Afternoon switch to a new arrival, ref. 3116 Oyster Royal (this reference also was called a Viceroy) with double-signed dial. The retailer was based in the British Raj (in Chennai, apparently still extant). This example still has the original flush crystal (so nice).

There's one you don't see every day - such great condition and on a period tropic strap too. 馃憤

I鈥檓 thinking seriously about one of these. The originals are unobtainable. How do you like it?

Speedy Tuesday rolled into Speedy Wednesday...doing a little bit of Hot Wheels 1/64 scale 1/8 mile drag racing in the motel room with my new Hot Wheels mobile drag kit. For the record, @ChuckMK23 [who has a degree in mathematics] previously did the BIG MATH to get the track length correct for a proper 1/8 mile...thanks, Chuck! Good times! 馃憤

Black and Gold (BTW I waited for the hands to align like a nerd, I didn't just adjust them for photo)

I鈥檓 thinking seriously about one of these. The originals are unobtainable. How do you like it?

Actually I don鈥榯 know why I was waiting so long. It is perfect size, beautiful design and has a history. Goes with many colors of straps. Weight 72g. Height 12,5mm. However I removed a deployment clasp (not so comfortable) and put the normal pin buckle. And you don鈥檛 see it on every corner (I mean wrist 馃槈).
Yes the originals are really expensive. This one is one third of the price. Of course it still doesn鈥檛 have a vintage charme, but I鈥檓 working on that. However because of the size it is danger- my wife really likes it and yesterday she already said that she would like to put it sometime 馃檨.
Here a photo of the pin buckle:

In the meantime I also put it to my Timegrapher https://www.lepsi.ch/watch-scope/
And the results were great +2s/d!
