Been wearing this Stingray tonight, just back from my Watchmaker late this afternoon.
Extensive repairs to get it back to standard, had a missing crown and smashed in case tube but luckily I had a new OEM Roamer crown and case tube in my stash.
When it was opened by my watchmaker ( these are mono cases) it had a bunch of rust around the winding pinion and gear but luckily I had a parts movement for him to rob though he had to manufacture a click spring, so repaired and serviced and looking like a million bucks with that late 60 70's vibe.

Zero wear through on the case so I am guessing it's sat in someone's drawer for many years, I bought it from a fellow collector who also had it sitting in a drawer for many years in the same condition I received it in.

Never seen a chocolate dialed Stingray before.

Roamer Stingray Mod 471-1230-600

Rainy day spent indoors washing up and cleaning my apartment. No worries with the screw down crown of the Komanderskie.

OOOooo...HamDoctor, that's a bit of a different Longines Ultra-Chron look. I like it!

It's a ref. 8442, the case shape is ... odd, but fun to look at. Not the most common child of the Ultra-Chron family ;-)

Dropping off gear on a miserable day. Yet the season beckons.

Remember how the old movies "fuzzed" the beginnings of the love scenes as the sound track violins rose to a crescendo? Well ... Shameless Hussy Re-dial looks better softened by the camera lens fogging in the morning humidity. You'll just have to imagine the violins.
