My local who has supplyed me for 30 years.

He also finished up this other 4220.




And I picked up this 6809 Greenland Exbition from him that he also serviced for me.





Really good watch day for me!

Also pulled out my 76100 to get ready for spring by mounting it to a rubber Hydronaut strap.





Everyone wants Sea-Dwellers. I'm happy with my old turds.

Not sure if this qualifies as vintage, but was left to my brother by Dad when he passed in 2006. Dad bought it new and wore it for over 20 years I'm pretty sure. Picture taken last June and my daughter's wedding, on my wrist after I asked my brother if I could put it on for a minute.
