They are very similar! I almost had to double take... I haven't got a date version yet, so this will add nicely! shame about my crown. I find it interesting both out dials turn a similar yellow-ish hue!

 

I don´t think I´ve seen a date version with the rail dial, IIRC I´ve only ever seen them running the cal 551

 

Just back from local watchmaker who cleaned up the hands, case and bracelet. Also psi test.

 

That is very nice Sir !

I have the coming just next after reference, square crown guards from IV/1965



... unfortunately dial and hands are later replacement .... should have been gilt like yours

 

Omegamaniac!

 

Just adding another railroad dial to the pile before.

 

Not my usual style of watch today but admit it is growing on me, an awkward little blighter to try and photograph.
135.001 with the cal. 601 dating to 1967.

 

Humidity is gone. I can wear this one without fogging up.

 

Perfect white for a bright day ahead...

 

Another beutiful day in Chicago!

Love the lume on these!

 

Friday, can't wait until knock off time!

 

I'm not going to be taking this off anytime soon, so assume this is what I'm wearing every day for quite a while:

 

Not if I run into you in a dark alley....muahahaha!








Just kidding of course, congrats! I prefer that one over the dsotm.

 

How do you feel the nato strap?
