Focused on the maniacal Mrs. noelekal and her lopping shears rather than the faithful beater Glycine of ancient lineage, which is soldiering on with the summer solstice fruit tree pruning project earlier this morning. Can't now recapture "the moment" for a retake so posting a prior photo.
Chanced upon this Roamer Vanguard a couple of years ago in very unloved condition so got it repaired, new crown, new lens, serviced etc and there it sat in one of my watchboxes unworn as it had no strap. 2 days ago came across a new Nylon strap and I remembered this un loved Roamer and thought why not, the colour while a difficult match seemed inspired for this watch.
