路.... and I mean that literally. Remember that I said I would receive my UG triple calendar moonphase today? Here it is:
馃檨 Yep, I didn't get it because Jesse bailed at the last minute because of some electrical issues at home. So what was I going to do? Well, I could tell you but showing you is even better.
Had my loupe on me so the dial checked out perfectly. The case has the twisted lugs like a Speedmaster (dig those), the crown and caseback still have the logos (dig both those things too), and it's bee running flawlessly since this afternoon. A Polerouter with a microrotor has been on my list for over 3 years, but I just couldn't find the right combination of this chapter ring, a crosshair original dial, and the crown + casback logos intact. Now I can cross that one off. 馃憤
Oh, and now the Corum is gone. That was traded as part of the deal.
How about some shots of UG guts?
It has a caliber 215-1. I'll find out the details on what year and such soon. The crystal has a few scuffs and scratches but that'll get cleaned up when I have it serviced. The dial is fantastic under there.
So, who did come then? David (jacquot) showed up for a short period at the rendezvous point. He went out of his way to drop by for only a half hour. Greg (RJ007 or GJH), Windy, and I went around to a few shops - some of them with INSANE, LUDICROUS, CRAZY asking prices (as in a normal blue & silver dialed Dynamic for $2500!!!), others with reasonable items. Duane (sportsguy) and Susan (IKE) met us at Stage Diner for a bite later on.
From left to right: me, Greg, Duane, and Susan (Windy took the pic).
Here's Duane's 45.5 mm PO on my wrist:
Boy, did I look like a little kid wearing dad's watch! 馃槣
Greg was wearing his Sky Chief:
Windy had on her TAG, and Susan had on her usual black & gold quartz watch - but I'm embarassed to say I don't remember what it is despite it being interesting. I have a pic of it somewhere so I'll try to dig it up.
All in all, a damn good day!
