Fast-Paced Ancestor -- Six Seconds per Lap


here's another one that gets around the track pretty fast -- six seconds per lap. This one also has split-second function.

: Who says you can't find anything good on Ebay
: anymore? Got this gem a few weeks ago. I
: really liked it due to the racing nature of
: the piece and I had never seen one before so
: the bidding was on.
: The black plastic case is about 4.5" x
: 2.25". The two watches are smaller than
: the normal Heuer models we usually see. The
: silk screening on the right one is slightly
: different than the other as can be seen in
: the winged Indy Logo.
: I think this piece must have been a general
: sale item at the track due to the small
: watches and hard plastic case.
: I posted a while back about another 3 second
: sweep stopwatch I own, and this one is cool
: with dual watches. Man, do those hands whip
: around when started. You can really see how
: long a second actually is.
: All in all, a very interesting piece.

: PS. I'll admit I do think I over sharpened it a
: tad while post post processing.
