That´s a beauty, I missed out on a black waffled version of this one just recently

 

I like the honeycomb textured sofa

 

Dr. NFW more like it! That is really special! Will have to second dibs that since I am late to the party. A mesmerizing watch, Dr. No.

 

You're all way behind with your dibs. Just ask Art how long ago I offered my dibs. I'm afraid this one's going to the last man standing ;-)

Confirmed! Miki's first in line, and has been for years.

 

Calibre 265 from 1950-1952. Super condition almost unworn.






Not great pics I'm afraid.

 

Gorgeous watch!

 

Thanks bieb

 

Ha, though I dibs it but I sincerely doubt one would let go of such an amazing piece...

 

Found another one.... This one bumps!!

 

Seamaster 30 cal 269 ref 125.003-62 back from service this morning.
The only thing to do now is to put a strap on it and post a WRUW shot!

 

And strapped to my wrist

 

Some gorgeous machines here gentlemen

 

I see a lot of these waffle dials come up for sale but it seems most appear dirty with instances of discoloration. Is it possible to clean a waffle dial and if so, is this considered refinishing the dial? I don't mind a consistent, attractive patina but the random spotting is a deal breaker for me. Anyone had success cleaning a waffle dial that's not considered a full restoration (i.e. refinished) or is any type of cleaning work to the dial by definition a "refinished dial"?

 

I have a couple.
