It's the only souvenir I have left from a time when I had a few bob in my arse pocket. Nice car, clothes, watch etc. Travelled about quite a bit and generally saw a little bit of the world.
These days I very rarely venture more than 20 miles from home, passport expired a decade ago and struggle to get by on part time hours at just above the living wage. Life's a funny old thing....
All the best.
Here's a pic of a Racing dial MKII Speedy of mine which is a good indicator as it has different colours for its functions.
Once you start the stopwatch (top right button) the elapsed Seconds are shown on the large orange centre seconds hand, the minutes on the RH subdial and the hours at the bottom. Another push will stop the stopwatch so you can read off the elapsed time. Pushing the lower button will reset it to zero.
The left hand white handed subdial is the normal seconds hand.
Hope that helps.
I read about your new Fender amp on the forum and didn't have a clue what you were talking about re caps etc so it goes both ways.

Hamilton Jazzmaster - an obvious choice given my predeliction for guitars of the same name - ETA movement and nice exhibition back

£650 from creation
I also have this but at 42mm I find it a bit too small so it'll be on the block soon. Cracking watch though

Nice catch!
Vintage plain Geneves like that are a classic IMO.
Got a few of them here.
Here are my silver dials...
Re winding, the power reserve will be around 40 hours if in tip top condition so a full wind every morning will be sufficient.
Just wind it carefully until the winder reaches its stop.
There is nothing like a mechanical watch is there?
