But here's a much better look at it. It still kinda feels right, but can't find any independent confirmation. The "Hour" dots are like little brass upholstery tacks. It keeps horrible time. Thanks Cleo, Imho, even by Witco standards the cuts are pretty crude. Almost as someone tried too hard to “make” it Witco. That being said I like it very much. The “horrible Time” issue is an easy fix. I just may try to replicate yours. Hope I can match your colors. Mahalo
