What I Am Wearing Today

Well spotted, Geo. The watch is a 1957 RAAF issue and I believe the hands are a different combination from the pre 1950s RAF issue. These hands are correct for the Australian 1957 issue but they are replacement hands and were replaced by a recent restoration done at the IWC factory at Schaffhausen. The original hands literally fell apart and could not be saved, though they did give them back to me for reference.

I also changed the bezel on the PO from Orange to Black as I found the orange a bit too loud for me and I rarely wore it, but since the change I love to wear it. I am trying it with a variety of straps and have some on order from Steveo straps. I will probably end up with going back to the bracelet, but fun rotating in the meantime.
