Condition looks tops! Beautiful piece. Do you wear it with that bracelet?

 

Well if that isn't one icy cool watch, I've never seen one. Looks like it should be in a chewing gum commercial.

 

yes Sir... and my wrist skin's so soft since I have no more hair left on it

 

Thanks. More ice on the back...

 

Is there any real story there?--did Nivada/Grenchen(/Croton) supply one of the Antarctic expeditions at one time?

Cool marketing either way.

 

As I understand it, Nivada supplied watches to the members of the US Navy Deep Freeze One expedition in 1956-56 (probably not pretty watches like this one), then started putting "Antarctic" on lots of models... I guess because "Sherpa" was already taken.

 

The expedition was led by a similarly chilly admiral, Richard Byrd.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

That is one sweet thousand-yard squint.

 

Very nice photograph and superb watch!

 

In need of some TLC

 

Monday with a tight schedule. Timing is no issue!

 

Couple of morning tries ... Martin if you read this

 

Mired in work at 5.25pm...watch is fully charged but I feel totally drained!

 

AT for me

 

Very Nice! my goal is to find a black-dialed vintage, either an Omega or Longines - prefer an original dial. If anyone sees anything out there let me know!
