Congratulations, VERY nice!馃グ Not sure how I missed this one, don't remember seeing this in FS thread.馃檨


It was there only briefly - another black waffle was at the top of my "buy it when you see it" list, so I pulled the trigger pretty quickly. 馃槈

Very,very nice! I'm hungry for a black waffle. Missed out on 3 recently .... foiled by time zones on this one 馃檨
However....I think I get to be the first to say DIBS please 馃榾

Didn't exactly buy this today but have only just found the time to post pics, my first hummer and I am very happy with it. And it is great to have a watch that I can pick up and wear without having to set the time.

YG on this one. I have a couple of guilloche with rose markers, but they're both ivory dials.

RG would look great on black guilloche! Anybody got one to show???

Here's mine:

Got this crocodile strap from ebay. Not the best quality, but this one was the nicest from the lot.

I just bought this yesterday. Has anyone seen this type of textured dial before?

Posted in the WRUW section as well. Alpina cal 592. Picked up at less then we pay for a full case of beer. Movement is prestine (but dry) partly due to the use of a designated dust cover, and dial has aged very gently for a +/- 60 year old watch.
The crystal was damaged, and the sellers picture not very flattering. I think the improvement of a new crystal and a 30 minutes of cleaning was worth the efforts?

Really nice pick-up. Very attractive, and those Alpinas are underrated. The cases are especially nice.

Cheers,

I was headed out for a bike ride, and I caught the mailman before he came down my street. Naturally, like a good WIS,I had him pull my package then and there...
