Welcome back, old friend...

I finally received my Benthos back from Jack after a 10 month stay at the spa :)

I put it on a vintage IsoFrane for now...will wear it for a couple days to see if it will stay.

Some shots:

Cool looking watch. Is the orange hand a chrono or GMT hand?

This is another one of my vintage projects that is now final... It was a year in the making, with a trip to ABC for casework/refinishing and to IWW for a movement service and a dial/hand relume.
