    On its way from Italy, a pretty, nicely aged gold model from the late '50s. Not the vulgar, showy type beloved by New Yorkers, but a subtle, classy dress chronometre (sorry Lou, my friend - I'd kill for your Port Royal but couldn't resist).

    Oooo, somebody is taking pot shots at the North East's fascination with shiny! :eek: Them's fightin' words..... and if there's one thing we like better than shiny gold watches it's a good bar room brawl. :p

    The logo buckle is a nice extra. :thumbsup:

    Love love love that. I thought I was doing a pretty good job shaking Italy down for goodies like that, but clearly I left a cobblestone unturned somewhere. Congrats!

    Understated Canadian you may be, but you like to poke the hornet's nest like a real Noo Yawker.

    A very very nice pickup, a reference I don't believe I've seen before and I didn't spot it either. How galling - I thought I had Italy cased as well. The dial and movement appear to be in very good condition.

    We badly need an italian field trip - I'm already envisioning our arrival on italian shores...

    Lou is squatting in the bow, with the glasses, determined to be first off the boat!:thumbsup:

    Fortunately for Lou, Mr. Photoshop (aka cicindela) doesn't have a picture of Lou to use.

    Looks like I'm in there too.

    A longship or a Zenith...... or both?

    A Zenith -- especially a Chronometere. I have to get my Centenary first though.:whistling:
