Rotary have just released this model which can be had for about £70 in the UK, kind of looks familiar doesn't it?

Hmmmm well, I guess copying is a form of flattery, so perhaps Breitling will be really pleased to see their designs being used as inspiration for some cheap Rotarys. Or then again.......... :wink:

In 1989 my Father retired from a company that he had been working for for over 25 years. He got a Rotary as a retirement gift.

I've wanted to stamp on every one I've ever seen since that point.

The design is somewhat similar, but isn't there a second crown at 10 o'clock?

I see. It feels easier to just do it by hand, but I guess that "complication" can add some curiosity.
