Another Zhaozhouqiao at the AMCHPR

Post by AlbertaTime » January 9th 2025, 8:31pm

I think it's kinda funny that I can now type that name correctly pretty well mindlessly...and it sure wasn't like that from the get-go.

Anyways, it's clean as a whistle, and smooth winding, too.

If you recall, this is named after the somewhat famous 1500 year old bridge near Shijiazhuang. Logo and caseback depict the bridge.

...and the bridge, from 2018

Greta looking watch, and great pics as always.

Surely that bridge has been rebuilt?
Maintained would be more accurate. I think.

Thanks to allaya for the kindness!

One of the things I like most about China is walking down some street, and realizing that folks have walked down that. exact. street. for over 1500 years. Every time that occurs to me, it gives me a welcome sense of perspective.
