I love them all, and although I'd love a 5508, there is something about the 7922 face that I love - and thats the subtle way all the writing and Tudor rose always appear nicely 'faded' (if thats the correct word). More descreet, just waiting to be noticed by the purists!
That is a very special model you have.
And I'd never thought about the connection of the small/large crown 100m/200m connection before - thanks for that extra piece of education!!
Great post, lovely photos as usual.
cheers Tony
(I've been quiet recently - after trip to Le Mans 24hr, I had business in Houston and Qatar, just getting back into normal life now, and catching up with the Purists posts!!)
