinding (except it don't cos it's lost its crown) day-date. Gold-plated and marked front and back Swiss Made. I bought it for pennies on Ebay yonks ago to get fixed up, but never did.
My old Renis(!) Chrono.
