Electric blue in its "new" home. Case from a 2561.80 with what I think was significant water damage. Whatever happened destroyed the dial, hands, and movement. The 2263.80 was also a "for parts or repair" pickup as its HEV and crown were both rusted out, though surprisingly the dial and hands seem pristine. Still needs some work though. The crystal in the good case has a smudge on the inside near the date window that will bug the heck out of me, and the movement from the 2263.80 is flaky. I don't expect to find a 1538, so I'll probably put in an ETA 255.462.

I just bought this Sandon, a model of watch Barrington Griffiths Watch. Made in Canada. In fact, made in my city, Calgary, Alberta.39mm case, 48mm lug to lug, 10.5 height, Miyota 9015 movement, AR coated sapphire crystal front and back, screwed on Horween Chrome Excel leather straps.

The owner Mark started out in 2010 buying vintage pocket watch movements and re-casing them as wrist watches, been producing wrist watches for a number of years now.

Maybe a bit biased but I'm really happy with it, excellent value at $585 CAD.

While it's mostly open water on the Fox River...

...there's a good 10 - 12 inches (25 - 30 cm) of ice on nearby Lake Pistakee, Illinois and the ice fishing scene continues to be strong.

YaY!

Zowie! You snuck up on us with that one!
It shows up infrequently. There are not too many Smiths watches ticking in Texas!
