    At our local Scottish pub, The Duke of Perth, @Hijak, myself, and my friend Julio (who has 2 nice ca. 1970 Omegas, pictured toward the bottom).

    Here are the watches (some probably have seen mine before in some recent WRUW posts)...The Elgin PW is an impulse buy of mine from this morning, about 110 years old (18S, grade 294, nickel-alloy case).

    Oops, and I had this on my wrist, no pic from today, but @Optimizer13, didn't you just take some nice photos of it this past weekend? ;)

    Here is one (I'm sure you won't mind my swiping it)...145.006-66 (cal. 321)

    We had some last week, but it rained and melted within a couple of days. Don't tell anyone, but we've so far had much less snow than usual.

    Beautiful shot of that Tissot, Ed! I'm glad it's going to be "in the family"...

    Thanks Adam...something cool about the Tissot dial that doesn't really show in the picture is that the Telemeter scale is black print while the Tachymeter scale is a light blue and the outer ring the scales are on is silver while the rest of dial is a creamy white. Lots of nice detail on this dial.:thumbsup: The more I wear it the more I like it!::love::
