nice (and good to see a genuine ref. 178), congrats !

Thanks Fred


I had been looking for one for a while in good shape then this one came along. It is off to the spa in a couple days. Fred do you think a steel mesh bracelet would look OK!

Thanks for the info Fred

here u go, Rick. not bad actually, good for the 100+ temperatures we have (Vienna has been among the hottest spots in Europe since early July, 95 feels cool). stays on the wrist.

Fred Sounds a little too hot for me. We here in Mass are dealing with the low 70's. Almost too cool for this time of year.
Steel mesh looks good, will give it a try. Thanks for the posting.

best Rick

OK, so don't tell anyone that I said this, but that looks good on mesh.

Rick, great piece and in untouched condition becoming increasingly rare.

Thanks Roff for your Honesty. I like the mesh also!!!!!
