Project Kingston

[Steve356]

I like "self-winding" a lot more than "automatic". it's something different and conjures up images of those cool early Tudors.

Kingston always reminds me of this little dittie
eds

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare, my heart is there
Tho' I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackey rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year

But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Kingston in Jamaica is a dump. It conjours images of shanty towns, not tropical beaches.

Kingston, Canada is, however, a cool dive location

Gerard, that looks nice. I would really like the self-winding to be on the bottom like on the Tudors.

You are thinking a dial like this, but with less script perhaps:



And for a case-back something like this, but with the S/N stamped in:

I see a case back like that and first thought I have is - I saw that look on a $15 fleamarket dive watch.
All I hope for is Bill making the final cut an undecorated oyster back and leave any markings on its inside. Case back markings trap dirt (yes, even micro dirt you would not see) that can cause wear and even skin irritation with time.
