Just when you thought it was safe....
....to go back in the water.
So, I've been approached by @Aurelian who has kindly donated this little chap to the charity cause. Its current winging it's way from the US of A to blighty.
Once it arrives I'll give it a few days at the spa and the hope is that, once its refurbishment is complete, we can auction it off for charity.
It would be good if we could get some ideas on what charity we could support this time.

The lovely @Deeperblue has suggested I create a watch with a musou black dial and look to auction that also. I just have to find a suitable victim/candidate and remortgage the house to buy a pot of musou black paint.

Can always try Black 3.0 instead of Musou. Still expensive mind you — I have the mirrorest mirror paint, which I am itching to try on a dial myself at some point. Stuart Semple.
Beautiful numerals, look forward to seeing your work. Charity nomination: www.directrelief.org
That’s a fun little piece, looking forward to the before and after shots.
I’m a little bit of a hippie at heart and though I do believe helping people has immense need, I just want to plant more trees, because they’re kinda awesome and last quite a while.

An interesting vintage! I'm sure you will work your magic. Can it only be worn by hairy wristed individuals?

As far as I'm concerned, it can be worn by a xoloitzcuintli, a grizzly arse bear and everything in between... as long as they give plenty to our chosen charity. 😁
