    New - to me - but very old thing arriving

    So, I did it. Again.

    It's always the same story: suddnenly, without warning (or mercy) you find a very old piece shouting at you.

    You don't need another watch and this piece has seen its fair part of abuse during the years. But it stands proud of its originatly, it's here, working and observing everything since the WW II and refuses to give up. What can we do?!

    Just a quick pic of the movement. More details, later. Stay tuned.

    If you want to guess - watch/model/movement, please, go ahead.

    Thanks, Iyonk.

    You're right: it is not a g-shock, but I'm sure it has seen too many shocks during its long life.

    oooh - 17 jewels, hand wind, WWII - can't wait for the reveal. I'm officially guessing something Omega for no other reason than you have a lot of Omega and I'm hoping to see another beauty in your collection.
