2 1 for Holland!

And yes, of course it was a penalty! :-)
As I'm supporting Holland in this World Cup, tonight I'm wearing my home modified Heuer Autavia.
I swapped the black, white & red dial for a black & orange one and the steel/red hands were replaced with bright orange :-)
Max made me up an orange and black loom band bracelet also.
Anyway, seems to have done the trick as Holland are through to the next round.

The Gamble!

Took a risky shot on a German auction last week.
Photos were rubbish and the info slightly inaccurate but there was something telling me it could be a wee bit special and sure enough it is :-)
Clear the dirt away and there is what must be one of the cleanest Tranny dials still around.
I'm delighted and for now not even bothered about the later hands.

 

 

SEIKO 6138-0030

Pretty impressed with this bargain.
And, not that far away in style from a Tranny Monaco - seriously, metallic blue dial, 30 minute/12 hour chrono - just rotate the dial 90 degrees :-)
Another cool feature is the day in English or Arabic.
Oh and did I mention the quick-set date?

 

 

 

 

I've missed this fella!

Normal, everyday life just seems to get in the way of me wearing my Heuers so much these days.
For around 6 months now I've worn my Bremont 99% of the time.
With kids, cars, bikes, a dog and fun on the beach, I just get too nervous.
Anyway this evening's different and I've gone for the McQueen :-)
