In a shocking turn of events, wearing a speedy pro today! Oh, and was bored enough to do a "pusher self-portrait" (Harder to do than you might think... note the dull expression, it reveals zero hope that this would, finally, be the one. I was wrong.)

Ha! That's some good stuff..."pusher self-portrait"! 馃憤 馃憤 馃憤

I gotta give that the old college try! 馃榿 馃榿 馃榿

Junghans made some movements with pin lever escapement. If yours is noisy as you suggest, it could be a pin lever model.

I know we are Omega people but I've barely had this off my wrist since I got it ... it's such a great fit (and I've just sorted that spring bar ... hadn't noticed it til I looked at the photo because, let's face it, I've just been staring at the dial)

Are you heading to HCMC. If so we could possibly catch up馃榾

That would have been nice - but I am going in another direction. Covert ops. Of a nice kind...

Cal 501 Seamaster today. Here demonstrating the dial鈥檚 ivory-like hue, next to a small piece of鈥eal ivory.


It鈥檚 a bracelet my parents bought in the late 1960鈥檚 on a trip to the Ivory Coast, 20 years before buying/importing ivory generally became illegal. I was just a toddler (didn鈥檛 go on that trip), but they bought a bracelet for my older brother and one for me. The bracelet itself is supposedly an elephant鈥檚 hair.


Here next to some other white/silvery dials. YaY!
