Does anyone else wear a wacky watch such as this? I was presented with it over 20 years ago when I worked in the engine parts industry. The sweep second hand (at about 8 o’clock) is a piston. Keeps excellent time and is my daily wear, even though Mrs P says it’s a bit naff. She nicked my Mondaine. The chap who changes the battery says it has an excellent movement.
My apologies for not having hairy arms like other posters.

This beauty came with an exhaust upgrade in 2001 when I owned an Aprilia Mille R. Very odd.

That’s lovely. I’d much rather see a watch and smile rather than gasp in admiration or envy.

Comex is surely king of the ‘company branded’ Rolex models?

Send me a message with your address & I’ll post it to you gratis...it’s not working but I’m sure it’ll just need a battery.
