Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)
^^^^^ Thanks Bernie. I am really pleased with it - I particularly like using the alarm.
It's running about a minute slow per day so I think I will try and find someone to service it. The last Rolex service was in 1977. From what I have read they did 3 or 4 different dial/hand variations of this reference 7926, with the 3, 6, 9, 12 version being the rarest.

I like it... A dual crown 50s watch has just got to be a winner in my book.nbg wrote:Starting the day with a 1959 Tudor Advisor.

Re: Vintage watch of the day (30 years+)
Bad photo..sorry. I switched to another spezichron:
this one actually has a 11-27 movement. Modern Glashutte automatics were based on these calibers (vaguely..it like a corelation between VW Beetle and Porsche 911 GT3) and theyre robust and also tick at 28800. Nice watches.
