Pitzmann II
Ever since I picked up my Pitzmann III chronograph, I've been wearing my Pitzmann II 3 hander no date more often as well. I've started to appreciate this watch all over again: automatic movement with 60hr PR great design, dial color, 40mm case with otherwise slim proportions, full lume and 150m WR. There have been a few reviews that have called this a bargain budget alternative to the Omega Aquaterra, many Grand Seikos and even a Rolex OP.
Regardless of comparisons, it is a great GADA I can watch in all situations and not be afraid of knocking it around and dinging it up. 👍🏻

I like that green.
Love this watch.
Cute😍
I can't find any substantial information on this brand. Do they just do design or do they assemble? They have been around for a few years but other than that ...
Any info appreciated.
The green dial is 🔥 Ed.
I took delivery of the First Pitzmann last Saturday. I really like the thermal blued hands, enamel dial and bracelet.
@TalkingDugong will certainly agree.

Seconded! Thirded! Err, what are we talking about? 😛

Designed and assembled in Seoul. I imagine case and bracelet were made in China (while the stigma 'Made in China' exists, they made high grade stuff too.) with movements from Switzerland and regulated (oh boy do Pitzmann watchmakers regulate the movement. If I don't know better I'd think these are COSC certified, that's how accurate and consistant they are), which explains the price.
I own that same green Pitzmann II and it's been fantastic from the moment it was on the wrist. It's seriously impressive. If I had been into chronographs, I'd not hesitate about the 3. Since I'm not really, my hesitation about it is purely for that reason. I'm sure I'd enjoy it based on my II, it just is a very significant jump for someone who never truly has been into chronographs. It's funny that it took the 3 to deeper appreciate the II, but you're not wrong about it regardless.
I really appreciate seeing these to next to each other. I think even Peter Kotsa mentioned the 3 is built on the II's platform, but I now doubt that is wholly accurate and you'll be able to confirm. To me the lugs on the 3 look slimmer and less (if at all) flared out. Are there more notable differences about the case?
Is this blue or white
Ooh, is that a 2892-2 / SW300?
