All,

This one just came across my bench today. I think it is a beaut, and I wanted to share it. I don't recall ever having my hands on one before.

The case is original to the watch, with all the right engraving. 12-hour, double-sunk Montgomery dial is not perfect, but pretty good. Wish it was mine.

Doug, very impressive pictures too. You must be a great photographer with a very good camera! What are you using?

I have an Olympus 5050, 5.0 megapixels. That picture was sent at its second lowest resolution, by popular demand! I use 800 watts of photo flood bulbs shining through two clear acrylic fluorescent diffuser panels, one on each side of the camera. I have the camera set at super close up, and I use a mini tripod. I set the camera on the timed shutter.
