1972 style

AP Jumbo and Dunhill Rollagas lighter, both made in Switzerland in 1972, appreciating the similar textures to their products, just having some fun with camera.

Yes the AP is only a couple of weeks old and already showing some wear, but thats because I'm wearing it

hope you like the pics

Beautilful pics. Love the two pieces and great colors with that background. One thing I love about the Jumbo (probably true for a lot of APs) is how much you can appreciate it and take it in when looking up close, but then see it on yourself from 5 or 10 feet away in a mirror and it has a whole other magnificence to take in. Such macro and micro beauty!

Classy pics!
Glad to see the Jumbo is getting it's due wrist time.
It could be completely covered in scratches & swirlies and be no less beautiful.

This is such a beautiful watch...! Thanks for sharing!

But if I'm not mistaken both were not made in 1972 (maybe the lighter is?). This is a 2013 Jumbo right? ;)

Love that you are wearing it and not worrying about the proof. Great shots, totally see the resemblance. Worlds largest disco is held annually thanksgiving weekend in my home town of buffalo. You and mike are more than welcome to come over and relive the 70s anytime.
