I don’t think I like you very much…………but of course if you gave me this watch I’d be your best friend FOREVER!!!

Seems like a really affordable means for a best friend!!! 😀

Today is one of those rare days when I wear my 90-year old Rolex Prince Observatory duo-dial “doctor’s watch”. Too fragile for any type of wear except for leisurely casual wear. I’m the second owner. My late father bought it in the early 1930s, and it was his daily driver for a decade or so. He ran a hole-in-the-wall jewelry/watch repair shop from the mid-1940s, but by this time, the Rolex was semi-retired. He was wearing Bulova watches by the time this one was put aside. He often loaned it out when he was repairing a customer’s watch! This is the only watch of its type I have ever seen that has 18-jewels, and adjusted to 6-positions. Movement made for Rolex and Gruen, by the Swiss firm Aegler. Unfortunately, a gold filled case.

Very cool watch. Thank you for sharing.

Don't even know what reference this is but I'm digging it

I've been eyeballing that model for a while. What do you think of the bracelet? It looks good on the strap.

I’ll be your best friend for just a year in exchange for that watch for only a corresponding amount of time. Less risk for you that way

I really enjoy the Falcon III. I don’t think one can find a nicer field watch for the ~$400 that these go for used. The bracelet is surprisingly nice - like better quality and finishing than bracelets I’ve experienced on watches that cost three times as much (e.g. Seiko and Hamilton watches).

You should definitely get one!

Hmmmm… I didn’t expect to be undercut in negotiations for that watch….

wearing some white dial ;-)

Have a good start of the week !

Edit : while preparing the packaging of one Tissot chrono I sold, I change the strap and decided to put it on the FOIS … I will keep that one for the day :
