Well...tangential doesn’t even cover this post but for the sake of completeness here is the current bar being used chez Norfolk holiday...

It’s a bit worn, still functioning, nice patina, all original I believe...Used regularly. But no box or papers sadly.

My sister in-law is a germaphobe (I’m a bit neurotic with washing my hands and elbows opening doors but she takes the prize). She uses the travel size soaps and throws them out after one use. Cuts down sponges and throw them away after one use....my brother wonders why they are always tight on money 😗

Don’t tell her about the many millions of bacteria residing in her mouth!

She considers that flora- we have had this discussion about good bacteria vs. bad bacteria. I ride public transit every day- I am forced to sit in the collective funk that is our species...you get over the germaphobia pretty fast...not that I lick the railings in the metro 🤮

Just don't use it for snorkeling.
I guess it’s not too early to drink- just got it back from a refresh and this pic is mine- not a web grab!

SNORKEL!!

Magnificent piece. Did your watchmaker use this method?

Are these hands original?

Are these hands original?

The lettering seems off on that dial, could be a redial

I’m on holiday down south and don’t have my reference books with me! So throwing this to the experts...
bumper movt I guess 354. Shop says 14k case. Where they not 18k? Circa 1956/7 ish?
Wrong unmarked crown and I guess wrong hands. Is dial refinished too?
Only got one pic but can grab some more tomorrow. Price is currently north of 2k.
The thoughts of the forum are as ever much appreciated!
That’s to much IMO
