think I need to make it clear for those that are not into old watches that we will do a bit of a back story on the hp but we know it stands for lip it just reads as HP on the dial.
but if you look closer you will see it is lip but stylised but most just call hp so thought I would to .. will do a bit of a back story on it tomorrow unless one of you guys would like too

well got a bit of time so here's a couple of links on the company that one of you guys kindly sent me on them I was also trying to find the threads I did on them when taking about the slava brand and think I mentioned them on a couple of other threads I did in the russian forum when talking about the R.26 and one of my favourite brands the pobeda. but can't seem to find them at this minute think we talked about it to on the vintage in passing ...

will add my threads if I can find them ....
so the lip / hp has some good back ground this one is not very old but they seem to be popular enough
