    I love your old things, CFR. I'll wear an old thing as well, in honor of my dad who passed yesterday. He wore this in the '70s but replaced it with quartz because he preferred accuracy (typical engineer.) I found it in his dresser drawer when cleaning out their house.

    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Thank you, Robert. It's my birthyear watch - and no, today is not my birthday.

    Sorry for your loss, Robert.

    Love that Bucherer, great heirloom to remember your dad.

    Very sorry for your loss Richard. Thoughts and prayers for you and yours during this obviously difficult time. A truly lovely vintage to wear in his honor.
    Cheers,

    Chris

    Sure? But 'it' has a crown, not a tiara.



    P.S.: And now, we're almost entering in Monty Python mode.
