    Magnificient.
    I agree that this dial design looks best sans second hand. A second hand would add nothing to its usefulness and be discordant while the hour and minute hands compliment to decorative touches perfectly.
    My Midland has an ETA 2453 moment, this series of movement designs is great.
    I adjusted mine to exactly +4 seconds per 24 hours. The adjustment is so delicate I couldn't get it any closer, but since its never varied from those four seconds per day I'm sure if I used patience I could get it down to a couple of seconds per week, perhaps less.
    One thing I noticed is this watch has no noticeable positional error.

    Thanks for the kind words. IMHO, its a design that has aged rather well. As a vintage collector, it is a good day when you run across a fifty year old watch having an interesting dial....it is a great day when the dial is in nice shape....it is an excellent day when it is a mint black dial. I got lucky with this piece as it was an online purchase, poor photos and no communication with seller other than "buy".

    I agree with you about ETA's 2400 series and related movements. I recall reading on a technical site that they were capable of chronometer grade adjustment/performance. It has certainly been my experience that these movements are extremely accurate even after years of use and abuse. A couple of cases in point being an early 1960s Croton I picked up at a flea market powered by an ETA 2472 and an Invicta Pro Diver ref. 9937 I purchased twenty years ago powered by an ETA 2824-2 which is my "go anywhere do anything" watch. These movements prove you can get performance on a budget. Cheers!

    I love how you are flying with ForeFlight on an iPad, but are still carrying a traditional kneepad and a good old aluminum whiz wheel. :thumbsup: Double points for flying in flip-flops!

    Seriously, hope you had a great flight. Looks like a lovely day to trade fuel for altitude.
