The Roamer Stingray is very cool, mirrorman. Yes, I have some. :-) Valjoux 7733 inside this one. Tissot 872 (Lemania 1271) inside this. And this one is Japanese, but not the usual Seiko 6138/9 fare. I wish the Japanese hadn't given up on hand winding chronos in the late 60s.

Good to see you still have this one Bob. I always will Chris, it's not going anywhere! My son will have it after I shed my mortal coil! LOL!!!! Spencer serviced the movement and re-lumed the dial. It's one of my absolute favorites. Love watching the smooth sweep of the seconds hand.

I seem to remember BusDriverMike had some Citizens that were similar in style. Remember his out the window in the rear view mirror shots on his buses?

Very fun to see these, and I particularly like donciccio 's ROGERS up-down chrono! My collection started with old chronographs and I still have quite a few in the box. I'd really like to add a Japanese one! Here are some group shots, and I'm happy to expand on any of them if there is interest.

As you probably know, it is a ref A385, from the first series of automatic chronographs in 1969-70. It's not as popular as the A384 and especially the A386 references from that first series, but I have always liked the dial, with the radial gradient of the green/khaki color. Looking at that photo, it seems that the lower pusher may need some attention!
