Default Lemania Branded Watches, a Picture Archive

I would like to encourage you all to post a single photo of each of your Lemania-branded watches. Please.

Ideally, nothing that bears anyone elses name, just Lemania. And one photo of each watch, if we can.

In this way the thread can serve to become a pictorial database of Lemania watches through the years.

A two-line description would help with each.

I'll start with the two I own/owned

Lemania 5100, this model was also offered in PVD and as a Heuer Audi-Sport



Also Lemania 5100, a blue-dialled version in what is better known as the Sinn 140/142 case



Dave

Definitely not Al, this is for Lemania-branded watches, not Lemania-powered ones.......

It hurts to see all these beautiful Lemanias! There is a ****-ugly one on eBay right now for much too much money, but I do like the gray dial. If only I could have a Lemania of my own...
