Lovely selections, chaps.
This week I am sporting another of my custom pieces with vintage PW movements...

My RGM 222-E, the first left-handed watch they ever made:

I remember when you got this lovely piece made.

Sorry for the super late post chaps. I've had a very busy week and weekend. Here's my week and I've carried it over to today.

I'm picking the skeleton chronometer this week.

Cheers mate.
Nearly chose your 40 Years Of, but this needs to be celebrated.

Cheers! It does. I don't wear it very often.

This again, with honorablee mention for the circa 2007 Golden Horse.

Cheers Hank, I always seem to pick this Jetliner and....I've done it again.

Can't say I blame you. I think it's another example of Rado's first generation winners. While it's never gotten the glory the Horses and the Starliner got, it is a fine take on the classic coin rim bezel sports watch of that era with llittle touches of Rado's oddness.

I remember when you got this lovely piece made.

...It was during a period of acquisition of some amazing things...late in 2003 I got the RGM TZLE (on my wrist today) and the Benzinger I wore a couple weeks back. The 222-E was in the works in 2003, but wasn't delivered (IIRC) until 2006. Around that period, my fascination with RADO intensified and, in 2007, the EOT Rado Forum was founded. Glory Days, one might say.
