Here are a few pics of a Seamaster CK 2937-1: A purchase I made on New Year's Day after falling in love with the patina on the hour indices. And those curvaceous lugs. Not a Ranchero, although certainly resembling it. What do you all think? PS. Apologies ...  

Thanks Tony

Hello Ruffian! Beatiful Seamaster you share here. It´s interesting to note the similarity of dial with the Railmaster. Very nice indeed with those patinated indexes.

Regarding the rotated pictures (which have already been corrected by FabR) I can tell you that it is due to an incompatibility between photo format in I Phone shots and our WPS system. Fortunately it is very easy to rotate the pictures when you load them....  

Ah, I didn't see those three lines on the top left corner.

Only crazy people go crazy over patina!

Thanks for the reminder about ref 2937, Ruf - it had fallen off my radar . . .

. . . when it should've been a prime target all along. It's back on my search list now. Appreciatively, Art

I've pretty much conceded the Railmaster quest . . .

. . . but a Seachero would be the next best substitute. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous example, Erich. Admiringly, Art

Me too!

Not a fan of portmanteaus but I do love the watch!
