I took some pictures...

...and thought I'd share. As it is, I'm usually too lazy to whip the camera from out of the bag in that dark corner of my house. But I reckon this watch deserved the effort. 


Hope everyone is having a great weekend smile

What year is this watch? 80’s? I have never seen a hand carved/made wheel like the one on the barrel spring. You can absolutely tell it’s done by hand like the rotor engraving. This AP is amazing and it would never be done like this today, and I mean that... 

its a 25668ba - almost certainly from 90s

94 were made in yg and 154 of almost identical ref 25558ba ..only difference later one had integrated pushers (little better design and most moisture resistance)

Is that gear on the barrel spring real hand carved like that or is the way the picture is taken?
