Jumbo size (2748 ref).. black waffle dial.. rose gold markers.. crosshair..!!!

When I got it, it had a YG second hand, a badly damaged minute hand, and a rather improper crown. I managed to source a re-dialled 2748 as a donor, and some hand/crown swaps and a service later, here we are. I also sourced a genuine 19mm BOR (originally came on a 2869 reference), which also wasn’t easy to find!

I’ve never seen another black waffle dial Geneve, let alone a jumbo. Please share if you’ve seen one?

Not an easy one to photograph -

Very nice indeed. I love the old cursive Geneves and I’ve never seen this variation.

Congratulations! I once owned a 2748 with a black dial. Sold it in Japan.

Certainly not easy to find.
