Remember our deal, Drew... :tap:

In the meantime, enjoy it. ;)

PS - Here's a bit of trivia for you heathens: Dr. O developed the annual calendar by adding just 9 pieces to the venerable 7750; a movement that was chosen for its relatively high torque, which was required to run the date discs (yes, the monopusher operates the chronograph, which consists of the second hand and a 30 minute totaliser visible through the window on the case back).

POS - Also, those numbers on the backside of the buckle are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the Musee Industree Horologique.

It's 06:30 on the east coast and this is an incredibly wonderful thing to wake up to! Lots of
new things at DWC lately and this is at the head of the class.

Congratulations, Drew. Such a masterpiece.
