. . . back in my collection. Retrieved from my watchmaker yesterday. Movement overhauled, new crystal and crown . . . and on my wrist thru the weekend. Is 'new vintage' . . . . . . an oxymoron? ;-) ...  

One could think the minute hand is not original ...

... but on the other hand it is so different looking compared to the hour hand, that it should be original. Have not seen such combination before.

It is a replacement minute hand, Count . . .

. . . but relatively well matched. I don't mind wearing it as is until an original can be found. Best, art

If only it could tell you …

. . . of a film classic, too. I was ten when the local theater showed The Dambusters . The special effects were spellbinding. Art

I love that film....
