First post and pics of new addition

This place is FANTASTIC!!! I love the vintage projects and am posting pics of a recent acquisition. The hands were beautifully aged and the strap is a perfect mate. I just had to start playing with it a bit, so fine-tuned and re-brushed the CG. Still trying to decide whether to go with fixed bars or screw bars... relying on a simple spring bar in the meantime.

Why did you have to post these??? Painful to look at as I just recently sold my WM based 3646 project and had instant regret... ouch! :undecided:
