Swapped to this again for the evening.

Stuck it on one of the CW aviator straps (I bought a load recently from the Euro site) and I think that it works pretty well!

(just noticed the shirt! Sleeves have been rolled up all day hence the creases and they are reflections, the cuff is not faded!! )

That look superb. The one downside to the blue is not being able to use the Bond nato. Need to get hunting for an alternative.

I prefer this to the IWC, especially those with the missing nine
I miss all the great things that may never be.

Ha ha! I've been there! I can't remember what I ordered at the "Guano Cafe" though! Nice watch by the way!

Def get that Cyclops put back on the Rolex - the dates wrong "blowy" :lol:


Anyway, inspired by Pete's (Dancematt) super post yesterday I managed to dig our very old quartz Rado's out.
Bought these after selling my mixed metal DJ - got fed up with people asking if it was real - yeah I know, we all have regrets :(

These ain't far off yer Birth Year "blowy" :oops: Nah, they aint for sale after all this time :D

Nice Dreyfuss Kev, missed it whilst dooooooooooin this post :thumbup:
Cracking clear shot too!!

Great minds, Winnie Bloo!

I also wanted to reference Dancematt's Rado post, by pointing out that the vintage Longines I'm wearing today also has a faceted crystal.

I don't think it makes it difficult to read the time, but it certainly makes it hard to take a proper pic of the dial.

And when you're trying to adjust the time and align the minute hand with the right marker, you have to angle the watch just right in order to get a good view.

Thanks to all the nice comments on this yesterday.

It really is a special watch that has far surpassed my expectations - not easy to do as I have very high expectations: probably explains my ridiculous turnover this past year. Still thats going to change next year with 2/3 out and 1 in 8)

Indeed, and that is very nice - a super photo too.
Superb condition :clap:

A friend had an Elgin, I think that was very similar, he would never part with it though :(
