Jammed with my Fender Mustang bass tonight, which I've rarely gotten to do lately. Great photo-op with my timepiece of choice for such occasions 馃槈

Thanks Hijak, I bought the strap from Strapped for Time. They were pretty responsive and helpful - I had a good buying experience.


Just ordered a few straps from here, nice selection, thanks for the post!馃憤

With all this Heuer love around I was inspired to bring this one out of the box. 11630 or as I prefer to call it - "The big block"

14K from the '20s...guilluche dial. I've had this one since before I bought a digital camera, at least 11 years or so.

Managed to find the perfect strap and marble surface to photo it... Really enhances the dial 馃榾

Well, if you all don't like the Ferrero (those photos don't do it justice, the way the gold case and dial shimmer in the light, and the presence on the wrist), here's another goldie I switched to for the afternoon.

Bradford B, white 14K, cal. 770 (1960)





Not a dislike of the "Rocher" but close up of the lume had a somewhat house of horrors look.
Sure on the wrist it is fantastic.
Does honesty really pay ? 馃檨

It is a refinish (bought before I knew any better), but it's actually done pretty faithfully to the original. That photo was to show the sunburst dial pattern, but necessarily was very highly magnified! Of course, I'd prefer to have an original, patina-ed dial...oh well!

Here is another, perhaps more realistic, pic:

An afternoon change to a "Titus" from the thirties, probably at the very end of the popularity of hinged cases. Fifteen jewels & three adj. keeping great time although never happy to see the regulator in that position.
Not its' first outing and probably not its' last.
