    Could we agree on using the term "power reserve" in the future? I've justed spent more time than I care to admit wondering how you could tell the direction of the wind from that pocket watch ::facepalm2::

    Just of the NAWCC EBay store. All proceedings go to charity ( I assume this stays with the NAWCC).
    In any case I did not buy it for enjoyment but for the betterment of humanity

    No problem, boss! :thumbsup:

    I will not use the term "Up/Down" indicator either...since it could be interpreted that altimeter capabilities are being utilized. :D

    Thanks, yes, a seller on the 'bay from Massachusetts. It's a Girard-Perregaux Alarm, 1st Gen., '50's. 36mm (I think).

    If there's a reference number, I don't know what it is.

    A solid gold Hastings--I plan to have the original dial & hands from my gold filled example switched out to this, but the (perfectly) refinished ones look nice.

    Think you went with the right one :thumbsup:
    The MK II fits my wrist perfectly too, while the reissue is completely wrong.

    How do you find the case on yours? Going by that photo, I'd say that it has been polished a bit, but it may just be the angle?

    Its been recently serviced by Omega, but I won't get the service data til next week (he's trying to find it, but last resort is get it from Omega). I suspect its had a full renovation, which is fine with me because I want to wear it, not stick it in a safe. Plus it just looks new again.

    ....Now if I could only look like I did 45 years ago.

    Acquired unexpectedly from EBay last week……You know how it goes, …marginal offer accepted ;)

    A cracking Rolex 16264 Turn-O-Graph, white gold bezel, full Oyster bracelet, impeccable history, fully serviced, box & papers

    Unfortunately I am away from Home ATM, & I have used up the 7 slots in the leather travel roll……
