Me too!!

DH back on the BoR

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.
