 I receive this Vintage and NOS Ricoh automatic (38$ incl shipping !) The crystal is with factes but not at the outer surface, the factes are inside the thickness. Now i have to find a good matching strap.

  Click on image for big view... Ricoh is today best known as a producer of high-quality, frequently expensive and always unusual compact cameras. Pictured is what many photographers, me included, think is the best compact film camera ever made, the Ricoh GR1. The 28mm f2.8 lens is as good as it gets. The body is magnesium and looks like new even though it has been all over the U.S. and U.K. with me since the 1990s. They make a digital version today, also expensive and unusual. I'm willing to bet it is the same company that made your watch. |

Don't they also make cough drops? Just kidding! LOL Sire Yes Mr TBarry I was just thinking that they may well be the one same camera company. and look what I found  For further explanation please refer - www.electric-watches.co.uk/make/hamilton/ricoh/ricoh.phpwhose picture appears above following a successful trawl courtesy of Google BTW, Ricola's lemon mint drops are very nice  and I wonder if the Sheriff of BosKoeVille may include them as a future prop in his world-reknown horror :-/logikal pikchures from the EBNWKS. Be well pals and enjoy your watch Mr Bestak ZIN  Not usually shaken nor stirred ;D ;D ;D |
