Thx for your nice words & encouragement !.. Thus, find below my Futurematic, "Porthole".. Love her also.. Cheers !! :)

Looks great
Hi Looks great - the Porthole models are a bit special. As you say - mine still feels kind of contemporary despite being 60 odd years ols. Thats no mean achievement for a any watch. Cheers JML
Indeed, yours has a really timeless design.. A sober, but classic face, also with the nice applied indices plus a nice size, as well..
Also love the two subdials with the red accent for the PR @ 9.. Thus, really a very fine watch.. Not more, no less... Best & HAGWE, again ! hs

Of course I thought that you would bend the rules :-) Best, Mike

The original "Apple watch"...curious if you've been getting
any questions like " hey which Apple watch is that?" when you wear it out and about. Cheers, Mike
Too small to be mistaken for the Apple watch...
but once I explain, people see the resemblance. Thanks Mike!
