Thanks! I'm sure I've talked about it here, but It's a 1600 that my Dad wore for 20+ years and gave to me. Before he got it, someone had converted it to steel and gold. I had it converted back by ABC Watchwerks, who did a fantastic job.

Sweet insert Nathaniel - it finishes your watch nicely
John, we just got a new puppy - how about that and a kidney for your rail dial?

Russ great shot of your 1680 and agree with you on Nathaniel's insert. I'm thinking if your new puppy is a cute little ball of fur, we could name it "fat font".

Trying out a new black leather band, I think it gives it a whole new look:

Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I don't get to wear it anymore...apparently it now belongs to the wife. But I enjoy looking at it on her wrist.

She's a reluctant enthusiast. But she admitted the other day that nobody has ever commented on a watch she wore, until she started wearing that one. She said she gets compliments weekly from friends and strangers alike, so now she knows it's more than just a watch. Which I guess means I should buy more (at least that's how I take it).

I'm wearing this (it's got some red in it, does that count?) and anxiously awaiting Michael Young to complete my jubilee so I can start wearing the 1503. It's two months out so hopefully it's getting close!

Well it does have Red letters so I guess it counts

Then again it's not vintage.
