Independents

All is well in Western Australia Robin, enjoying life and playing lots of golf.

The covid has so far avoided us with 9 persons having succumbed to it for a population of 2.5 million.
Kind of similar to Singapore with 29 people passing over a population of almost 6 million. Life in WA
is very much as it was before the big shenanigan. We basically only had 4 weeks "shut down" in April.
Wishing you a very agreeable festive season.
Cheers, Francois

Question: does winding take a lot of effort? Huge balance wheel like that presumably means a movement that has to put out a lot of torque which presumably means a pretty heavy duty mainspring.

Thanks ! Winding is normal

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 16th, 2020-16:21
Feels the same as other manual winding watches in general

very nice watch robin :-)

Whenever we meet

Really like the look of this one...

 
 By: mdg : December 16th, 2020-10:38
...especially the great hands. Will have to track him down next time I'm in Japan. Balance wheel could be bigger, though : )

Yes the hands are lovely :)

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 16th, 2020-16:28
Balance wheel the bigger the nicer

Outstanding watch and photos, Robin!

 
 By: M4 : December 16th, 2020-15:33
How long was your wait for the watch? Thanks, M4

Thank you M4 !

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 16th, 2020-16:28
I waited almost 3 years

That's a while but worth it in the end. Thank you.
