Wristwatch collectors out there?

[Wolfgang]

Im looking for a watch that has second minute and hour disks that spin with the time showing the time with a line in the glass.

Like this Only without the digital part and classier.

What would this style be called?

That would be either a skeleton or tourbillion type watch. Search for both items and see what comes up. Most likely what you are looking for is a chronograph skeleton watch.

However, if all it shows is the time then it only takes a second to shake it a few times and get it going then set the time. Same if its a time/date...

Not to mention any decent automatic has a reserve, which should last about 40hrs or more.

Thrak is right on here. You don't really NEED one. To me they are a luxury, which I can do without especially given the cost of a decent one, I can have another watch (or two).

I dontthink he's looking for a skeleton/openheart.

I believe he's looking (from what i gather with hsi description) for a multi plane (rotating) dial. Read his original post. I believe he's looking for something very unique and I've see it before. Oh hell, now i'm gonna spend hours searching...

Spinning chrono disks are on very few watches. And those watches are extremely expensive.

The cheapest one I can find is the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre Mens Watch.

I believe Concord makes one as well.
