Sure it is!

Here, at least.

An Ebay purchase only a month or two before finding and joining Omega Forums.

Just goes to show how one can run off into the weeds without benefit of Omega Forums study.

Still, the Shameless Hussy has always been the watch that gets noticed the most, and with positive reactions by "The Great Unwatched" out there.

Go figure.

By the way...for any Historic Race Fanatics out there that used to go to Monterey or maybe still do here's a photo collage of some of the cars that Porsche displayed when they were the featured marque in like '97 or '98...

I haven't been there in a while.

We’ve been away, camping, so catch up time on the WRUW thread. All I see for the last few pages is wrist watches! Time to honour the venerable pocket watch! So, today, my 16-size, 21-jewel private label Swiss watch for Porte & Markle Jewellers, Winnipeg, Manitoba. The firm was absorbed by Henry Birks & Sons Jewellers in 1909. So it is a safe bet that this one is about 120 years old. This is the only Electa movement I have ever seen. Associated with Gallet. I marvel at how a watch can exist for 120 years and survive in this condition. Double-sunk vitreous enamel dial, gold filled case by the A W C Co.(American Watch Case Co., Canadian). Hinged front and rear covers and cuvette. First time on my @Duracuir1 leather lanyard. Anyone with preconceived notions about typical plain Swiss movements might be surprised by this one. Bi-metallic, temperature compensating balance wheel, ruby jewels in gold setting held in by polished steel screws, micrometer whiplash regulator, everything beautifully polished, unusual patterned tooling on the bridges.

Waiting on a Hurricane in SoCal. We had a wild thunderstorm right before this pic was taken, the real deal storm should hit tomorrow afternoon. Either way, GMT it is for the whole thing.
