Nice thing about dainty, skinny wrists is I'm comfortable with a 32mm dress watch.

This post is dedicated to CajunTiger.

He had placed a FS/Trade offer for a magnificent unpolished gilt 1675 last year. I had never been that much of a Rolex fan, but that particular watch just pushed all the buttons for me. I HAD to have it. I whined. I wheedled. I pestered. But CT was really looking for a trade that I didn't have. Meanwhile, he put up with me with great patience. And inspired me to go out and find this 1675 pcg.

It came with the original very faded orange/blue insert. The seller was kind enough to give me a lovely fuchsia insert in addition to the watch.
And then I bought the nearly NOS maroon date-appropriate insert (pictured) which I love. The pics don't do justice to the deep and brilliant maroon color of this one.

Cool beans...keep flying that MD-88 at Delta...they are quickly being retired...all the MD-88s at Delta are scheduled to be retired by 2020 or 2021...at least that's what I was told at MD-88/90 simulator training a few weeks ago in ATL. NOTE: The MD-90 will be around for a while at Delta...no timeline for their retirement.

EDIT ADDITION: @bnabod...quick question...are you out of Nashville, TN per chance? I see you have "BNA" in your OF username so I'm guessing you may be out of Nashville, TN.


Funny you are the first person to ever and I mean ever make that connection and the answer is Yes

Very nice! How do you find the legibility?

So far, it's good. Reading the chrono hands are not great, but Rolex made it a PITA to use the chrono function with the screw down chrono pushers, so they made that moot.

Casual retirement Friday, we're wearing the Seawolf for some light work with the digging fork, making a summer shade for the hens by planting corn in a bed beside the chicken run.

I would love know about the movement. Austrian made?

EDIT: Actually googled the brand. Pretty nice!
