One of my recent acquisitions that has become sort of a favorite and has frequented my rotation is this Roamer Searock. I have a few Roamers but this one's big and the style reminds me of the 1970s. It would have been something my father or uncles would have worn then.

| Signed crown- I find it nice that Roamer, like Revue, features signed crowns with the letter R - the initials on my name. |

| Case back. The photo also shows the size of the strap. |

| The movement is a Cal. 522 running at 21,600 beats per hour with a power reserve of up to 54 hours. |

The watch turned out to be quite reliable despite my not having it checked and maintained after I got it. It keeps time and the power reserve is quite decent, too. I think I have to use it more often to see how long it lasts on a full charge. Of course the best automatic watch in my collection is my Mido Ocean Star Caliber 80, which logs at 80 hours.
Here's another wrist shot in better lighting:
