Incoming 5512!
Just a day after missing out on a picking up a 5513 that I spent a little too long waffling about, I found an even better piece! The watch gods are smiling on me.
FedEx says it will be here at 10:30 tomorrow morning...might be a sleepless night ...

He truly is. Super knowledgeable and forthcoming about everything.
I plan to visit HQ Milton mid-April. I'll have to leave my chequebook behind...I'm tapped now.

A little, yes. But it's 100% original puffy lume from 1967 Tritium dials. The crack is called "character"!
