Fabulous 1655 from Andrew Shear after invaluable help from Connor MacLeod aka Ken!
My iPhone is washing out the incredible Orange color of the GMT hand. Andrew gave me permission to post his pictures which capture it better. His are the non wrist shots. I apologize but I haven't been able to post multiple pictures from my photo library at a time.

Thanks again Ken for helping me find this beautiful vintage piece and for giving it your stamp of approval. Also, thanks for pointing me to your Vintage go to guy Andrew Shear! Russell. |

Thanks Flávio! I've been drawn to vintage for awhile but it is not something I wanted to just jump into. I'll say it again. Ken was a huge help in the decision making process. His great examples are also what set the spark to the kindling as well. |
