    Looks great with the new strap. Are you keeping it now or will it be going back?

    Keeping it, but it will probably need a service. Any suggestions for a trustworthy watchmaker who can look after an old lady? (The watch is the old lady, just to be clear.)

    If I put an ice cube on the acrylic, there is a noticeable fogging within 30 seconds.

    Have you tried not putting an ice cube on the crystal?
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Insane piece of history right there in that watch

    Sure I have a vintage Breitling green croc on buckle 20mm taper to 18 I think

    Let me have a rummage later and post a pic

    And not wear the watch on my ice-bathing YouTube channel? Madness.

    I noticed the fog when I wore the watch in the rain, and it did the same thing. Watches aren't meant to do that, are they? A service is needed, I think!
