Same sub-dial layout, but totally different functions

Do you have a watch with 3 sub-dials to share?

I love the JLC but my vintage eyes wouldn't get along with it, lol and the Bvlgari is just breathtaking!

Over the years I've been lucky to have a few 3 sub dial watches here are a sampling of a few

Those are both really nice. My favorite complication is a chronograph, so I have half a dozen chronos with 3 sub dials, and  a few with the 2 dial layout as well. I've never really been drawn to perpetual calendars in the same way.

You have a wonderful collection here!  I love the salmon dial Sinn the best.  I could tell that you are a Sinn fan.  I own a Sinn U50 too.  The first Tudor looks beautiful and classic!  Thanks for sharing!

Chronograph is a definitely a useful complication and fun to play with.  I also just noticed yesterday the similar in sub-dial designs between these very different watches.

"Vintage eyes" - I love it 😀

I've got a Sinn 144 and a Sinn 303. 

What is the reference # for that blue dial version - that looks awesome!!

Had to dig this out as my only 3 register watch. Time flies… I remember my wife buying this for me I want to say nearly 8 years ago. I knew nothing about watches at the time but walking thru the store I had eyed this in the case and had remarked how cool I thought it looked amongst the Timex watches. Literally first chronograph watch I’d ever seen. She’d sneak back several days later apparently to surprise me months down the road. Funny to think about now - clearly a Navitimer inspired design. Sad to have it sit in the drawer mostly these days but just can’t bring myself to get rid of it. Thanks @sfwatchlover for making me dig this up and bringing back the fond memories!

Thanks a lot for sharing this watch and the very nice story behind it. it is a good looking piece and a Navitimer inspired design as you mentioned.  I didn't know much about the brand Rotary and just searched on Google to get to know more about the brand.  It is very cool.

I also still keep a watch my wife bought me long time ago, before I got into the watch collecting hobby.  It is a beautiful Delma watch with quartz movement.  Last year, I saw a new old stock of the same model on Chrono24 and I bought it.  So, I have a pair of them now (please see photo here). The left one is the gift that I had worn for many years. The right one is still unworn.  

Thanks again for sharing and have a great weekend!(Image failed to load!)

Our wives would be so proud. 😂 Or sad that we've become hoarders. Hard to give up something with so many memories attached.

Great looking piece - both versions. I think I gravitate to the right one a bit more but the original has a more dressy feel to it. Delma has long history of watch making, so each is a treasure on its own - but nice to extend the story by finding the matching pair.

Thanks again for sharing and have a great weekend as well!

Agree on all you said :).  I didn't know much Delma during the years I was wearing it.  After becoming a watch nerd, I studied the brand and knew all about it.  I even wrote to Delma to find out the movement inside the watch - a quartz movement by ETA.   Take care! :)
