Herbelin Antichoc Owner Review : Retro, exotic and cool

This watch, acquired about twenty years ago (50 bucks), from a second-hand dealer friend, I had fallen for its dial and its hands with a fantastic patina… Nothing to envy a Sub 5513 with tritium for the patina… In 36, flat and organic domed glass, flat case and tonneau format… very fashionable at the time…. It works extremely well, one service in 50 years… It dates from the early 70s, let’s say 73, that suits me… I told myself that this Michel Herbelin sports watch was much prettier than their production of the last 30-40 years…. It reminds me of those Sunday sports watches, because it’s not waterproof… more like Saucifald and Gitanes Filtres… It has the charm of watches from another era, like San Antonio, SAS, OSS117 or Diabolik…. I recently waited for a real motivation from the Herbelin brand to get back "in the game"... They are targeting the Asian market... with the know-how🇫🇷... it could become the next "hype"... Mine might see its rating explode
