And the moonphase is already set to help me plan when to drag out our telescope and annoy my kid with space facts.

路In love with watches from the 30s/40s.
Found a nice anonymous watch powered by an early landeron movement which ticked all the boxes:
- stepped case
- black "snail" dial
- flexible lugs
- 38mm in diameter (looks huge on the wrist)

路Local find. 1972 Willard. Underneath that beat up crystal appears to be an amazing dial. Running -2s/day @ an amplitude of 172潞 and 0.1ms beat error with no service history. Not bad for $800!

I just love it when those old Seiko divers still have a pink-ish red lume plot on the seconds hand. Congrats!

路Wish I hadn't. Long time seller with 100% positive feedback and crappy photos. First time it didn't work out for me. If anybody has a dial for sale let me know 馃榿

That thing looks awesome! It also looks like it's been hiding in a safe for 50 years.
Congrats on your good news!
Random question: does the red lume on the second react to UV at all? Or is it just painted red? I always love when colored, vintage lume survives.

Looks not to bad, are you sure it's not just the lens letting the dial appearance down?
Matt black dials can be tricky especially in harsh lighting, from your image it looks like possibly some fading in the upper segment.
I bought a similar looking watch 2 weeks ago and what I thought was dial damage was actually a discoloration of the lens on the dial side between 10 and 12 or X and XII.
