RCAF ref 2242! . . .
. . . much closer to Alaska than Brazil ;-) . . .
Cold weather? Perfect!
Dear Friends It would seems that we are in middle of some record low temperatures in the north with lots of severe weather warnings/ blizzard and floodings ; We in Hong Kong are experiencing the coldest weather in 59years (so far!) with icing in high grou...
You picked the perfect watch for the day!
Freezing cold, together with wind and rain is not something we are use to dealing with here, unlike your Alaska! I went with something really warm to keep the blood flowing. cheers fernando ...
Easy to get my blood pumping with this one ! :P
interesting times these few days ! best regards -- Seeks
Nice!
Well, I\'m somewhere in that photo, but I didn\'t wear *any* watches today. Only time I went out was to get to the supermarket to buy fixings for dinner when Mrs E made it clear that I had better run some errands ;-) - it was actually quite pleasant out, ...
How true! it is rather pleasant, to go out to enjoy the cold crisp air for a change :)
Thanks for looking, E! warm regards -- Seeks
Too cold for me today!
Nice one on Lugard Road! I can see my apartment too... In fact I have only a short stroll up The last section of Old Peak Road but the only watches I was trying on today were in the warmth of Pacific Place!
Lovely Alaska!
Not one seen often - thanks for sharing I guess the temperature was not bad enough for the \'full set\' application
At least you are prepared for much worse
So even if the next ice age hits, you\'re good Wonder what that will do for Alaska resale values in such a case
Nico - you wrote quite a bit on this Watch
Thank you for that Have a great week ahead!
Also wearing an Omega presently . . .
. . . although it has more in common with Brazil . . . . . . than Alaska. ...
Absolutely, positively . . .
. . . yes! One of 500 made for the RCAF during the war, and with the 18 jewel count version of the 30T2SC movement, no less . . .
Do you mean the inner caseback, or . . .
. . . the outer? Or possibly, both? David should be able to provide images of the external back of the case.
No military engraving that I can recall, Nicolas . . .
. . . but the uncommon movement pins the watch down conclusively, as far as I can tell. Easy to fake a watch; not so easy to fake an 18 jewel count 30T2SC!
There is no engraving on the caseback.
I understand that not all military were engraved. ...
Gorgeous ...
It's a beautiful watch, by all counts. Congratulations and enjoy the cold. Cheers, Nilo
I feel the same, Nilo and was looking for it..
..finally found an OK one from an European dealer Many thanks for kind words!
