I see this lovely scenery day as I'm in Prestwick. Looks like you're in Troon, right?

And a lovely Seiko too!

Perhaps it's so long in order to wear over a 'diving' suit?
I could be wrong of course.

Not too far. The grounds of the Seamill hydro.

Yes, but for 99% of those who do not dive it seems like a strange decision to make it so long.

Lovely ! I really like that version. Probably the best diver that Bremont does and the strap looks fantastic

My first Tuna

Wysłane z mojego STV100-4 przy użyciu Tapatalka

**willie_gunn** · 24th April 2018, 17:04

Just arrived.

A JW Benson that - judging by the hallmarks on the Dennison case - dates from around 1950:

A quick application of Polywatch removed the worst of the superficial scratches on the crystal, and underneath that the dial appears to be in very good condition for what is almost a 70 year old watch. The applied gold numerals are nice and bright and the dial printing remains crisp. The 9ct case is also in smart order, but overall it will clearly benefit from some TLC and a service. That said, what I believe is a variant of the Cyma 162 calibre is ticking away very nicely.

A new strap is clearly called for, though at 15mm and with fixed bars the options appear to be somewhat limited. Anyone know of a good custom maker?

Although small by modern standards it sits very elegantly on the wrist, and the lozenge shaped case is a new departure from the norm for me.

I'll now have to keep my eyes open for a period JW Benson box!

**learningtofly** · 24th April 2018, 19:04

Literally just handed over in a quick face to face amidst refurb chaos - a 1960 birth year Ingy 666. I've been after one of these for a few years now, and I have to say that this one is a beauty; the fact that it's also my birth year is the icing on the cake.

Better set it now...

I can see why you would have been searching for such a watch, and that looks like a lovely example.

Very nice indeed!

Lovely Tony. It looks in much better condition than you

Went in to buy the white dial one but left with the black dial :)

The black dial looks so much better in person, when the light catches it has a nice matte finish and the markers are a lot nicer, i really didn't like the black surrounds on the white dial markers.

Anyhow...

Lovely watch and my favourite Rolex I have ever owned. If it was 40mm it would have been a keeper.

Rightly so; It’s a beautiful watch... I think one could build an interesting collection around both vintage and contemporary anti-magnetic watches... Milgauss, anti-mag Grand Seikos, Railmaster, etc.

You could indeed.

**mondie** · 25th April 2018, 20:26

I much prefer the white Exp2 in the smaller case, but in this maxi case the white dial looks OTT and I prefer the black. Good choice

**gregory** · 25th April 2018, 20:30

Cheap as chips @ £73 (including delivery from over Russia way).....

PMSL - and I was going to post that I was scanning the page and the first thing that got my eye was I thought 'that looks like Tony's wrist, I wonder what watch he's posting' - how frightening is that?

Great pick up Tony.
