·In reaction to a thread elsewhere on the MB which appears to question the motives of anyone who would wear a ROLEX, and to otherwise impugn the brand that many of us love, I uploaded pictures of this one from my collection. It has a caliber 1210 manual wind, 17-jewel movement, and was likely produced for the English market. Hence the 9-karat gold Oyster case, and 10-karat gold back (back made in Switzerland). I have been unable to nail down a hallmark, so I am unable to check the date letter. I assume the watch to be circa 1950. I am wearing this one today, though I rarely wear it as it looks tiny on my big wrist.

·Picture is from last night while watching the Super Bowl, but wore the same watch today. Old reliable SKX pictured next to an equally reliable (but for a different purpose) Rye Old Fashion.

··Home For Wayward WatchesEvery time I say to myself, "There can't be another outfit I've never heard of before," somebody here proves me wrong.
😀
It took OmegaForums membership for me to learn about the murkily mysterious MuDu. I inquired about the watch seen here on Beatle's producer George Martin's wrist and was told it looked like a MuDu.

This called for internet research which led me to watch Ebay auctions because I just had to acquire a genuine Mudu. There are not too many Mudu watches merrily ticking away here in the great state of Texas this evening.

·Thanks for the hint on the case maker. I have long been of the opinion that the 9-karat bezel was made in England, likely because the Swiss wouldn’t make it in 9-karat. And that the 10-karat case back was made in Switzerland. What I find baffling is that there is no English hallmark in the case back, and the letter B doesn’t appear to be an English date letter.

·My first automatic watch handed down to me in 1964; still works and runs accurately.
Nice example noelekal. Here's mine from 1964. Twenty years ago I had my watchmaker change out the hands. Didn't know any better. The original hands looked like yours
Mudu Monday.
Someone clever probably could rewrite the lyrics to the Mamas and Papas tune "Monday Monday" to fit.
