    Lovely pair MMMD! Is one rose gold? Or is it the illusion of the yellow dial patina? Really looks lovely anyways!

    Thanks! They're both yellow gold and no doubt started off identical. It's the patina... fortunately very even and pleasant, IMO, and I like the way it makes the lettering pop.

    So near yet so far, eBay purchase, paid immediately only to receive an email " sorry I sold it earlier today and didn't have time to remove it"
    Payment refunded and yes I have started a dispute but no matter the outcome, no clock and a poor experience ::censored::

    Picked up a NOS 1159/155 bracelet for my 145.013 flightmaster, bracelet was mainly all the links plus the all important engraved clasp. The other links and clasp part I already had. Super happy to have a mint complete 1159/155 bracelet :thumbsup:

    Not bought, but passed on to me by my mother. Belonged to my grandfather and dates to July 1968. Seiko Sportsmatic with very nice sunray dial and massively tall applied indices. Polished the scratches out of the plexi and put on a new strap and I'm really enjoying it. The 37mm case is just about perfect for me.
