Mark XI hommages

[tommi]

Hi!

It´s been a while since I have been browsing these pages. I was able to get rid of watch acquiring syndrome for few months when I bougt Seamester Pro. However the symptoms are returning I am thinking I might be able to get a second watch at summer.

I want a simple pilot´s watch. I remember that some member (Crusader perhaps) said he had written a compendium about Mark XI hommages. Is there any chance to get it? In general what good choices do I have? my price range is raher wide: anything between 0-1500 euro. I´m looking for the feel, not some fancy specs.

Thanks

Crusader's your man. great spreadsheet it is too. :)

Try PMing him. Or wait until he gets round to reading this thread, which he will. :wink:

I'd also be interestd in learning more about a Mark XI hommage. The Speedbird II is near the top of my list, but I'd love to get the squared-off hour hand of the original. No date window would also be ideal.

I'll watch this thread with much interest.

Here I am. :)

I have an Excel-Sheet of many Mark-11-hommages, so anyone want it, please send me an e-mail (no PM), and I'll send out the sheet.

One of the best dials is the 32mm one by Bill Yao (http://www.mkiiwatches.com/) which comes in both dateless and dated.

Also, use search on this Forum for "Mark MCXLVIII" to see pictures of my own project - sorry, I am in a hurry to leave for a medical appointment, and a trip to Sinn ( :D ).

I found it very helpful.

there is a really interesting Finnish pilot watch by Sarpaneva Uhren Fabrik (SUF) called Komentaja (Commander) which is available with an interesting tungsten/wolfram carbide PVD-coating. See http://www.suf.fi.

Terve Tommi. Mukava, että tällä foorumilla on muitakin suomalaisia mukana.

Terveisin, Regards,

Markku

Interesting looking watch. I wonder how much effect the coating has on hardness?

I sent out the data sheets around noon CEST today.

Apologies if the delay has caused consternation, bút I was away from the Computer yesterday due to a long meeting at Sinn on behalf of the WUS Sinn Forum, hence the delay. :)

It seems many seek this sheet. If you are interested I can place it permanently on my webserver and then you can just pass people the url.

Thanks for the offer, Pink ... it is no trouble, really, and I continually update the sheet if new information becomes available, so it is easier for me to mail the sheets out - as long as people send an e-mail and not a PM. :wink:
