A present for my good lady. She has commented in the past how much she liked the look of this model so deal done. Coming along with original bracelet so all in all should earn me a few brownie points 馃榾


Wait, I thought it was YOUR birthday???

Happy belated birthday, btw 馃榿

A very nice collectible piece, the 4992B is highly regarded as you are probably aware. The serial number indicates it was issued in 1958.

Just received a package from Scotland today...

And couldn't wait to get it on my wrist!

Am very happy with this, it looks fantastic...second "C" case of the year, think I'm developing a thing for these.

But that's not all, our Scottish friend (we all know who I'm referring to) included a little bonus to the package...

A 24mm mechanical Timex that my 13 year old daughter will love! My daughter always wears a watch and this will be her first mechanical one.

What a generous thing to do! Things like this just don't happen elsewhere, I'm grateful to be a part of such a fine place!

I'd think twice before I thought I got the better of a Scotsman.馃檮

I'll ignore the slur and let my Legal Beagle handle the compensation claim 馃槈

Robin Williams was so true to life, working in Glasgow forty odd years ago even I used to struggle to understand what some were saying in the pub.
Mind you we have a good side when it comes to animals 馃榿

Up to now my Longines collection have been rather thin. I am a sucker for structured and elaborate dials, and when this one came up for auction I just could not resist. 馃グ
If this one does not clean up well I am going to be very surprised (and extremely disappointed).
Conquest cal. 291. Ref/ 9024 1 - Sellers pictures.

Watchmaker update: Dial is clean. Movement dry and dirty but otherwise no major issues.
Just a couple of weeks and then馃榾!
