The PSO-1 looks like it originally had a sort of hammertone paint job? Is that correct?

I think I can see what you mean in photos, but in person it's got a sort of sparkly luster that shifts with the light - the patterns seem to dance around faintly as the angle of the sun emphasizes different directions of the lines. Almost like how mother of pearl behaves, but much less intense. It's very pretty for a scuffed up piece of overpriced steel.

This sounds like something I need to see in person.

You guys must have been living sheltered lives …. this was the one that always drew my eye …

Is that Amanda Lear?
I know she was on their other album cover with the puma.

No, a Norwegian, Kari-Ann Moller, who is married to Chris Jagger, Mick’s brother

Just returned from a servicing. When I bought it from a private seller here on OF he advertised it as "runs perfectly, as expected."

That turned out to be over 3 minutes fast when I got it, with him saying that's good for a watch this age. Lol!

Now I'm no expert but it runs 12 seconds fast, dial up - that's much closer to "runs perfect." In my opinion at least.

Great improvement, also has a heart of a lion with that amplitude. Enjoy it for many years to come.

Thank you. I didn't check to see what the lift angle should be so the amplitude and best error might not be accurate.

April 18th is National Pocket Watch Day! So, a rather rakish 1906 vintage Elgin Veritas with its three fingered bridge movement is serving.

A smart black leather DaveK Mystery Braid lanyard secures the watch in the jeans watch pocket.
