Icon10 Welcome new time traveller!
Very honored to host this time traveller of 43 years for an undefined duration...

Different angles and different shades of light reveal all kinds of interesting colors! Hard to capture it on camera, but they are telling the story of its life so far!

Enjoy these shots I took today...

Lovely watch. I like the warmth of the markers and hands and they look immaculate too.

I noted the red lettering and did not even see that it is also a meters first dial. That's very important.

Thank you for sharing!
