Rolex.

My Rolex Oyster "Pioneer", is a very rare model made in 1942 and was much favoured by Canadian and American pilots coming to Europe at the beginning of World War II...They were regarded as medium size watch (about the same size as child's watch nowadays.) and very small compared with todays Rolex models...Regardless, mine has a beautiful aged look with the added bonus of the 24 hour face, mine keeps perfect time, which is what you fully expect from a Rolex regardless of it's age...Mine's is a joy to wear and l keep finding myself looking at it wondering what kind of history it may hold.

The only draw back with them, (including mine.) is that they aren't very waterproof and have to be removed any time you go near water...or even if you look at water...Mine refuses point blank to go out in the rain nowadays :-)

ps. I'm having a bit of a "cull" of so called "friends" later...so if you don't see any of my shots soon going down the line, you will understand why...but it was nice to have met you.

Thank you & Bye :-)
