    I Really Enjoy This Hobby!

    I enjoy searching for cars, parts and anything related to the Porsche brand. I recently have started collecting some of the early Orfina Porsche Design watches, they are beautiful watches, if you don't own one you should. I currently have 3, an original Orfina marked watch (very first issue) with a valjoux 7750 movement, a "PD" 7750 valjoux and a later Military "PD" with the Lemania 5100 movement. I know there are people on this registry that have some of these watches, Frank in FLA. and others check them out, http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...nograph-Orfina Anyway here is an early Blaupunkt Frankfurt I purchased and I thought I would show the before and after picture, I redid the blue dot which always fades cleaned up the push buttons, painted the orange needle and made a faceplate for a 914. I hate to see it go because it really looks good almost like brand new! I sold the radio to someone restoring a '70 914 for $395 plus $35 for the faceplate. Anything I make on these parts go right back into my cars, I have #2 drivers, see my signature below.

    I currently have a dozen wristwatches in my collection, and the PD Orfina is definitely one of my favorites! Really completes the overall experience when out and about in the 911!

    Why do I get the feeling that Orfina watches are sold via MLM?

    Had to Google MLM. I am so not cool. I don't know any acronyms.
