the Grail arrived last night... I've always wanted an Illinois with a gothic dial... but to find one with a 24 jewel movement....

winding is a bit stiff, so in for service it goes!

No trick but a treat. With its murky and mysterious origins, which watch would be more appropriate for Halloween than the MuDu? It was still out on the dresser today with its date showing the 31st. Must have been an omen.
