Brilliant, Graham...
Hi Graham,
While we have been sleeping down here in the Southern parts you have been very busy! What a great post to ‘wake up’ to. I am very pleased that you found the images and decided to share them with us on PuristSPro.

There is much evidence of design evolution in many of these watches/brands and I can now see the origins of many little design features in current Pilot’s watches.
Thanks
Andrew
