Great Looking Family / A Question / Olive Drab Guy
In Response To: SCAN DAY: 80's L family *PIC* ()


that's a great looking family . . . so now we know why you proposed this Family Photo scan day, as you have been assembling this fine looking family.

my question is on the relative scarcity of the 510.403 (square-shaped guy)? how many of our readers own these / crave these / etc.? In my view, it's a great looking chrono, but I have never even come close to finding one of these.

in your honor, I'm wearing the one that's missing from your family (for the moment), the Olive Drab guy. Over the last two or three months, this one probably has more wrist-time than any other watch in my collection . . . some days, I just can't stand to take it off to switch to another watch. So I'm not offering it, but wanted to share it with our readers.

thanks for the great opening to this Scan Day.

Jeff
