Introducing the Portsea by Melbourne Watch Co.
When last we looked at Melbourne Watch Co., I was pleasantly impressed by their first watch, the Flinders. It was well executed, refined, had a few surprising details and, most importantly, was enjoyable to wear. Beyond all else, it made me make a mental note that Melbourne Watch Co had some design chops, some clever ideas and clearly was a brand to watch. Today, we're excited to talk about their next watch, the Portsea, which is currently kicking ass over on Kickstarter, having quickly blown through the initial goal and one stretch goal.It seems as though Marine Chronometer inspired watches are making a bit of a comeback. Sure, several brands have seemingly always offered classic interpretations, but we've seen a handful recently release ones, both affordable and not, that take the look, restyle it, making watches that are new designs. The Portsea is one of these watches, and to date is the most unique and perhaps the best looking. Named after a seaside locale on the Mornington Penins

Need Help!
I'm looking for some help in identifying a watch I was given after my father recently passed away.We believe the watch was made in 1946, as the serial number at the six o'clock position is listed at "421202," which would indicate that it was manufactured some time between 1946-1947.But there is no model number engraved at the twelve o'clock position. The watch was recently taken to a licensed Rolex dealer/repair center in Los Angeles who confirmed its authenticity.As you can see in the picture, the watch face features two sub-dials and has "Rolex," "Oyster Chronograph" and "Anti-Magnetic" written on the face but no Rolex crown emblem.Three buttons along the side. On the middle winder button, "Rolex" and "Oyster" are engraved with what appears is the Swiss cross between them.I've found a few images on the web of Rolex watches from the same era that look similar, but nothing exact.Here's a link to a 1946 “Monoblocco” Rolex, Ref. 4500. It's about halfway down the page: worldte
