    Cheers!

    It's not running (broken stem/incorrect crown combo)... so it needs some love, and a decent service (STS to the rescue).

    Also a refinish on the case, to take it back to factory.

    You've just offended everyone in the country... there's much sighing, tutting, and assorted muttering. ;)

    I'll slow down after this one, I promise.

    Speedmaster Date (3513.33) with white Guilloché dial - often referred to as a Japanese Market model... but I'm not so sure about that.

    Back from a great trip to Europe for me and the new fiancée and a few sweet purchases. First took a bit of the watch budget but happened to leave enough for a little black number for me. (Sellers pic as will take a bit to get here)
