Happy days,

Got this beautiful 165024 -64 HF, a serial 23.000.xxx (late 1965) with one of the most beautiful and rare type B bezel and dial i’ve ever seen.

This one almost slipped my hands due to a work trip and not being able to bid on it in an auction. I grieved and thought this one was lost forever, but luck and destiny must have played an role this time.

I visited my watchmaker and told him that I was heart broken of a watch I missed. Some time went talking about other watches and he pulled out a watch he recently had acquired.

And what do my eyes see!? The same watch!!
Sometimes the stars do align...

So today I picked it up, fully serviced and ready for another 55 years, now on my wrist
with a 1506-16 bracelet stamped 4/66.

How high would we have gone against each other if I would have been bidding on this one also? 😀
