Blue hands, and golden numbers in an oversized and stepped case. 1940s / 50s Valjoux 22. No better way to start the weekend and watching France - Netherlands tonight !

I know I’ve posted previously today but I’m just so pleased to have this one back from the spa.

I think these ‘C-case’ style Admirals are probably my current pet subject.

Lovely dial 👍
Thank you, sir. I'm fortunate to have two hobnails in my collection. They aren't easy to come by.

Vintage Seiko goodness! Also, spent the afternoon touring my new offices, under construction. Been with the same org since we were 5 people in a basement. This is unreal, but honestly I mostly just felt anxiety about all the new overhead costs 😒

Ca. 1975 Gruen “Big Triangle” 200M Diver - Ref 754 - powered by a 25J, ETA 2783. Some may call this a Gruen “Explorer II” based on the dial. Gruen most certainly shared Stern Freres as a dial manufacturer with the Rolex, specifically for the Explorer II - Reference 1655. Interestingly, Rolex purchased the Gruen Precision Factory building after their closing in 1976.

If only they had kept the 24-hour hand… still, pretty interesting looking watch and a nice mashup of the Explorer 2 and Submariner
