After spending some time with Mr. Ridley my 1655 is better than ever and back on the wrist. The gaping hole in this travel case can now be filled appropriately. HAGWE!

Love the watch holders. Are they Rolex? I have not seen them before.

I purchased the case from a very reputable dealer... thetimetraveler.co (Not .COM)

Very nice straight hand! With just the right amount of patina.
Superb, and live the watch case as well. I have one of the watch rolls from Jed. Cool.

Very nice "frog's foot."

Hulatime · 12 August 2012, 03:21 AM

Fantastic 1655 "post spa treatment"... how did it look "pre-spa visit?" BTW, as others have mentioned, your watch case is very nice but it's contents... WOW!

Kingair · 12 August 2012, 04:23 AM

Mike this is a nice watch

Enjoy it

Beautiful collection Mike!! I'm glad it's back home safe and sound ;)

mikkolopez · 12 August 2012, 10:02 PM

Nice very nice.

goog53 · 13 August 2012, 12:31 AM

Thanks for all the kind words. This has been a good year for me in acquiring a few nice pieces after patiently sitting on the sidelines for so long. I definitely owe the knowledge I've gained to many of the members on this forum and can't thank you guys enough. The great thing about Vintage Pieces is that you never know when they'll come available and when they do I am like a kid on Christmas morning. I keep telling my wife that "This one may not come up again in this condition for a few years and that these can't be bought at some local AD" Lack of supply is the best alibi
