| Good point about the instrument panel theme Tim ! The instrument panel on that wheel does seem alot different than the look of the sub dials on the watch. I guess it's inspired somehow then..I didnt know much at all about Arnold and Son, or their partnership with Graham either ! Thanks for the info on all of this ! ____________________________________ | |
