Hi folks,

have a nice sunday!

Here we go with some pics.
Sorry for the low quality, but yesterday bbq ended, well, errmhhh, 15 minutes ago...
Little hangover here...

We have the two rolexes, the Hamilton and a piece I forgot to mention before: a Driva Chrono from the 40ies, marked and sold by "Cuervo Y Sobrinos, Habana".

I hope to have posted pics in the right way!
Going back to coffee and aspirin, now...

It was the question I was going to ask, after reading of the Sir Hillary's story.

My watch is a small one, in silver, with "Smith and Son, Trafalgar Square" on the dial and "Watchmakers to the Admiralty" on the movement.

I bought it several years ago for some 30 dollars from a guy in London.

It is not a Rolex, but, hey, it's a fine piece of a timekeeper.
Now it's sleeping in the bank, but I'll post pics as soon as I can!

If you need advice in planning your trip (hope it's a vacation one!) don't be afraid to ask.

We have plenty of places to visit, down here!
