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 grounds.

Some of us went out for a hike and then hot cocoa this afternoon - I wore this watch, to pair with these low temperatures

Had to stop to snap this WS with the high contrast dial against a grey and mild background !

What are you wearing today, friends?

WARM regards to all,

Omega Speedmaster Alaska Project

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

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, though! And nice to have to wear a hat and gloves for the first time in several years (at least when I'm in HK).

Anyway, that Alaska Project is pretty darned cool...looks great on you!

Best

E.

Thanks for looking, E!
warm regards

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!

and at PP too

Not one seen often - thanks for sharing

I guess the temperature was not bad enough for the 'full set' application

thanks for looking my friend!

So even if the next ice age hits, you're good Wonder what that will do for Alaska resale values in such a case

Have a great week ahead!

. . . although it has more in common with Brazil . . .

. . . than Alaska.

. . . much closer to Alaska than Brazil ;-) . . .

. . . yes!  One of 500 made for the RCAF during the war, and with the 18 jewel count version of the 30T2SC movement, no less . . .

. . . the outer?  Or possibly, both? 

David should be able to provide images of the external back of the case.

. . . 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!

I understand that not all military were engraved.

It's a beautiful watch, by all counts.

Congratulations and enjoy the cold.
