This just arrived for my wife, anniversary present, but had to sneak in a quick wrist shot before it goes into hiding for a month. A bit small for me, it’s the 35mm version, but should look great on her.
Ok hands up I admit I have fallen off the wagon, all has been going well for some time with sales only until a certain English made military piece crossed my path today and I found myself back to my old ways 🤦
May be with me tomorrow and I hope some may understand my weakness when I post some images 🙁
@Spruce has been hyping 135.041 Genèves so naturally I had to buy one. Great presence, just like the man advertised. Plus I really like gold furniture on a stainless steel watch.

Yours looks to be in great condition for a fifty year old watch.
Do you agree that it 'wears bigger' than its actual size?

Yes it's in nice sharp condition. Absolutely, wears bigger than the diameter suggests. I would say it's near perfect size for my wrist 😀 Very happy with the purchase. I was a little worried because the seller's description mentioned "it runs but does not keep time". I was very pleasantly surprised when I noticed the watch has a normal power reserve and runs -20s/d.
Just don’t see enough of these. Love the contrast between the dial, lume and orange hand.
Seems like those are really rare birds. On my research I just found 3 other examples on OF. There is an other one at the Omega museum in Bienne (with a too short chrono hand 👎). eBay & Co showed about a handful sales in the last years.
All in all I couldn't find more than 10 of them (mine included)
incoming, 1910 Elgin Father Time, 3/4 plate 18s railroad watch.... I'm still engaged in a pissing match with @DaveK to see who can come up with the largest turnip to hang on one of his magic lanyards.
