Great Report / So Many Questions
In Response To: A weekend with the Moose clan at Edisto Island, SC ()

Sam:

Thanks for the great report!! Great to see the people and the watches!!

Among the many questions:


  • what can you tell us about the Jaeger-LeCoultre? what year? how many produced? and what about the red numerals? are they to warn not to adjust the calendar, as this is when the gears are engaged for the change? and what about the "06" in the window on the upper right? are you two years behind or do these numbers indicate something other than the year?

  • what are the plans for Jan's PP? you mentioned that you are not satisfied with the refinished dial. will you replace or refinish, again? what era is this one from?

  • finally, did the chickens survive the evening, or were they served as the main course? I assume that they were merely socializing; can you confirm?


Thanks for this great report and the photos.

Jeff
