Added to OTD: Skipper 15640 2nd Gen

Thanks for the beautiful photos and the blog posting. Yes, these do seem to be rare. We usually think of the blue versions of the Skipper, but it does look strong in black!!

I have added this one to OnTheDash, HERE.

: I've finally got around to blogging this one. I've had it a while,
: but just never got around to it. For some strange reason it was
: a real pig to photograph. My 'hit rate' of good-to-bad photos
: isn't great at the best of times, but I tried shooting this 4
: times recently!
: Anyway, they came out half decent in the end.

: So, this is the so called '2nd Gen' 15640, as there were 3 models
: that Heuer decided to call 15640, which is a bit confusing.

: The 1st Gen: 11630 case, blue dial & bezel.
: 2nd Gen: 11630 Gloss black dial & bezel.
: 3rd Gen: 11063 cased version.

: Maybe I've not been looking in the right places, but these seem to
: be fairly thin on the ground, anyone else got one?
