@Dr No. What an intriguing and warm story surrounding this watch, truly one in a billion! This illustrates synchronicity.... in a fateful way.
Hamilton Illinois Automatic / ETA 1256 Can see the Radium burn on the dial where the hands had remain stopped for a long time.
Girard Perregaux 4945. This one uses the bulletproof ETA 2892a with the Dubois-Depraz chrono module. I keep meaning to let this one go but somehow it never happens !
My AT and this Seiko have been in heavy rotation lately. I’m tempted to add a twist-o-flex to my AT... I really like them.
Triple like! So now I've seen an orange bezel AND a red bezel! I keep liking this watch more and more!
Switched to my 1996 Speedmaster 3590.50 for the evening. The tritium lume on this reference ages beautifully.
Should have been wearing this today but when it arrived this morning I found it was non functional Grrrr lots of money spent and that's the result, seller did not disclose that it was not in working condition. You can imagine my feelings I am sure, only ameliorated by the knowledge that its due a service any way due to its age. So it was off to my WM first thing for a service and repair. This is a very rare Titoni Chronograph with an Valjoux 7750 circa late 1990's up to late 2000's I haven't researched actual production dates yet. Titoni have a policy of making automatics as their main fare but not Chronographs as this was not what their target clientele demanded so to get a Chronograph is a very rare thing indeed especially this iteration, there was an earlier chronograph the Speed King but as far as I can tell that's it. My guess is that they made only a handful of these possibly only hundreds or less in comparison to their bread and butter production and the cost would have been very high in the market place that Titoni inhabits.
Unless something dramatic happens in my disposable income situation this is probably as close as I'll ever get to a Cartier Tank...
Early start this morning, new washing machine due this morning between 7:32 & 9:32 then all I have to do is install it whilst her ladyship will more than likely keep asking ' will you be much longer' Anyway R.A.F. Seiko it is today
