Continuing the unusual diver theme we have the G.Gerlach Enigma dedicated to the three Polish mathematicians, Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki, and Henryk Zygalski, who achieved the first major successes by using mathematical and espionage-based techniques to break the German Enigma cipher before World War II began. Their work provided the fundamental principles that the British codebreakers later built upon. An attractive well build watch but beware Gerlach is not renowned for their customer care. 😕

Thanks to al-kaholic, I now have my old O&W Mirage III back into its original case, for which I'm very grateful, and I shall be working with Al to build another 7750 watch into the diver's case that it had been put into, so watch this space. ... .

This for today.

This for a bit now I think.

Hello. Can I ask your advice please.

Is the SMP300 in your photo a 42mm case?

I have been looking at a 2023 42mm SMP300. My wrist is 7.5" and the one i am looking at is sized at 6.75" with one spare link but the seller mentions it has an expandable bracelet. Is this a micro adjustment feature on the latest model?

My 2017 41mm Seamaster bracelet has an extension length (as shown to the left of the clasp) but not micro adjustment

Thanks Chas

Don’t know why. But I have always loved a smooth caseback on a vintage.

Don’t know why. But I have always loved a smooth caseback on a vintage.

Mine is somewhat unusual in that it hasn't been inscribed (personal dedication) and 'polished out' by later owner(s).

Gold TREBEX watches were typically given as long service/retirement gifts by the Stanton Iron Company, then after merging (1960) with Staveley Iron and Chemical Company - becoming Stanton and Staveley.

Personally I'm in favour of keeping personal dedications intact on vintage timepieces, it assists greatly with dating & provenance!
Also, in my experience, gold cased examples are generally to be found in good condition with minimal use/wear.

Wherever my own personal dedicated timepiece ends up?, it is hoped it will be kept intact and enjoyed 🤞 ...

I'm ready for action, with my action watch, my tweed action gilet, and my action slacks!

i would buy one tomorrow if i could presuade me to spend that amount of cash

There's (probably) only three things I like more than a watch, none of which I own : a Fazioli piano, a Ferrari 250 GTO, and a Spitfire. The latter is today's theme.

I’m unsure which of those three would make the nicest sound …such a choice 😀
