    All of this talk of cheese reminded me of a recent incoming.

    A very nice vintage Trench Cheese with a flawless enamel dial and sub-seconds.

    Apparently it was a dual purpose model. When the rations ran out you could eat your watch.

    Those crazy Swiss, they think of everything!

    Now if only they could use that technology to make a bracelet for my watch, it would be perfect!

    Do you find you get moist wrists wearing this watch in hot climates?

    Beware some guy tried to scam me using pictures of the OP's cheese. Glad I saw this thread. I've sent him the following message "I know that's nacho cheese!"

    Did you feel "brighter" after eating the cheese watch with radium hands? :)

    I really like Blue Cheese and fell in love with this vintage model with an awesome patina...
    uploadfromtaptalk1459357032141.jpg
    ...but now I'm not sure if this is really a vintage cheese or just a modern cheese with simulated patina. Are there any cheese patina experts out there?
