Once upon a time Canon was drastically behind Leica in the great camera race.  In fact, in 1956 Canon had always been  playing catch up with Leica!   Against the Leica M3's magnificently bright rangefinder/viewfinder, fast bayonet lens mount and faster lever advance,  Canon's best was the squinty eyed IVSB2 with its much slower to operate knob wind advance and screw lens mount.   It was no contest. Canon's hopes were pinned on a secret weapon:  the Canon V.   The new camera would dispense with that tricky advance lever and replace it with a faster bottom trigger advance AND an AUTOMATICALLY CORRECTED parallax auxiliary viewfinders! WOW!  Unfortunately Canon forgot about how inconvenient the trigger advance is for tripod use. Canon V sales never took off as expected.  From 1956 to 1958 Canon tried again and again with 9 excellent different model variations.   Personally I find these the most interesting and noteworthy of the Canon rangefinders. A half a century plus has proven the Canon V series tanks in relia ...

网上某手表论坛的文字。手头有几只没字的瑞士手表机芯。很可能就是这类的。可奇怪的是这方面的资料很少。

※※的军工科技虽然近年一直在飞速发展，五代机的歼-20、001A航母都是完全国产化，完全自主研发。可是在实体科技方面，尤其是在芯片这一科技的“心脏”，※※的发展还是有些抱歉的。有专家曾经直言“※※因为缺少自主芯片技术和产业，国家安全面临威胁。我们国家的多数发电厂，美国人可以远程关机，你还开不起来！”据官方数据显示，每一年※※在芯片方面要为美国送去2271亿美元（约折1.4万亿人民币）。

黄令仪院士和其学生
在国家安全面前，在大国尊严面前，拿高薪的演员还是得靠边站，得依靠艰苦奋斗的中国科研人员的！为了能让※※电脑、手机、卫星、※※、战机能够摆脱美国的软控制，当时已经66岁高龄的两弹一星元勋科学家黄令仪再次出山。在她手上经过了16年的研发，※※终于突破了美国对“宇航级芯片”的垄断，再也不需要通过“首脑级”外交向美国求购！

Professionally inspected in-house here at the Localtime Spa, this is an untouched example of a WW2 WWW by CYMA [Swiss], the biggest of the dirty dozen with a 38mm case diameter.

An eye-catching watch from any angle you look at it, this WWW military timepiece is from one of the 12 brands we collectors know as "The Dirty Dozen', that is to say, the 12 companies that supplied watches to the British MOD [Ministry of Defence] and bear what we also know as the broad arrow on both dial and caseback. CYMA WWWs used their own in-house 15j Cal. 234 movement. It has the serial number 390474. It is wearing a new old stock original regimental NATO that accentuates the military provenance of the watch. We have made many photos, including many macro close-up shots to give you the opportunity to enjoy the well maintained details of this exquisite and historic timepiece.

最近炒作的二战军表，所谓的 dirty dozen.

一些50-60年代著名的瑞士产手动机芯价格低廉，其实挺值得把玩。
