Re: New Junghans 1972 Automatic FIS Edition
Why do whatch brands feel compelled to find the most niche or obscure sport to support and then make an even more niche watch?
I think the case shape and dual crown looks great, dial is ok but size and color combo killing it.
Oh, I have never been anywhere near a ski jump

There is an old, no longer used, ski jump at my local mountain. I like to think of myself as a fairly athletic person and into more “aggressive” sports, but I can honestly tell you I would never fling myself off one of those ramps.stonehead887 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 12:15 amWhy do whatch brands feel compelled to find the most niche or obscure sport to support and then make an even more niche watch?

I just checked and it is a 70 meter ramp built back in the 1930’s and used up until he early 1990’s. It has since fallen into disrepair. Looks sketchy as heck.
Here is an old photo I found online.

Changed it to 300m guys. Thanks so much for the heads up there !
Honestly really like the look of the watch, and the whole super compressor
feel. Guess the most surprising thing about it was the price. Which I didn't
know at the time of posting.
Seriously was thinking somewhere between $400, and $600 maybe.
Jeremy, and Chris, was thinking the same thing about the obscure, niche
thing with these being basically ski dive watches. I guess it's because skiing
is very big over in Germany, and around the world in general still. Or at least
I think it is.
Cannot thank you guys enough ever for just looking, and giving your thoughts
like this !!! ..It is just THE best !

This. The color combo kills it. Maybe a black or blue dial without the ski tie in?stonehead887 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 12:15 amWhy do whatch brands feel compelled to find the most niche or obscure sport to support and then make an even more niche watch?

and, in the end, it's nitpicking. the real issue with the watch is it's ugly.
i mean, it's not *gamechanging" ugly, but it's still unattractive.
