Mike, you know… You're the best. Thanks so much for this beautiful trio of photos—so Cazalean with their natural backgrounds.
It's difficult to appreciate this particular piece until it's on the wrist for a time. At first, one mostly notices all twelve numerals. But then it becomes obvious that it relays the hour, minute, and even second in amazing detail. Those hands just pop in any light. Yes, it's funky. But there's simply nothing else like it. (Or is there? Perhaps we should start some sort of thread along those lines.)
What I'm thinking at the moment is how the contrast of the electric blue shows the hour/minute more immediately than even a dive watch does, with large hands and big dot or triangle indices. For reading the hour MARKER is actually an extra step along the way to interpreting the time. Whereas on the '003, one's eye immediately registers the shape of the two principal hands, and that shape is something that goes way-way back in our early learning. Big hand straight up; little hand west of 6, but not so far as due west (nine o'clock) must be 8:00 pm. And it's uncanny to me how immediately that registers. Perhaps you've a better way of explaining the phenomenon I'm trying to identify…
I notice this every time I take the '003 out for a spin. "Gad!" I think."I don't even need to read the watch face, it somehow just connects directly to my brain!" Have a good week. We'll be back in the 60s as we usher in the month of May.
Happy Easter to all WPS enthusiasts!
Possibly the finest easter-egg blue you'll ever find… the JDM 120 Anniversary limited ed. issue SBGW003. Spring has finally come to Iowa; it's 80 degrees here today! Regards to all. FH ...

Thank you, sir! This cordial web of like-minded enthusiasts that stretches to include the entire planet (there must be someone who signs on from Antarctica now and then)
is a haven from disaster and misery that communications places on our screens daily. How did the winter go in Sweden? Ours was unusually turbulent, with a record low just one day before my birthday in January. (I wanted that record!) It was chilly on the ...
