Final day with the Soleure

Courtesy of Eterna
Another brief affair of the heart is now coming to an end.  I have one more day with the Eterna Soleure before it must board its return flight to Grenchen.  I thought that I would spare you my less than fantastic photos so you could see this wonderful watch in its best light.

After nearly fifteen days, we are back to + 3 seconds of deviation.

And for those of you who like the vitals - here they are:
