So do I. Great watches, guys.

Why not add some shots of your incredible vintage collection to the "gratuitous" thread, John?! Plenty of legs there, but yours would be most welcome…

Ken should join in too.

Hi bro,

Yes it's darker by atleast 1 grade now, but still not as dark as before.

Ps: maybe I look at my 1680 too often, my eyes playing tricks on me

No harm trying IMO, it's fun seems magical

The patina on the hands and markers really goes well with the brown leather
