Shaun:

Yes, these old Abercrombies are great chronographs and you have built an amazing collection of them. The recently-acquired Seafarer is a special one -- a rare execution that looks great and wears well.

I'm wearing an Abercombie today . . . second one on the bottom row . . . just a plain old V72 chronograph.

Best wishes for 2015!!

Jeff

: I got this watch in the last days of 2014 but definitely the
: highlight of the year for me. It is a quick and dirty photo with
: the iPad (surprisingly good macro camera) which doesn't do
: justice to the watch, which is beautiful. I love the 2444
: reference, it is the true father of the Carrera, so I have tried
: to collect the main 2444 variations. I also love Heuer's watches
: for Abercrombie & Fitch, which I also have tried to collect
: a "few" of them. So this one was a big hole in both
: collections and probably the rarest 2444 and one of the rarest
: A&F variations. So I was really, really delighted to buy it, and
: I just love the watch "in the metal', it's even better than
: it looks in photos.

: I know it is a watch forum, but a little OT is fun occasionally so
: here are some other top 2014s:

: - best film: Interstellar (I was a bit ambivalent as it is a bit of
: poor man's 2001, but still I loved the scale and ambition)

: - best new music: The band War on Drugs' new album "Lost in
: the Dream"; a new band but I urge anyone who loves classic
: rock to buy it, for me it is like Bruce Springsteen and Tom
: Petty's sons formed a band with 2014 sensibilities...really
: amazing

: - best concert: Prince's "guerilla" performance at the
: Roundhouse in London, played all his hits in a tiny venue and
: was not in his annoying diva/contrary phase

: - best art exhibition: Amselm Kieffer at the RA; I didn't rate him
: till I saw the exhibition. Spectacular.

: - best moment: Arsenal winning the FA Cup. Here's a pic I took at
: the victory parade (I was at the match as well):

: ..and as it is a watch forum, it's only fair to end with a wrist
: shot from the victory parade...
