Rotary have just released this model which can be had for about £70 in the UK, kind of looks familiar doesn't it?
I'll pick mine up today!

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..........

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? |

There is, that crown turns the sliderule. Stef |

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

I think some of the Sinn ones use the same method don't they? Stef |
