From the gym socks side of the drawer

Hi All:

Here is a DRSD (finally got the acronym right!) for Labor Day as I lounge around on the internet avoiding a backlog of work that will eventually have to be dealt with.

Sunny and clear outside what am I doing here?

I hope everyone is having a good day (oops--for those in the US who have a holiday and for those not in the US who might have to be at work).

Cheers.

RC

If that watch could talk I'm sure she has a lot of interesting stories to tell. Great Picture.

That's it... I am coming for your drawer!

So far, you have pulled out some nice APs, very rare Panerai and now this? Ridiculous

Wish I found that in my sock drawer. Only thing in mine is an Omega Speedmaster. Although a Speedy isn't a bad drawer find anyway

Thanks, everybody for the kind comments.

Leon: Watch pictures used to be so hard to take due to the flash and reflections on the crystal. People used to make fabric boxes with a hole for the lens, but now I just use my iPad.

Chris: My sock watches were not especially rare or even sought after a few (several--time flies) years ago, but something happened. It makes me wonder what watches today are under-appreciated.

Joe: A Speedy is great to find in your sock drawer. I am starting to look at Omegas ("look" is literal--my interest in watches is superficial and based on appearance) because of their great history.

Holiday is over and it's back to work.

Really nice PPDRSD.

Looks like the dial has been switched out at some point in its life:( to a MK4.

How did you come about this watch? She is a beaut.
