    All right, while we're waiting for the follow-up photos, here's another. Just when I was bemoaning the fact that I'd been out-Ashleyed on something I had fully expected to scoop up, the watch gods brought me something special. Bill Sohne, please give someone else a chance. ;)

    Heck no. That was just typical cicindela shenanigans; his chicanery skills go well beyond Photoshop. The wife has no idea that I even like watches.

    No sir, not a Vulcain, but that's a fine looking watch that I haven't seen before.

    You were closer with your first guess.

    But speaking of Vulcains, back to teaser #1, which arrived today.

    I'd be interested to learn if that subdial pattern originated with Rolex and was cribbed by other watchmakers, or whether Rolex pinched it from someplace else.

    Good question. I think it shows up only on Singer dials. Maybe it was an option that Singer offered.

    Looks a lot like a Kon Tiki.
