    Well, I made a purchase today, but I won't bother posting a picture because it is not a watch. I bought a new bow for my violin. It has 14-karat rose gold fitments. Cost as much as a decent watch, and 2 1/2 times what I paid for the violin! Oh! But what a difference!

    My favorite :thumbsup: ... I may or may not have bought entire Speedmasters simply because they included a full-length 1039....:whistling:

    I snagged a Speedmaster a few weeks ago on that basis. Paid what seemed a high-ish price for a 145.022-69 w/ extract, but figured I could at least sell the Speedmaster on if need be....

    ... until, after paying, I took another look at the seller's photos and realized I missed an important detail! So now I'm stuck with it / it might be my favorite watch:

    Arrived this morning and it's bloody lovely in the metal.

    Have some links on order from the local Boutique... And then I can start enjoying it properly!

    First impression is that it's very different from my moonwatch... Equally lovely, but in a different way. image.jpeg

    He had no pics of the movement.

    I'm not sure how he determined that its a cal 290...

    ...beat rate, maybe? 18,000 bph vs. 19,800 bph...

    Just happen to run across this one, paid for it today and hope to get it next week.

    About 2 years ago I found a Gemini4 without a box, but it had the original purchase receipt.

    OK, not a watch, but this big, beautiful chunk of polished Labradorite from Madagascar.

    2500 grams / 18 x 11 x 6 cm
