:DThat is hilarious! I don't even mind the looks of the watch. I might even make a bid on it. although even if I got it I don't know when I would wear it. Although, the novelty alone is worth having the watch, even if it only gets worn on rare occasions!
I might do a little more research, on a brand I never even heard of!
Cheers, Carl

Haha another great find by Ian! You really should pick that up, Carl. I mean, it literally has your name on it!

Yeah, I reckon it's a no brainer, even if you don't wear it much how cool is it to have a watched named after you!

Indeed! And the vintage styling seems similar to other watches he either had or was interested in.
I'm amazed also by the fact that I'm discovering new brands or watches several times a week thanks to you, Ian. Never even scratched the surface either it seems as there's so much out there. That's what I like about this hobby too, it never gets old in that sense. There's always something to discover.

Thanks Rommel, I love finding out about all this stuff. There were so many watch brands back in the heyday. It's amazing how many used the same movements. My Fellow Chronograph uses the same Valjoux movement that was in Gallets, Breitlings and the like and came at a Fraction of the cost!

Love it. If the price works I think it's a great idea.

Maybe someone could pick up an oldie with a super movement for next to nothing and have it redialed with a special message.
