When blue turns to gold !
The dials blue paint has failed dramatically on this 1972 Heuer Silverstone leaving a mottled gold patina.
This phenomenon is a known trait with various blue paints of this era. I replaced the blue bezel with a NOS one to give this watch its dramatic contrast.
Oh, Mr Porter, whatever shall we do...

Congratulations to you and all, hope all are wellNew member of the Foxy household (hence me posting at 4:20am). No, not the Omega, although it did come back to me last week from a trip to see Simon Freese, who did a repair and put the case on a lathe. It had been polished by hand previously (you can't lap these cases, they're front-loading) and didn't look good but Simon told me he could give the case a radial finish by taking off minimal metal. It looks superb, considerably better than the previous soft and uneven finish, and I've been wearing it pretty much since it came back.

Popped into Chichester to switch to a Hirsch Heritage strap.
The car showed 31c, and it felt it. A hot, sultry, weekend coming up.

Pretty confident that this was sufficiently wasserdicht for a dip in the sea.
Having to look after the wife’s Reverso whilst she is in though

Did you really swim in that? I'd be too nervous. Looks a gorgeous place.Looks good on holidays

This from 1985, trying to convince myself that wearing this 3 days a year is a good enough reason to not sell it.
I'm packing for a fishing holiday here:
And tradition demands that these two accompany me.
The GW-5000
and the PRS-18Q
Have as cool a weekend as possible and best wishes to those in hospital and with new babies!
Thanks. The place is amazing indeed and if course Not. I didn't swim on that :-)

Kaltenberg Weiss in King Ludwig’s at Disneyland! (plucking up courage for the epic journey home with kids, cases and a million shopping bags on the Paris underground and beyond...)

No Sir, that's exactly as it came to me, just camera picking up light weirdly I think, as you know titanium is not really that shiney.
Panerai 682 today. I understand the new versions have a solid case back, so maybe this early version will be collectible in a few years

Thanks. No, this is one of the 2013 batch where quite a few Luminova incorrectly stamped T dials slipped through the net. Interestingly there were also a few of the Autos around that time with L incorrectly stamped on Tritium dials.
