Back from a week of playing with grand kids and sporting a 1918 Elgin B.W. Raymond for the day. On a dark blue DaveK lanyard. I miss DaveK and his posts here.

Dang it…no mention of my super awesome AWCI build-a-watch school ETA 6497-1 “Mad Dog Flieger Special” in the current San Francisco magazine. Maybe next time. Just checked into the Westin St. Francis for the layover…

I hope I got the S# correct.

I have a later version of this B W Raymond. A grade 571. But these earlier grades are much more aesthetically pleasing than the later ones, what with the added decoration and damask finish.

@noelekal ’s sharp Elgin has a double sunk vitreous enamel dial. My later version (grade 571) has a single sunk vitreous enamel dial. The double sunk one is the one I prefer.

I recently sent a second email to Dave’s private email address. He may have turned his back on the OB because a link to him no longer appears in a post to the OB. And he doesn’t answer his private emails! Concerned!

Dropped the dog at the pet groomer (not sure of this translation ?) and now taking a coffee waiting for the bookshop to open… time to browse through OF and share this watch ;-)
