Yep, I reckon Al has a rare gem of a watch there ;-)

I like the the retro look of the angular case and bracelet and I love the fact that he's got the automatic movement inside.

It is indeed an automatic, bought from our own Stuart (arttay10) here a few years ago.

Here's are some photos of Bob Ridley redoing it for me:
