Geeky fun fact: I keep the slide rule on the bezel set to do quick Celsius ---> Fahrenheit temperature conversions
all original Cyma WWW today - except for the "radium" on the hour hand - which is freshly made to look like the rest
First Longines in my collection. 1947. love the white/silver dial combined with dark blue hands and pale yellow numerals.
Very nice Cyma every time I see one of these watches it brings back bad memories of the time I had one . Searched for quite a while to find a good example and was very lucky when I did. I got it from a friend of mine who used to spend his days looking round old watch shops here in London in and around clerkenwell some times portobello market anyway he contacts to say he had pick up a nice Cyma just like yours for me and he would meet at work so I could have a look to see if I was interested it was in good condition for a watch that was made to be used and he told me it would need a complete service so it could be worn again... so I bought it and was very happy. I already had a watch on so I thought why not put it my other wrist so it will be safe whilst I'm at work it comes to the end of my day at work and I get ready to ride my bike to go home just as I'm leaving the yard and heading through the security gates when the guard brought the gate down which just missed my head but came straight down on my wrists one of my watches was my work horse and of course was totally untouched but the Cyma took the full force of the impact and looked like it had been smashed with a Hammer I was so angry because the security guy said wow that was lucky not knowing what he had done by bringing down the gate to early because he said he did not see me the watch did live to fight another day but I have not worn two watches since.......
