Not so many can do MuDu Monday, especially here in the Great State of Texas. Feel fairly confident that this is the only one ticking merrily in the state today.

Not too often one can say it's rained in mid west Texas in mid August but it was still sprinkling earlier this morning after an all-night rain, after an all weekend precipitation event which has brought welcome cooler temperatures with it.

Why is it, the more we wear a well worn, vintage watch the warmer it starts to look? Is it simply because it is ours or is it a real thing?

Thanks!
Yes, this is a pretty rare watch, at least according to Rolex production numbers.
Bonus shot 😎

If only I could find a bezel for this , so it's only worn in the house briefly which is such a shame .

Hubris!
For those who noted this morning’s post; the same watch after tripping over my dog 🙁



So, off for a repair

It wouldn't seem right to like that. I can only sympathise with the obvious distress and hope it isn't too bad.

Oris. How that brand has changed over the decades. If you are interested in the humble beginnings of Oris as a brand, check out the thumbnails on the Ranfft archive. Back in the day, Oris was a brand was aimed at the “popular”price ranges (read “cheap”!). Some pin lever, low jewel counts, Rocker bar winding systems. They were still a cut above some of the other brand offerings in and around their price range. Obviously, somebody bought the name and any good will that came with it, and turned it into the brand we see today.
