Please, what's occurring on the side of the case between the lower crown and the pinhole in the lug? Is it an etched pattern?

^^^^ an optical illusion caused by the reflection of the leaded windows

Don't know whether to be disappointed by that being all it is or impressed by the quality of polishing to enable it. I'll settle on the latter, thanks

Many watches gone, but this 1961 Bulova still with me.

It looks really nice on the nato! Great combination!

This is my vintage of the day:

And a little Glashütte today. This one is marked as made in Germany instead of GDR, so it was probably produced before 1959:

As I discovered a hair on the dial (never trust hairy watchmakers), I had to take the Glashütte back to the watchmaker. So I had to wear my "new" incoming Laco this afternoon

The Kontiki has been nosing around Burlington Arcade today and standing no nonsense from its overpriced cousins.

And another Valjoux 7733 finds its way to Tikka Towers

First running of 20 hours, not dropped a minute yet.... The rallye strap came out of my drawer.
