[Q

That is a really sharp example. Not that I am surprised.

It is a nice one. While not mint I believe it is an honest watch and that it has not been used much. There are still facets and finishes where it should be. Rarely seen on this model when used a lot/polished. The bracelet together with the watch sort of tells its story. No stretch and still that matching brushed pattern on both watch and bracelet.

I am not going to do anything to the exterior on this watch.

Starting the day with my Longines circa 1917 13.33 on a newly arrived bespoke David Boettcher trench style strap. I was unsure if this watch was a safe queen/investment when I bought it. Nope! This will be in regular rotation. My steam punk watch!

So, which came first, the watch or the shirt?

Uncanny match!

Well done!👍

My first: "Dibbs".....

Very sweet. I fell in love with this watch during the movie (7 days in May). This looks a little more capable than the one Kirk was wearing.

Still in the crappy hotel. Another day, then off to Chicago for some site seeing. Last time I was in Chicago was for boot camp, 30+ years ago.

Staying near millennium park. Since we don't want to get shot, will probably stay to the north of the park while we explore. Feel free to pm me site seeing tips or tips on how to avoid being shot. 😀

I'm sorry to say this is a modified Speedmaster. The dial is from the gold limited edition 145.0052 and the 'patina' is actually the gold markers - the picture does make it look like patina though.

No wonder it looks different from the speedy around here! Thats a nice mod!
