Happy Lunar New Year!

Been busy and not sure what the rest of 2013 has in store but am hopeful things will get better :) A happy lunar new year to folks who pass by this way and do enjoy the time with friends and family. Valentine's also finished yesterday. Hope you all had a romantic and happy time on the occasion.

As part of the lunar greetings... 2 moon watches say hi, separated by 50+ years and both wonderful timepieces

a difference noted was the shape of the lugs. more obvious in the pic above, apart from some other minor changes through the 50 years :)

Gong Xi Fa Cai to you and your family Raphael. All the best for the year of the snake.

Amazing how timeless this watch can be. I have been learning more and more about the moonwatch and I am being impressed by it more and more.

What's even more amazing is that you can pick up a new one for a descent price (considering where some of these Swiss watch prices are heading) or a vintage one for a descent price as well. Either way, you get a little piece of history and an iconic watch on your wrist.

50 years from now, when I'm old and wrinkled, I will still be able to wear a moonwatch and it will still be as timeless then and it is today.
