. . . 'Pigpen'. The FG engraving on the back is so faint I just noticed it today under fluorescent light.

I've been meaning to ask the Forum: What is the correct terminology describing that "checkerboard-y" looking track around the outside of of this Genève? Speedmaster Racings and some other mid-1960s Omega Seamasters can be found with it.

I've always known it as a chequered ribbon dial and in the Genève's case a direct reference to the chequered b & w finish flag of a race.

Love this combo (but obviously the SS buckle on the Genève)

Absolutely! The New England IPAs are outstanding

I've just bought a watch with a design similar to that on the can 😉

The symbol for the Church of the Spaghetti Flying Monster has edged it's way into dive watches now- its tentacles are everywhere. Gotta love it. I believe it has now taken control of the illuminati squirrels and weasels.

😁

The bezel isn't perfect but is original DoN so I can live with that. Everything else is as expected and no red flags - the bracelet has all the links thankfully and the original gold spring bars.

Color me envious! This is a grail for sure and a gorgeous piece. Now I’ll have you and @hansmaulwurf to thank for repeatedly making me jealous. Congrats on getting this! It’s definitely a worthy replacement for all the pieces you sold.
