Clock know to man !

: I'm calling this one the Jody, in honour of Jody Scheckter. He
: definitely wore a Camaro, as pictured in a great photo in Arno's
: book. It probably wasn't a gold camaro, as in the (B&W) photo it
: is on an early style GF bracelet. I haven't ever seen a GF
: bracelet in gold, so it was probably steel. But I'm calling this
: one the Jody as he was South African, and so the gold connection
: makes sense.
: I think g*ld chronos are frowned upon in this forum usually, but
: hope some of you will enjoy this new arrival, from the Haslinger
: auction. And I hope Abel will appreciate the cuff links, they
: were hand made by my grandfather using the design from a South
: African stamp (and South African gold). He was a dentist, rather
: than a jeweller, but he was a master craftsmen in working gold,
: so when not making gold dental work, he made some jewellery. The
: cuff links are pretty large (bling was not just from the 90's)
: and the Camaro is elegantly small, so a nice contrast in sizes.
: I love the new arrival, it is pretty understated for a solid gold
: watch, and it is a perfect 70's icon.
