What a beautiful watch that is! I love the contrast of the bold hour markers against the delicate sub dial print, and the hands are indeed, hand(some). I've heard or read that the extended 3, 6, 9 minute markers in the minute sub dial were to time the "three minute limit" on pay phone calls. Is that fact, or fiction?

A nice posting, Jeff & Par,... Thank you.

Jim
