Kind of a tribute to Graham
So it seems I have very similar taste in watches--at least in displays--to our esteemed gmhutton. Soon after he got his Seiko Burger, I got one. Soon after he got his Azimuth Spaceship watch, I got one. And when I read recently of his acquisition of the Carlo Ferrara Dancing Regulator, I knew I had to have one too. Now I do.
In keeping with my preference for all bracelets, all the time, I got an older Sport model, on a stainless steel bracelet, with all Arabic numerals and an eggshell (CF calls it "sand") dial. It even has great green lume on the tips of the hands, though I have yet to become comfortable with telling the time from being able to see only the hand tips.
Attached are some pictures, courtesy of the seller. In my continuing quest, thank you Graham, for interesting displays, I now wish I could afford one of the newer Urwerks!

Congrats!
Graham has a wonderful collection, and I always appreciate when he shares his watches with unique time displays. Seems you have similar tastes in eccentric displays -- that's awesome! Enjoy your new watch! Cheers, Daos

Bubbles is a nice name..
Hi Graham, Bubbles is a nice name... Any old Australian Purists.... I don't think there are too many though... but if they are they might remember the Rodeo Shows that travelled the country each year in the 1950s and 60s... and there was this adult tent t...
Bubbles is also a good name for a mermaid ...
And I am not saying which tent flaps I peeked under. A

i approve wholeheartedly SJX and the original pics of this inspired me to go for the Wittnauer 60's original. the Jean D'eve has a more fluid case shape and is a very good modern interpretation of the Wittnauer. best Graham...
Base movement
This CF is really an amazing watch. But it seem that the case back/rotor resemble an ETA movement. So what is the base movement of thiswatch if it is not a "in-house" CF movement?
