WS for Week of 13th Feb - Your oldest watch...

Feb 15, 2017,08:21 AM
 

Hi Weekly Wristscanners!


I was thinking of doing something to match the winter weather, but then while typing this the sun came out and the sky has gone blue (OK, it is still only 5 degrees outside).   

So then rethought the idea...  How about the oldest watch in your collection... this could be the oldest (in age since production) or the watch you have owned the longest.

To go with todays ray of light... how about this one?   



(The lugs look like an early prototype for the Zenith Aeroneuf)

See you on Friday!

Cheers
Andrew

.....according to the extract of archives. The hands have been awfully relumed (before my possession), so this one is still pending to see at some point my watchmaker. Cheers, HSTE ...
