    Now that one I like better, except for the date. And the gold bracelet (which, to top it off, looks proprietary).

    When I see details like that I'm always thinking about how difficult it would be to keep them nice and clean!

    The watch in the original post is a redial. The ampersand is the wrong font, and the S is funky.

    It does, however, have one of the finest and prettiest automatics ever made - either the 1499 or 1071, and in the AP world, known as a caliber 2499 or 2071, depending on what year it was made. Same basic movement, one using 4 roller bearings through the rotor. Simply GORGEOUS!
