A recent pick up, the "grail watch 2"

I had my watchmaker remove the "Grail Watch" printing from the inside of the caseback glass. I knew I was doing that before I bought it LOL. He used acetone and had if off in 30 seconds. So I guess it's now a modified watch

Hope to get some better pictures sometime soon when the weather is better outside.

Nice, I've always liked FM watches.

That’s very different from the FM models I’m used to seeing. Classical good looks.

They are a tribute to a watch FM produced in the 1990's.

From the good old days.
