    Default A cherished one returns to the fold

    This one returned to the collection on Monday and has been on my wrist ever since:





    This is a custom Speedy that I put together back in 2006 and was my second project watch (PW2). The movement came out of an early 80's "beater" given to me by a friend:





    Unfortunately I sold it in 2008 to help fund the Explorer II and have grieved ever since. Fortunately, the purchaser has graciously allowed me to have him back.

    My new LiquidMetal Planet Ocean and GMT IIc must be wondering what happened. They've sat on the winder since Monday. "PW2? What's a PW2?", they must be asking.

    Very nice! Listen, if the PO is feeling neglected, I'll be happy to offer up a foster-wrist. Just a suggestion...

    That's one fine franken Fr. John! Broad arrow hands look great with the aluminum bezels.
    Can you help me fix my watch?..Where does this: go inside this?: I guess that's what I get for buying it on eBay!!!
