Really nice William. I quite like that, especially for less than fifty beans.
I bought a cheap new tripod today. Also earlier this week I bought a dive-y watch, but I'm not telling what it is until it lands.

some history for you and those that enjoy that sort of thing
Gallet is a historical Swiss manufacturer of high-end timepieces for professional, military, sports, racing, and aviation use.
Gallet [pronunciation: gal-ey / 'gæl.e?] is the world’s oldest watch and clock making house with history dating back to Humbertus Gallet, a clock maker who became a citizen of Geneva in 1466. The Gallet & Cie (Gallet & Company) name was officially registered by Julien Gallet (1806–1849) in 1826,who moved the family business from Geneva to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Prior to this date, operations commenced under the name of each of the Gallet family patriarchs.
Gallet is best known during the 20th century to the present day for its line of MultiChron chronograph wristwatches. Produced primarily for military, industrial, and other professional applications, Gallet’s MultiChron watches often incorporated a number of advanced timekeeping innovations.
A Gallet timepiece of particular renown was the Flight Officer time zone chronograph. Commissioned by Senator Harry S. Truman in 1939 for pilots of the United States Army Air Forces, the Flight Officer (a.k.a. Flying Officer) had a rotating 12-hour bezel and the names of 23 major world cities printed on the periphery of the dial (face). These features made it possible to calculate changes in the time as an aviator flew across lines of longitude. Besides being the first time zone calculating wristwatch, the Flight Officer was the first wristwatch with a rotating bezel and one of the world’s first wrist chronographs to be housed in a water resistant case. Truman wore a Gallet Flight Officer during his terms as 33rd president (1945–1953).

I like it. looked in to it they seem to have a few hand designs.. but that hands seem to be popular on pocket watch wonder if a conversion at some point not that it is a bad thing worth looking in to for just the cool factor
