: You see, the watch in question isn't in the book. It close cousin
: in gold-plate is, and that's what I photographed it against
: here. I'd already admired the 110.255 in the book and how
: various details differed from the 1153 predecessor but the

: absolutely pristine condition. So the next time I saw one I had
: to have it, although the condition is nowhere near that of
: Arno's. Still, it's a nice watch and a bit different from most
