One could think the minute hand is not original ...
... but on the other hand it is so different looking compared to the hour hand, that it should be original. Have not seen such combination before.
It is a replacement minute hand, Count . . .
. . . but relatively well matched. I don't mind wearing it as is until an original can be found. Best, art
Brings back vivid memories . . .
. . . of a film classic, too. I was ten when the local theater showed The Dambusters . The special effects were spellbinding. Art
I love that film....
Along with 633 squadron, The Longest Day and many others. Thanks Art.
A great piece - vintage or new vintage :)
You really have some true gems in your collection, Art!
