Vintage-Warning: No Royal Oak Content

That should scare off most...
Just received this in the mail today.

Stainless steel case, signs of polishing, dial slightly less than perfect. Elegant and thin, completely opposite it's new owner...
Must say I have a weakness for the cushion case, although this one doesn't have a round face. Also love high-end watches that are low in demand (and therefore low priced!)
Kinda have to watch the second hand move to avoid confusing it with the minute hand. But I have a feeling I'll get used to it!

Heh, heh, yeah. Not going to Clearwater with this one. Any competent watchmaker can tackle this one. Now if it were Royal Oak, that would be a Clearwater Express.

Timeless classic dress watch. I love the vintage stuff from the Trinity Plus (plus being old IWC as number four).
Thanks for sharing! Much as I respect the Royal Oak, I like to see vintage non-RO even more!
