It's baaaaaack....
Those of you with memories like elephants will remember that I bought this watch many, many months ago. For those who don't, to make a looooong story short; when I got the watch I wasn't too thrilled by it, and sent it off to get a facelift, hoping that it would come back improved enough that I would fall in love with it.
Happily, my hopes for this watch have been quite exceeded, and I'm happy to report that I can now barely imagine taking this classic off, much less selling it (which I had been bracing myself to do until this afternoon). LarryK, I owe you at least a dinner at Peter Luger's next time I'm in NY, and Sharkman... watch out for those security guards, they apparently don't like to see grown men monkeying around with watchs too much =) A quick pic of my two latest cool toys, complete with reflection of the ceiling.

I never was into vintage, except my wife, but that's a fine looking watch.

Very nice, Micah. They did a great job on it. Looks like it could have come right out of the AD's showcase.
