Cheers Scott! I'd be hard pressed to disagree. It is after all still amongst my favourite watches .

Cheers Tim! It was an accidental theme. Once I picked the 7724 on Wednesday it seemed like I didn't have any other choice but to keep the LRs coming.

Only four this week.

First, the late version of the ref. 7624

Followed by the TC ref. 7724

I could choose any of the three, but I'll go for the monster Sea 3

Gotta be the vintage chrono. Just north of us is supposed to get snow on Monday. We won't be that bad, though.

Haven't picked this beauty in a while.

Good luck!

Three days, three LRs in chronological order. As this Ref. 7724 has an ETA 2836-2 in it, it is likely from 1982 or so.

Good to know Brad. It looks fun and it's the perfect price for me to dive with.

Another Louis Rossel today, but much smaller. The circa 1976 tungsten carbide Ref. 7624

A big old lump for a late 60s/early 70s thing. 40.5 mm across.

Thank you Peter. He's back to his fiesty old self.

Cheers Tim. Everything in the outfit is from my regular wardrobe. The corduroy blazer was my dad's. It fit's me perfectly.

Cheers Scott. Dickens is al better. I think the bitten by something is almost certainly true. I found a gravely wounded wasp in the house.

Unfortunately Rado never did a 20 or 30 Years of. Some of us pretend that the Diastar 1 Chronometer is a 10th-ish anniversary watch. Their is a Diastar 60, but I am still not sure I need it, despite...

Dick was feeling unwell this morning, so came home at lunch and hung out with him.
He seems fine now.

My week.

This for the weekend, unique Nienaber pointer.

Nice.

What are your feelings on the Swatch X Blancpain a few months in. I may be by a Swatch store in the end of June and I may be tempted to grab one if they've got them in stock. Ithink it...

Good news on the weather. My day started at 2C and by shortly after lunch it was 25C

Nice theme crowned by the skeleton chronometer.

Honorable mention to the Black Bay, though the Marstron just, barely, pips it.

Yesterday was the 50 Years Of Diastar and today it's the 40 Years Of XL. AT 300 pieces it is one of the rarer Rados ever built.

Original Captain Cook Mk II, the one in the back.

Cheers! It's been enjoying a little more wrist time again lately.
