Arriving too late for me to blame Mark following his recent post, my first stopwatch has arrived.

Sorry for the horrid pic, but i'm too excited to wait until I get home. its a beautiful little thing, a 563 which, according to the vendor dates from the '60s, but I think '70's is more likely. Its pristine, with the sticker on the back and with box and papers. There's a real weight to it and there is no doubt that it is a quality bit of kit. Not sure it will be the first of many, but there a few around for the £100/$160 mark and when in this condition, its a bit of fun to add to the watch collection.
