··YaY!New accessory arrival: One of the lovely mahogany boxes that came with some of the Megaquartz 2400 Marine Chronometers and later cal 1343 Quartz Chronometers from the 70s. The mahogany with brass inserts resembled the cases of actual ships chronometers. My thanks to Greg @gbesq for reaching out and letting me acquire it from him.👍
My cal 1511 OMC looking at home...YaY!
This one is missing the insert used for holding the watch, but if I can find a similar velvety material, I should be able to make a halfway decent one myself. The late Tom Dick had done this for one of his.
In other, weirder news, I found an opossum taking its daytime nap under a grill cover. 😲 When it goes out foraging tonight I'll clean up the area and make less hospitable for the return. 😜

·Four of us have started planning for the annual Railway Days event at our local Heritage Park. This is an historic village on 126 acres and comprising 180 exhibits, 50% relocated heritage buildings, 25% replicas, and 25% analog buildings. Two kms of track, and two live steam locomotives. We exhibit about 100 railroad standard pocket watches and wrist watches, and standard railroad clocks. All live, by the way. The park should draw about 10,000 railroad enthusiasts over the two day show. We’ll talk ourselves hoarse. Caught up in the planning as I am, it is time to don one of my Accutron railroad watches. This one from 1966. Very low mileage on this artifact.

Look, all he wanted was a piece of toast with strawberry jam on it.
😁
But that box looks awesome!

··Sunburst dial fanWhat a beautiful sharkfin case, congratulations!
Wishing you all a great week-end - I'll be wearing my Longines Ultra-Chron ref. 8455, sold in Hong Kong in 1973.
I’m a fan of Longines generally and Ultra Chrons in particular (as well as Admirals and Conquests). I’m always impressed by the dials which, for fifty year old watches, always look pristine
