·Here's one a friend gave me before passing away a few months ago. I always think of how nice he was
everytime I see all the things he's given me. From guns, pilot supplies, etc.

·I took better pics of my 1927 Elgin to do her justice. I treated her to a spa and crystal replacement last month, with strict orders to NOT touch the dial, or polish the gold. Timekeeping is pretty good for an 88 y.o., at +15 to +20 day in 3 positions:

·A quiet Sunday evening in Chez Alpha so another piece. A military B.W. Raymond from 1940, navigators watch and slightly unusual in that it has centre seconds.

·HA, HA, HA ! I only wish. At least then it might be worth getting running, alas it is only a lowly 4th model. At best I think it would be worth about $75 in near mint condition.
could be worse!
this was $15 new...... with a chain!
