/Very Interesting!

Hey, L.!

Thanks for the pic. As a noob who's still learning, I never heard of a Rolex SpaceDweller. Is that brand bona fide or fantasy??

Regardless, thanks a lot!

dave: The Space-Dweller was a limited-run, Japanese market-only 1016 that was sold in the mid-1960s. Most of the writeups about it will tell a little story about how it commemorated the visit of Mercury astronauts to Japan. I don't know if this is true, or if it's one of those things that gets repeated over and over without ever being confirmed.

Anyway, it's identical to the Explorer of the time, except for the text on the dial. And that's why the gen sells for ~$40,000, rather than the $4,000 a lot of ordinary 1016s go for!

Is that a kilt in your colours? Is that a knife or something else?

Cool pic with cool watch!

Yes it's my kilt. Was getting it out for a wedding this weekend and thought it would make a nice background. It's Weathered Douglas tartan and I'm holding my Sgian Dubh :) Which normally gets tucked into the top of my dress socks.
