Nothin' Like a Little Snow in May!

Just returned from my watchmaker and picked up my snowflake w/ new seals, top hat plex crystal, bezel insert, and full service. The new crystal and insert make it look brand new but I kept the originals just in case I want to return to the aged patina vibe.
We're having a huge party tomorrow and my "honey do" list is a mile long so no proper pics until I have a chance early next week. But here's a sneak peak.

Phil,
The hour markers as well as the angular hour, minute and second hands constitute the "snowflake" monikor.

Thanks again, everybody. I'm so stoked to have this back on my wrist.

Beautiful watch, Dan! When I saw your post title, I was going to say I thought KY's weather was better than Ohio's. We're looking at a frost next week. You can't plant your darned tomatoes till June around here. Where's the global warming?
