I like watches with alternate numerals - here's my '46 Omega Cal. 30.10 bumper - saves having to balance the XI against I on the dial.

Exactly. One of the problems for me with full numerals also is that the gap between 11 and 12 is often notably shorter that between 12 and 1, which can look weird. I had the opportunity to hold a Patek Philippe Twenty-4 the other day and it is a very lovely watch but that difference in the gap between the numerals is a bit of a turn off. (Nothing that would keep me from buying the watch (for my wife) if I had the money though 😁)

Wow! This looks like a dream vacation! Thanks for sharing a little bit of your heaven with the rest of us 😀

Thanks for the kind words, it's really our little hideaway place and it's just 45min drive from our home in the city of Östersund. This time a year we have the midnight sun so we have sun pretty much 24/7. First picture is from this morning and the other one is from this night at around 1am.

Those are fantastic lightning shots @Barking mad ! Are you using a lightning trigger for your camera, or just persistent and a little bit lucky?

No nothing special, my iPhone and no patience needed as there was so much of it. If I had more patience I am sure I could have got some spectacular shots😁

The flagship of my collection. A 50 year old all original 1971 Speedy Pro step dial on an 1175/640 flat link bracelet with a 2/71 stamp. Whenever I put this watch on it reminds me of sitting in my elementary school classroom and watching the Apollo Saturn V rockets lift off with running commentary from Walter Cronkite. On a black and white TV, no less! I didn’t appreciate it then, but I was watching history being made. How petty and divisive the US is now compared to that era. Back then, achieving superiority over the Russians in the space race was a matter of national pride that unified us all in a common goal.
