:Hello Chuck

Wow, your PWI 1873 looks very nice and I think you have a special grey version. I saw only 2 of them at the last 10 - 12 years.Also are the blue dials most rarer then the blacks. Take care of this real rare watch. Thanks for sharing pics.

Here are my PWI`s

a Orfina Porsche Design 1873 and a PWI 1873

I bought both watches(1873)with a steel / glass (1873 )caseback. I had never seen bevor a steel caseback ? Great to see.

Hey René! We're happy to
: have you and a place to discuss these types
: of watches. Hopefully our chosen topic
: sphere is neither too broad nor too narrow!

Thank you! My first choice are Orfinas and this style of watches, also I like vintae Heuer and vintage Omega. I like watches with the Lemania 5100 Movement.
For example: only the Lemania 5100 powered watches we can discuss a long time.

It's a far sight better than my
: french. The only thing I can probably do in
: French is cause diplomatic incidents and use
: certain racing terms: Chicane, Pelaton, etc.

Thanks again, but I live in the german part of switzerland. A long time ago I had learned french at the school. My bad english is much better :-)

I have
: seen a couple of 5100 PWI's but I haven't
: bid on any. Perhaps I shoudl consider doing
: so.
As far as I know PWI was produced for the south american market. In Europe is it difficult to find one.

: But I'd sure love to get an original bracelet
: for her. Expecially one long enough for my
: wrist!

My PWI s have different bracelets - I`m not sure but I think they are original.One Clasp has the PWI Logo an one the Pd logo.

Cheers
René
