Come on, you act like you've never been trolled. What would have been your first impressions. No regret for my skepticism. Happily it was misplaced.

Hi Beef

Thanks for the heads up. That was exactly what I was wanting to get started, a kind of overview. I had downloaded Cherry-Garrards book last night (seems to be top of most peoples lists) however think I will start with your recommendation before jumping into one particular adventure

Cheers!!

You are quite welcome! You really need to be it into to read that one. It is very long and detailed. But a great read.

Agree, it's regarded as one of the best books; but detailed...

Steve, I know that you have seen the photo of Capt. Scott in his hut before leaving for the Pole. There is a pocket watch/Chrono hanging on a hook in the background. He probably didn't wear a wristwatch, since this was pre-WW I. Wristwatches didn't come into common use until then. It would be interesting if that pocket watch was a Wilsdorf.....

Great post, I love your watches and the story of Scott of the Antarctic had a great impact on me as a young boy. I have that Ladybird book somewhere…..

...not that long yet. Keep posting some pictures. Please. We all love them.

It turned out to be one of the most interesting posts, giving us something different than the classic wrist shot. Thank You

Agree, the Prince is very nice ! Great dress watch. It'll be a part of the new Cellini collection still. That's a good thing.
