Thanks. For me the Bubble skeleton is the ultimate Bubble. Because of the effect on the movement. Also because of this Corum worked very hard on the in-house built and fully PVD's 2892. they even managed to work their Corum key logo into the movement.Above the barrel.
They are getting hard to find.

Wow. Very, very nice. I'd noticed their emblem in the movement before. That's a great detail.

A local jeweler (Topper) has a Jolly Rodger Bubble that I'm trying very hard not to buy. :p It can't touch your skeleton though. Yours is a piece of art.

There are some serious timepieces in this thread! Not everyday you see two 1655's in one collection!

The 168000 spent 17 years in my top drawer. In 2008 I looked for advice on where to have it serviced and found TRF. Thanks to your recommendations, I sent it to Bob Ridley and she's as good as new. The Seiko was my 24/7/365 rig for several years until I saw Marathons here. I think they are an extremely good value and I've been very satisfied with my GSAR. Tritium tubes are lume deluxe! I don't post much as my actual watch knowledge is miniscule but I enjoy hanging out and learning from the members here. Thanks!

I think this is my favorite thread on TRF since joining. THANK YOU for sharing your collections!!!!!! (A picture of my single 214270 doesn't merit inclusion--maybe next year!).
