I still think of it as Madras, too. But... November of '34? The years have been kind, sir!

I can't read the name on the dial - what kind of watch is that Adam? I love it!

Thanks Dave, it's a Gammeter, a Swiss company with roots in India that was also the Rolex AD in Singapore and Malaya from 1936 to 1950. Full story and pix here if you're interested: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=483355

Wow, very interesting! I had completely missed that thread somehow. I like it even more now. It cleaned up very well, and I love the look of the dial. Good stuff!
